SQRTSS

Computes the square root of a scalar single-precision floating-point value.

The following table covers what the source and destinations can be.

DO NOT support LOCK

This instruction is available in 64-bit mode and compatibility mode. It requires SSE support.

The instruction shall follow the precision and rounding control set in the MXCSR register. If the source operand is a signaling NaN, #I is signaled. If the source operand is negative, #I is signaled and a QNaN is returned. If the source operand is zero, the result is zero and no exception is signaled. Results that cannot be represented in the destination format shall signal #P.
