Intel XED v2026.08.23

VCVTTPS2IBS converts each single to a signed byte, truncating toward zero, and saturates: 128 or more gives 7Fh, -129 or less gives 80h, and a NaN gives 0. It is VCVTPS2IBS with the rounding fixed, opcode 68h for 69h; that page covers the in-place layout, each byte in the low byte of its doubleword, and the rest of the family. Truncation moves the edges of the range: 127.9 gives 127 and -128.9 gives -128, each with PE alone, while 128 and -129 set IE, as do infinities and NaNs. The 512-bit register form takes {sae} instead of {er}, which keeps those from being reported but leaves the results.

The result is what C gives for a single first clamped to -128 and 127 and then converted to int8_t, apart from NaNs, for which C defines no result. VCVTTPS2DQ truncates the same way to doublewords and returns 80000000h for anything out of range; VCVTTPS2DQS is the saturating doubleword form.

In our builds

GCC 14 has no AVX10.2 option. Clang 23 with -mavx10.2 compiles _mm512_ipcvtts_ps_epi8 to vcvttps2ibs zmm0, zmm0 and _mm512_ipcvtts_roundps_epi8(x, _MM_FROUND_NO_EXC) to vcvttps2ibs zmm0, zmm0, {sae}. The clamp loop above, written in C, keeps VMAXPS, VMINPS, VCVTTPS2DQ and VPMOVDB. No AVX10.2 processor appears in this site’s recorded cases.

Forms

Every encoding of VCVTTPS2IBS that Intel XED knows, one row per XED instruction form (iform). How to read the notation.

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.

Element-wise: each single of the result comes from the single in the same place in each source.
VCVTTPS2IBS: element by elementResult single i comes from single i of xmm2. Result singles 3 to 0: r3, unchanged (bit 2 of k1 is 0), r1, r0.0123xmm2or m128a1110k1r0r1r3xmm1

Every single works alike: 4, 8 and 16 singles 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 m32bcst, one single from memory stands for every element of the last source.

Result single i comes from single i of xmm2. Result singles 3 to 0: r3, unchanged (bit 2 of k1 is 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 // 32):
    if k1[i]:
        a = src2.f32[i]
        zmm1.d[i] = cvtts_int(a, 8) & 0xFF
    elif zeroing:
        zmm1.d[i] = 0
    # else: zmm1.d[i] keeps its value
# m32bcst: src2.f32[i] is the m32 for every i
# {sae}: no exception flags
# zmm1 is zeroed from bit VL up

Not run on a processor: none of these processors has AVX10.2.

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.

Exceptions

The exception class is XED's name for the set of exception conditions that a form follows. How to read.

Intrinsics

The C intrinsics of Clang 23.1.2 that compile to VCVTTPS2IBS, 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.
