XORPS—Bitwise Logical XOR for Single-Precision Floating-Point Values
Description
Performs a bitwise logical exclusive-OR of the four packed single-precision floating-
point values from the source operand (second operand) and the destination operand
(first operand), and stores the result in the destination operand. The source operand
can be an XMM register or a 128-bit memory location. The destination operand is an
XMM register.
In 64-bit mode, using a REX prefix in the form of REX.R permits this instruction to
access additional registers (XMM8-XMM15).
Operation
DEST[127:0] ← DEST[127:0] BitwiseXOR SRC[127:0];
Intel C/C++ Compiler Intrinsic Equivalent
XORPS __m128 _mm_xor_ps(__m128 a, __m128 b)
SIMD Floating-Point Exceptions
None.
Protected Mode Exceptions
#GP(0) For an illegal memory operand effective address in the CS, DS,
ES, FS or GS segments.
If a memory operand is not aligned on a 16-byte boundary,
regardless of segment.
#SS(0) For an illegal address in the SS segment.
#PF(fault-code) For a page fault.
#NM If CR0.TS[bit 3] = 1.
#UD If CR0.EM[bit 2] = 1.
If CR4.OSFXSR[bit 9] = 0.
If CPUID.01H:EDX.SSE[bit 25] = 0.
