# MOVLPS

# Move Low Packed Single-Precision Floating-Point Values

Opcode Mnemonic Description
0F 12 /r MOVLPS xmm, m64 Move two packed single-precision floating-point values from m64 to low quadword of xmm.
0F 13 /r MOVLPS m64, xmm Move two packed single-precision floating-point values from low quadword of xmm to m64.

# Description

Moves two packed single-precision floating-point values from the source operand (second operand) and the destination operand (first operand). The source and destination operands can be an XMM register or a 64-bit memory location. This instruction allows two single-precision floating-point values to be moved to and from the low quadword of an XMM register and memory. It cannot be used for register to register or memory to memory moves. When the destination operand is an XMM register, the high quadword of the register remains unchanged.

# Operation

//MOVLPS instruction for memory to XMM move:
if(IsXMM(Destination)) Destination[0..63] = Source;
//Destination[64..127] unchanged
//MOVLPS instruction for XMM to memory move:
else Destination = Source[0..63];
