dest = dest * source
The mulsd instruction multiplies the source value (second operand) to the destination (an XMM register). The source can be an XMM register or a 64 bit memory location. There is also vmulsd on CPUs with AVX instructions which allows using 3 XMM registers or 2 XMM registers and a memory location which can simplify coding.
mulsd xmm0, xmm1 ; multiply xmm0 by xmm1 ; leave the rest of xmm0 as is mulsd xmm0, [x] ; multiply xmm0 by 64 bit variable x ; leave the rest of xmm0 as is mulsd xmm0, [x+8*rcx] ; multiply xmm0 by element of array x ; rcx holds the index of the element ; leave the rest of xmm0 as is mulsd xmm0, [rdx] ; multiply xmm0 by [rdx] ; rdx holds be address of a 64 bit value ; leave the rest of xmm0 as is vmulsd xmm3, xmm0, xmm15 ; xmm3 = xmm0 * xmm15 ; leave the rest of xmm3 as is ; Note: operates by copying 128 bits from xmm0 to xmm3 ; before multiplying. This might occasionally be useful. ; The rest of ymm0 is left as is ; using mulss would change either xmm0 or xmm15 ; possibly requiring an additional instruction vmulsd xmm3, xmm0, [x] ; xmm3 = xmm0 * x ; leave the rest of xmm3 as is
