VPROLVD rotates each doubleword of its first source left by the count in the matching doubleword of the second source, which may be a broadcast doubleword. It is the variable form of VPROLD, whose page covers the rotate and the shifts it replaces, and the doubleword form of VPROLVQ. VPRORVD rotates right, and VPSLLVD is the shift with per-element counts. Only the low 5 bits of each count matter, so a count of 32 leaves the element as it is, where VPSLLVD would give zero. It needs AVX512F, plus AVX512VL below 512 bits, and takes a write mask.
Recorded on Zen 5
- Counts modulo 32.
{evex} vprolvd xmm17, xmm30, xmm2rotated 1 by 1 into 2 and 1 by 20h into 1, and FFFFFFFFh stayed FFFFFFFFh for the counts 1Fh and 21h. - Large counts. In
vprolvd ymm5{k3}, ymm5, ymmword ptr [mem], a count of 80000000h left 7FFFFFFFh unchanged, 1Fh turned it into BFFFFFFFh, a rotate right by one, and 3 turned 80000000h into 4. - Merging. In the same case, the elements that K3 does not select kept their values, and the register was cleared from bit 256 up.
In compiled code
At -O2 with -march=x86-64-v4, Clang 23 compiles
(x[i] << s) | (x[i] >> ((32 - s) & 31)) with s = c[i] & 31 over
uint32_t arrays to VPROLVD on YMM registers, with the counts c[i]
straight from memory and no AND, since the instruction reduces them
itself. GCC 14 keeps the AND, VPSLLVD, VPSRLVD and an
OR on ZMM registers. Both compile _mm512_rolv_epi32 to one VPROLVD.
AMD’s Zen 5 latency spreadsheet gives VPROLVD one macro-op with 2 cycles, two per cycle on pipes FP0 and FP1, as VPROLVQ.

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 doubleword works alike: 4, 8 and 16 doublewords 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 doubleword from memory stands for every element of the last source.
Result doubleword i comes from doubleword i of xmm2 and xmm3. Result doublewords 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 = zmm2.d[i]
b = src3.d[i]
zmm1.d[i] = rol(a, b, 32)
elif zeroing:
zmm1.d[i] = 0
# else: zmm1.d[i] keeps its value
# m32bcst: src3.d[i] is the m32 for every i
# zmm1 is zeroed from bit VL upRun on AMD Zen 5 (EPYC 9645): 6 cases.

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