MULSS

Multiply Scalar Single-Precision Floating-Point Values

Opcode	Mnemonic	Description
`F3 0F 59 /r`	`MULSS xmm1, xmm2/m32`	Multiply the low single-precision floating-point value in xmm2/mem by the low single-precision floating-point value in xmm1.

Description
Multiplies the low single-precision floating-point value from the source operand (second operand) by the low single-precision floating-point value in the destination operand (first operand), and stores the single-precision floating-point result in the destination operand. The source operand can be an XMM register or a 32-bit memory location. The destination operand is an XMM register. The three high-order doublewords of the destination operand remain unchanged. See Figure 10-6 in the IA-32 Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual, Volume 1 for an illustration of a scalar single-precision floating-point operation.

Operation
Destination[0..31] = Destination[0..31] * Source[0..31]; //Destination[32..127] remains unchanged

SIMD Floating-Point Exceptions

Overflow, Underflow, Invalid, Precision, Denormal.

Protected Mode Exceptions

`#GP(0)`	For an illegal memory operand effective address in the CS, DS, ES, FS or GS segments.
`#GP(0)`	For an illegal memory operand effective address in the CS, DS, ES, FS or GS segments.
`#SS(0)`	For an illegal address in the SS segment.
`#PF(fault-code)`	For a page fault.
`#NM`	If TS in CR0 is set.
`#XM`	If an unmasked SIMD floating-point exception and OSXMMEXCPT in CR4 is 1.
`#UD`	If an unmasked SIMD floating-point exception and OSXMMEXCPT in CR4 is 0. If EM in CR0 is set. If OSFXSR in CR4 is 0. If CPUID feature flag SSE is 0.

Real-Address Mode Exceptions

`#GP(0)`	If any part of the operand lies outside the effective address space from 0 to FFFFH.
`#GP(0)`	If any part of the operand lies outside the effective address space from 0 to FFFFH.
`#NM`	If TS in CR0 is set.
`#XM`	If an unmasked SIMD floating-point exception and OSXMMEXCPT in CR4 is 1.
