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
