/ VPSHUFD

Shuffle 32-bit elements

Reorder four 32-bit elements in each 128-bit lane using four two-bit selectors in an immediate.

Operation

Pseudo-C · selected form
for each 128-bit lane:
  dst[i] = a[(imm8 >> (2*i)) & 3]  // i = 0…3

Simplified pseudocode for the selected form.

Exact upstream semantics

Lane variant

let lanes := register_size / 128;
let elements := 128 / element_size;
let index_size := Log2(elements);
var result := Zero(register_size);
for lane := 0 to lanes-1 do
let s1 := src1[lane *: 128];
var lane_result := Zero(128);
for i := 0 to elements-1 do
let index := Integer::Align_Down(i, elements) + Unsigned(imm8[i % elements *: index_size]);
let r := s1[index *: element_size];
lane_result[i *: element_size] := r;
endfor;
result[lane *: 128] := lane_result;
endfor;

Parameterized by register and element size; from the pinned upstream definition.

What to watch for

  • The same immediate is applied independently to each 128-bit lane.
  • The intrinsic requires a compile-time immediate.

Exception information & execution requirements
  • #NM
  • #UD

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 ↗
