CVTPS2PI—Convert Packed Single-Precision FP Values to Packed Dword Integers

Instruction Operand Encoding

Description

Converts two packed single-precision floating-point values in the source operand (second operand) to two packed 
signed doubleword integers in the destination operand (first operand).
The source operand can be an XMM register or a 128-bit memory location. The destination operand is an MMX tech-
nology register. When the source operand is an XMM register, the two single-precision floating-point values are 
contained in the low quadword of the register. When a conversion is inexact, the value returned is rounded 
according to the rounding control bits in the MXCSR register. If a converted result is larger than the maximum 
signed doubleword integer, the floating-point invalid exception is raised, and if this exception is masked, the indef-
inite integer value (80000000H) is returned.
CVTPS2PI causes a transition from x87 FPU to MMX technology operation (that is, the x87 FPU top-of-stack pointer 
is set to 0 and the x87 FPU tag word is set to all 0s [valid]). If this instruction is executed while an x87 FPU floating-
point exception is pending, the exception is handled before the CVTPS2PI instruction is executed.
In 64-bit mode, use of the REX.R prefix permits this instruction to access additional registers (XMM8-XMM15).

Operation

DEST[31:0] ← Convert_Single_Precision_Floating_Point_To_Integer(SRC[31:0]);

DEST[63:32] ← Convert_Single_Precision_Floating_Point_To_Integer(SRC[63:32]);
