VCVTTPS2UQQ converts singles to unsigned quadwords, 2, 4 or 8 at a
time into an XMM, YMM or ZMM register, truncating toward zero whatever
MXCSR.RC says: the vector form of C’s cast from float to uint64_t.
It is the unsigned partner of VCVTTPS2QQ, which
came with it in AVX512DQ, the truncating form of
VCVTPS2UQQ and the quadword form of
VCVTTPS2UDQ. A value that truncates to 0 to
2^64 - 1 converts, so -0.5 gives 0; a negative value of -1 or less, a
NaN, an infinity or a value of 2^64 or more gives FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFh and
sets IE.
Recorded on Zen 5
- Negative values. A broadcast -1.5 gave FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFh in both
elements of
vcvttps2uqq xmm7{k7}{z}, dword bcst [...]and set IE, as did -2^31. - Large singles. 4EFFFFFFh, the largest single below 2^31, gave 7FFFFF80h, from a register and from memory.
- DAZ. With DAZ set, the smallest and the largest denormal both gave 0, without PE: the inputs count as zeros, which convert exactly.
- With
{sae}. Invcvttps2uqq zmm14{k4}, ymm8, {sae}, with IE unmasked, -1.0 and -2.5 gave FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFh, while 4.0, 1.5 and 2.5 gave 4, 1 and 2, without a fault or a flag.
In compiled code
At -O2 with -march=x86-64-v4, both compilers vectorize
u[i] = (uint64_t)f[i] with VCVTTPS2UQQ, GCC 14 on ZMM registers and
Clang 23 on YMM registers, 4 singles at a time from memory, as for the
signed cast. A single cast is VCVTTSS2USI.
_mm512_cvttps_epu64 is one VCVTTPS2UQQ.
AMD’s Zen 5 latency spreadsheet gives the same rows as for VCVTTPS2QQ: 3 cycles for the XMM form, 4 for the YMM form from a register and 6 for the ZMM form, with one macro-op from memory at YMM width.

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.
Shown for the zmm form; the xmm and ymm forms work the same on 2 and 4 singles. The forms write under a mask: where its bit is 0, the element keeps its old value, or zeroes it with {z}.
Result quadwords 7 to 0: a7, unchanged (bit 6 of k1 is 0), a5, a4, a3, a2, a1, a0.
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.f32[i]
zmm1.q[i] = cvtt_uint(a, 64)
elif zeroing:
zmm1.q[i] = 0
# else: zmm1.q[i] keeps its value
# m32bcst: src2.f32[i] is the m32 for every i
# {sae}: no exception flags
# zmm1 is zeroed from bit VL upRun on AMD Zen 5 (EPYC 9645): 9 cases.
