EVEX.LLIG.66.0F3A.W0 57 /r /ib VREDUCESS xmm1 {k1}{z}, xmm2, xmm3/m32{sae}, imm8 A V/V AVX512DQ Perform a reduction transformation on a scalar single-precision floating-point value in xmm3/m32 by subtracting a number of fraction bits specified by the imm8 field. Also, upper single-precision floating-point values (bits[127:32]) from xmm2 are copied to xmm1[127:32]. Stores the result in xmm1 register.

Description

Perform a reduction transformation of the binary encoded single-precision floating-point value in the low dword element of the second source operand (the third operand) and store the reduced result in binary floating-point format to the low dword element of the destination operand (the first operand) under the writemask k1. Bits 127:32 of the destination operand are copied from respective dword elements of the first source operand (the second operand).

The reduction transformation subtracts the integer part and the leading M fractional bits from the binary floating-point source value, where M is a unsigned integer specified by imm8[7:4], see Figure 5-28. Specifically, the reduction transformation can be expressed as:

dest = src – (ROUND(2M*src))*2-M;

where “Round()” treats “src”, “2M”, and their product as binary floating-point numbers with normalized significand and biased exponents.

The magnitude of the reduced result can be expressed by considering src= 2p*man2,

where ‘man2’ is the normalized significand and ‘p’ is the unbiased exponent

Then if RC = RNE: 0<=|Reduced Result|<=2p-M-1

Then if RC ≠ RNE: 0<=|Reduced Result|<2p-M

This instruction might end up with a precision exception set. However, in case of SPE set (i.e., Suppress Precision Exception, which is imm8[3]=1), no precision exception is reported.

Handling of special case of input values are listed in Table 5-29.

Operation

ReduceArgumentSP(SRC[31:0], imm8[7:0])
{
    // Check for NaN
    IF (SRC [31:0] = NAN) THEN
        RETURN (Convert SRC[31:0] to QNaN); FI
    M := imm8[7:4]; // Number of fraction bits of the normalized significand to be subtracted
    RC := imm8[1:0];// Round Control for ROUND() operation
    RC source := imm[2];
    SPE := imm[3];// Suppress Precision Exception
    TMP[31:0] := 2-M *{ROUND(2M*SRC[31:0], SPE, RC_source, RC)}; // ROUND() treats SRC and 2M as standard binary FP values
    TMP[31:0] := SRC[31:0] – TMP[31:0]; // subtraction under the same RC,SPE controls
RETURN TMP[31:0]; // binary encoded FP with biased exponent and normalized significand
}

SIMD Floating-Point Exceptions

Invalid, Precision.

If SPE is enabled, precision exception is not reported (regardless of MXCSR exception mask).
