Opcode	Mnemonic	Description
0F EC /r	PADDSB mm, mm/m64	Add packed signed byte integers from mm/m64 and mm and saturate the results.
66 0F EC /r	PADDSB xmm1	Add packed signed byte integers from xmm2/m128 and xmm1 saturate the results.
0F ED /r	PADDSW mm, mm/m64	Add packed signed word integers from mm/m64 and mm and saturate the results.
66 0F ED /r	PADDSW xmm1, xmm2/m128	Add packed signed word integers from xmm2/m128 and xmm1 and saturate the results.

# Description

Performs an SIMD add of the packed signed integers from the source operand (second operand) and the destination operand (first operand), and stores the packed integer results in the destination operand. See Figure 9-4 in the IA-32 Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual, Volume 1 for an illustration of an SIMD operation. Overflow is handled with signed saturation, as described in the following paragraphs.

These instructions can operate on either 64-bit or 128-bit operands. When operating on 64-bit operands, the destination operand must be an MMX technology register and the source operand can be either an MMX technology register or a 64-bit memory location. When operating on 128- bit operands, the destination operand must be an XMM register and the source operand can be either an XMM register or a 128-bit memory location.

The PADDSB instruction adds packed signed byte integers. When an individual byte result is beyond the range of a signed byte integer (that is, greater than 7FH or less than 80H), the saturated value of 7FH or 80H, respectively, is written to the destination operand.

The PADDSW instruction adds packed signed word integers. When an individual word result is beyond the range of a signed word integer (that is, greater than 7FFFH or less than 8000H), the saturated value of 7FFFH or 8000H, respectively, is written to the destination operand.

#GP(0)	If a memory operand effective address is outside the CS, DS, ES, FS, or GS segment limit. (128-bit operations only) If a memory operand is not aligned on a 16-byte boundary, regardless of segment.
