VCOMISH—Compare Scalar Ordered FP16 Values and Set EFLAGS

Opcode/Instruction Op/En 64/32 bit Mode Support CPUID Feature Flag Description
EVEX.LLIG.NP.MAP5.W0 2F /r VCOMISH xmm1, xmm2/m16 {sae} A V/V AVX512-FP16 Compare low FP16 values in xmm1 and xmm2/m16, and set the EFLAGS flags accordingly.

Description

This instruction compares the FP16 values in the low word of operand 1 (first operand) and operand 2 (second operand), and sets the ZF, PF, and CF flags in the EFLAGS register according to the result (unordered, greater than, less than, or equal). The OF, SF and AF flags in the EFLAGS register are set to 0. The unordered result is returned if either source operand is a NaN (QNaN or SNaN).

Operand 1 is an XMM register; operand 2 can be an XMM register or a 16-bit memory location.

The VCOMISH instruction differs from the VUCOMISH instruction in that it signals a SIMD floating-point invalid oper-ation exception (#I) when a source operand is either a QNaN or SNaN. The VUCOMISH instruction signals an invalid numeric exception only if a source operand is an SNaN.

The EFLAGS register is not updated if an unmasked SIMD floating-point exception is generated. EVEX.vvvv is reserved and must be 1111b, otherwise instructions will #UD.

Operation

VCOMISH SRC1, SRC2

RESULT := OrderedCompare(SRC1.fp16[0],SRC2.fp16[0])

IF RESULT is UNORDERED:

ZF, PF, CF := 1, 1, 1

ELSE IF RESULT is GREATER_THAN:

ZF, PF, CF := 0, 0, 0

ELSE IF RESULT is LESS_THAN:

ZF, PF, CF := 0, 0, 1

ELSE: // RESULT is EQUALS

ZF, PF, CF := 1, 0, 0

OF, AF, SF := 0, 0, 0
