PMULHUW—Multiply Packed Unsigned Integers and Store High Result
Description
Performs a SIMD unsigned multiply of the packed unsigned word integers in the
destination operand (first operand) and the source operand (second operand), and
stores the high 16 bits of each 32-bit intermediate results in the destination operand.
(Figure 4-3 shows this operation when using 64-bit operands.) The source operand
can be an MMX technology register or a 64-bit memory location, or it can be an XMM
register or a 128-bit memory location. The destination operand can be an MMX tech-
nology register or 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
PMULHUW instruction with 64-bit operands:
TEMP0[31:0] ← DEST[15:0]
∗ SRC[15:0]; (* Unsigned multiplication *)
TEMP1[31:0] ← DEST[31:16]
∗ SRC[31:16];
