subpd - subtract packed doubles (64 bit floating point)

dest[0] = dest[0] - source[0]
dest[1] = dest[1] - source[1]

The subpd instruction subtracts the 2 source values (second operand) from the 2 values of the destination (an XMM register). The source can be an XMM register or a 64 bit memory location. There is also vsubpd on CPUs with AVX instructions which allows using 3 XMM registers or 2 XMM registers and a memory location which can simplify coding and which subtracts 4 pairs of values if you use YMM registers.

        subpd   xmm0, xmm1          ; subtract 2 pairs from xmm1 and xmm0
                                    ; 2 differences go in xmm0
                                    ; leave the rest of ymm0 as is
        subpd   xmm0, [x]           ; subtract 2 pairs from x and xmm0
                                    ; x is an array of doubles
                                    ; leave the rest of ymm0 as is
        subpd   xmm0, [x+8*rax]     ; subtract 2 pairs from x and xmm0
                                    ; x is an array of doubles
                                    ; rax holds the index of the first element
                                    ; leave the rest of ymm0 as is
        vsubpd  xmm3, xmm0, xmm15   ; subtract 2 pairs from xmm0 & xmm15
                                    ; store results in xmm3
        vsubpd  ymm3, ymm0, [x]     ; subtract 4 pairs values from ymm0 & x
                                    ; x is a double array
                                    ; store results in ymm3
        vsubpd  ymm3, ymm0, [rsi]   ; subtract 4 pairs values from ymm0 & [rsi]
                                    ; rsi contains the address of a double array
                                    ; store results in ymm3
