VCVTTPH2UQQ converts halves to unsigned quadwords, truncating toward zero: 2, 4 or 8 halves from the low 32, 64 or 128 bits of the source into an XMM, YMM or ZMM register. The opcode is 78h with the 66 prefix in EVEX map 5, where VCVTTPH2UDQ has no prefix; VCVTTPH2QQ is the signed form, VCVTPH2UQQ the rounding one, and VCVTTPD2UQQ does the same for doubles.

Range

Every half from 0 to 65504 fits, and so does a negative half above -1, which truncates to 0 with only the precision flag. From -1 down, and for NaN and the infinities, Intel’s entry raises the invalid exception and, masked, returns FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFh, a value no finite half produces. The 512-bit register form takes {sae}, a half can be broadcast from memory, and a write mask merges or zeroes quadwords.

In our builds

At -O2 with -march=x86-64-v4 -mavx512fp16, a loop converting a _Float16 array into a uint64_t array becomes VCVTTPH2UQQ on XMM registers in Clang 23, after 32-bit VMOVSS loads, and stays scalar in GCC 14, one VCVTTSH2USI from memory per element. _mm512_cvttph_epu64 gives vcvttph2uqq zmm0, xmm0 in both. AMD’s Zen 5 guide does not list AVX512-FP16, and this site’s recorded cases include none of VCVTTPH2UQQ.

Latency and throughput

What the scheduling models of LLVM 23.1.2 give for each form, not measurements: latency / reciprocal throughput in cycles, the ports under them. A row is a model, or models that agree; a dash, a form that its processors lack. Memory forms: latency from the address, ports without the load and store units. Which processors each model covers.

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.

Widen: each half becomes a quadword, converted, in the same order.
VCVTTPH2UQQ: each element widenedResult quadwords 7 to 0: a7, unchanged (bit 6 of k1 is 0), a5, a4, a3, a2, a1, a0.01234567xmm2or m128a11111110k1a0a1a2a3a4a5a7zmm1

Shown for the zmm form; the xmm and ymm forms work the same on 2 and 4 halves. The forms write under a mask: where its bit is 0, the element keeps its old value, or zeroes it with {z}.

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.f16[i]
        zmm1.q[i] = cvtt_uint(a, 64)
    elif zeroing:
        zmm1.q[i] = 0
    # else: zmm1.q[i] keeps its value
# m16bcst: src2.f16[i] is the m16 for every i
# {sae}: no exception flags
# zmm1 is zeroed from bit VL up

Not run on a processor: none of these processors has AVX512-FP16.

Operands

What each form reads and writes, as Intel XED records it: the operands of its syntax, in order, and the implicit ones that the syntax does not name. How to read.

Intrinsics

The C intrinsics of Clang 23.1.2 that compile to VCVTTPH2UQQ, each with the form it compiles to and the Clang options it needs. The forms come from compiling every intrinsic and decoding the result with Intel XED; all intrinsics A–Z explains the method.

CPUID and processors

Each form belongs to an XED ISA set. A form can be used when the processor reports every CPUID bit of one of its ISA set's alternatives.

CPUID requirements and processors of the XED ISA sets above. Alternatives are separated by “or”; processors follow XED’s chip model, whose AMD processors end with Zen 2, and the CPU data of this site for Zen 3 to Zen 6.
