Instruction
VFMSUBADD213PD
Fused multiply of packed doubles, second times first, plus the third in even elements and minus it in odd ones, into the first.
VFMSUBADD213PD computes op2 × op1 ± op3 for each double, rounded once: the even elements add op3, the operand that may come from memory, and the odd ones subtract it. It is the double form of VFMSUBADD213PS; VFMSUBADD231PD covers the family’s doubles and VFMADD213PS the operand roles of the 213 form. The VEX forms need the FMA extension; the EVEX forms need AVX-512F (with AVX512VL below 512 bits) or AVX10.1 and add a write mask, an addend of one double broadcast from memory and, in the 512-bit register form, a rounding mode given in the instruction.
In our builds
At -O2 over double arrays, with k a double parameter, GCC 14
compiles w[i] = x[i] * k + z[i] then w[i+1] = x[i+1] * k - z[i+1]
to VFMSUBADD213PD with z[i] from memory, on ymm registers for
-march=x86-64-v3 and zmm for -v4; Clang 23 negates every other
z[i] with VXORPD and uses VFMADD231PD. The
intrinsic _mm256_fmsubadd_pd with all three operands loaded from
arrays becomes VFMSUBADD213PD in Clang, with the third from memory,
and VFMSUBADD132PD in GCC.
FTZ on Zen 5
The same product, 2^-1022 × 0.5, ran under two MXCSR settings.
vfmsubadd213pd zmm14{k4}, zmm8, zmm29, {rd-sae}, MXCSR at 6600H with
FTZ clear, added 2^-1074 in element 0 and returned the denormal
0008000000000001H exactly. vfmsubadd213pd zmm7{k3}, zmm12, qword bcst [mem] under FFC0H (toward zero, FTZ, DAZ) subtracted -0 in element 1
and returned +0, flushing the tiny result and setting UE and PE.
In the {rd-sae} case, 10^300 × 10^300 + (-10^300) in element 6 gave
the largest finite double, 7FEFFFFFFFFFFFFFH: rounding down stops a
positive overflow there, and MXCSR kept its flags clear.
AMD’s latency spreadsheet for Zen 5 gives the VEX and the EVEX rows alike a latency of 4 cycles, two per cycle on pipes FP0 and FP1.

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 EVEX 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. The sources are drawn above the result, each element in its own column.
Result double i comes from double i of xmm1, xmm2 and xmm3. 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]: # 1 without a write mask
a = zmm1.f64[i]
b = zmm2.f64[i]
c = src3.f64[i]
if i % 2 == 0:
zmm1.f64[i] = fmadd(b, a, c)
else:
zmm1.f64[i] = fmsub(b, a, c)
elif zeroing:
zmm1.f64[i] = 0
# else: zmm1.f64[i] keeps its value
# m64bcst: src3.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): 15 cases.

Intrinsics
The C intrinsics of Clang 23.1.2 that compile to VFMSUBADD213PD, 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.
