VCVTPD2UQQ converts each double of an XMM, YMM or ZMM register, or of
memory, to an unsigned quadword, rounding as MXCSR.RC says or, in the
512-bit register form, as its {er} operand says. It is the unsigned
partner of VCVTPD2QQ, which came with it in
AVX512DQ, and the rounding form of VCVTTPD2UQQ.
The range is 0 to 2^64 - 1 after rounding: a negative value that does
not round to 0, a value of 2^64 or more, a NaN or an infinity gives
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFh and sets IE. VCVTPD2UDQ does the
same for doublewords.
Recorded on Zen 5
- Rounding up. With MXCSR rounding up, 0.5 gave 1, and -0.5 gave 0, a valid result since it rounds to zero; PE was set.
- Rounding down. -1.5 became -2, out of range, and gave FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFh with IE.
- An override.
vcvtpd2uqq zmm14{k4}, zmm8, {rn-sae}, with IE unmasked in MXCSR, gave FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFh for -2^63 and -2^32, converted 43DFFFFFE0000000h exactly to 7FFFFF8000000000h, and gave 0 for +0 and -0, with no fault and no flag. - Masked off. A broadcast signaling NaN in elements that K1 leaves
out gave zeros under
{z}and set no flag: masked elements raise no exception.
In compiled code
At -O2 with -march=x86-64-v4, GCC 14 and Clang 23 compile
_mm512_cvtpd_epu64 to VCVTPD2UQQ. Neither uses it for C: a loop of
(uint64_t)rint(d[i]) rounds first, with VRNDSCALEPD in GCC and
VROUNDPD in Clang, and then truncates with
VCVTTPD2UQQ.
AMD’s Zen 5 latency spreadsheet gives every width one macro-op on pipe FP2 or FP3 and 3 cycles, as for VCVTPD2QQ.

Data flow
Where the elements of the sources go, element 0 on the right; results that depend on a control value are drawn for an example. How to read.
Every double works alike: 2, 4 and 8 doubles in the xmm, ymm and zmm forms. The forms write under a mask: where its bit is 0, the element keeps its old value, or zeroes it with {z}. With m64bcst, one double from memory stands for every element of the last source.
Result double i comes from double i of xmm2. Result doubles 1 to 0: r1, r0.
Operation
What the forms do, in pseudocode that our tests run against results recorded on real processors. How to read.
for i in range(VL // 64):
if k1[i]:
a = src2.f64[i]
zmm1.q[i] = cvt_uint(a, 64)
elif zeroing:
zmm1.q[i] = 0
# else: zmm1.q[i] keeps its value
# m64bcst: src2.f64[i] is the m64 for every i
# {er}: the form's rounding, not MXCSR.RC, and no flags
# zmm1 is zeroed from bit VL upRun on AMD Zen 5 (EPYC 9645): 9 cases.
