PMULHUW

Multiply Packed Unsigned Integers and Store High Result

Opcode Mnemonic Description
0F E4 /r PMULHUW mm1, mm2/m64 Multiply the packed unsigned word integers in mm1 register and mm2/m64, and store the high 16 bits of the results in mm1.
66 0F E4 /r PMULHUW xmm1, xmm2/m128 Multiply the packed unsigned word integers in xmm1 and xmm2/m128, and store the high 16 bits of the results in xmm1.
Description

Performs an SIMD unsigned multiply of the packed unsigned word integers in the destination operand (first operand) and the source operand (second operand), and stores the high 16 bits of each 32-bit intermediate results in the destination operand. (Figure 4-3 shows this operation when using 64-bit operands.) The source operand can be an MMX technology register or a 64- bit memory location, or it can be an XMM register or a 128-bit memory location. The destination operand can be an MMX technology register or an XMM register.
