VGETMANTSD returns the significand of the low double of its second
source, scaled into the interval that the immediate picks, and copies
bits 127:64 from the first source. It is the scalar form of
VGETMANTPD. VGETMANTPS has
the table of the immediate’s two fields: bits 1:0 choose [1, 2),
[1/2, 2), [1/2, 1) or [3/4, 3/2), and bits 3:2 keep the sign, clear it
or turn negative inputs into the default NaN. That page also lists the
special inputs: zero and infinity give 1.0 with their sign. With
VGETEXPSD, which returns the exponent, it splits a
double as frexp does, and VGETMANTSS is the
single-precision form. The EVEX encoding adds a write mask on the one
element and {sae}.
Recorded on Zen 5
- Interval 0. With the immediate 0, -2^31 gave -1.0: the significand in [1, 2) with the input’s sign. Bits 127:64 came from XMM8, the first source.
- Masked off with zeroing. With bit 0 of K1 clear, the low double became zero and the upper one still came from the first source.
In compiled code
At -O2 with -march=x86-64-v4, GCC 14 and Clang 23 call the library for
frexp even with -ffast-math. _mm_getmant_sd(a, b, interval, sign)
compiles to VGETMANTSD with the two enums combined into the immediate,
_MM_MANT_NORM_1_2 with _MM_MANT_SIGN_src giving 0.
AMD’s Zen 5 latency spreadsheet gives one macro-op and 3 cycles, on pipes FP2 and FP3.

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.
The write mask k1 applies to the low double: with bit 0 clear it keeps its old value, or is zeroed with {z}.
Result double 0 is computed from double 0 of xmm3; double 1 is that of xmm2. Result doubles 1 to 0: a1, r0.
Operation
What the forms do, in pseudocode that our tests run against results recorded on real processors. How to read.
if k1[0]:
xmm1.f64[0] = getmant(src3.f64[0], imm8)
elif zeroing:
xmm1.f64[0] = 0
# else: xmm1.f64[0] keeps its value
xmm1.q[1] = xmm2.q[1]
# {sae}: no exception flags
# imm8[1:0]: [1, 2), [1/2, 2), [1/2, 1), [3/4, 3/2); bit 2: no sign; bit 3: negative gives NaN
# xmm1 is zeroed from bit 128 upRun on AMD Zen 5 (EPYC 9645): 3 cases.

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.
