PADDD

/ VPADDD

Add 32-bit elements

Compute each 32-bit result independently, keeping the low 32 bits.

SSE232-bit unsigned elements

Form	Bits	Requires	Encoding
`PADDD xmm1, xmm2`	128	SSE2	`66 0F FE /r`
`VPADDD xmm1, xmm2, xmm3`	128	AVX	`VEX.L0.66.0F.WIG FE /r`
`VPADDD ymm1, ymm2, ymm3`	256	AVX2	`VEX.L1.66.0F.WIG FE /r`

128 bits · 4 × 32-bit elements

Operation#

Pseudo-C · selected form

dst[i] = (a[i] + b[i]) mod 2^32

Simplified pseudocode for the selected form.

What to watch for

Each element operates independently; arithmetic does not propagate carry between elements.

Corresponding intrinsics#

C / C++ · selected form

_mm_add_epi32

Open example

__m128i _mm_add_epi32(__m128i a, __m128i b)

#include <emmintrin.h>SSE2

Documented instruction mapping; a compiler may use an equivalent encoding or optimize the operation away.

Documented mapping

PADDD xmm, xmm

Architectural details#

Flags: RFLAGS unchanged.
Destination: Writes the low 128 bits; upper vector-register bits are preserved.
Encoding: 66 0F FE /r
Operands: xmm1read / write · 128 bits (4 × 32) · unsigned
xmm2read · 128 bits (4 × 32) · unsigned
Coverage: Selected register-only 128/256-bit legacy and VEX forms. Memory, MMX, EVEX/AVX-512 and scalar floating-point forms are outside this selection.

Exception information & execution requirements

#NM
#UD

Feature availability, operating-system vector-state enablement and applicable floating-point exception controls still apply.

Feature availability alone does not guarantee execution: OS state and execution-level controls also apply. Use the linked architecture documentation for the full exception conditions.

Performance measurements are not included in this preview. Latency and throughput depend on the exact form and microarchitecture. Measured data on uops.info ↗
