MOVAPD
Moves aligned packed single-precision floating-point values from a source to a destination.
The following table covers what the source and destinations can be.
| source | destination(s) |
|---|---|
| xmm reg | xmm reg |
| m128 | xmm reg |
| xmm reg | m128 |
DO NOT support LOCK
The instruction REQUIRES that both the source and destination memory operands be aligned on a 16-byte boundary. If the memory operand is not aligned, a general-protection exception (#GP) SHALL be generated.
To avoid #GP exceptions, the programmer MUST ensure that memory addresses used with MOVAPD are 16-byte aligned. If alignment cannot be guaranteed, MOVUPS SHALL be used instead.
