DPPD



Determines the sign of the difference between two double-precision floating-point values. It compares the source operands and sets the destination operand to 1.0 if the first operand is greater than the second, -1.0 if the first operand is less than the second, and 0.0 if the operands are equal, unordered, or if either operand is a NaN.

The table below covers the supported source and destinations.

source destination(s)
f64, f64 f64
m8, m8 f64

DO NOT support LOCK

This instruction is only available when the processor is operating in 64-bit mode or compatibility mode. It requires the presence of the SSE4.1 instruction set extension.

The destination operand MUST be an XMM register; memory-to-memory operations are NOT supported. If either source operand is a NaN, the result is 0.0. The comparison is performed according to the IEEE 754 standard for double-precision floating-point numbers.
