VPRORD rotates each doubleword right by the count in its immediate, of which only the low 5 bits count: the bits that leave at the bottom come back in at the top. A rotate right by n is a rotate left by 32 - n, so it does nothing VPROLD cannot do with another immediate, and that page covers the uses; VPRORQ rotates quadwords, and VPRORVD takes a count per element from a register. It is AVX-512F’s, with masking and a broadcast source.
Recorded on Zen 5
- One bit.
vprord xmm14, xmm8, 0x1turned 00000001h into 80000000h and 7FFFFFFFh into BFFFFFFFh. - Counts taken modulo 32. 20h rotated by nothing: in
vprord zmm17{k3}, zmm30, 0x20every selected element came out as it went in. 1Fh and 3Fh both rotated by 31, a rotate left by one: the broadcast 1 became 2, and 7FFFFFFFh became FFFFFFFEh. - A half turn. The broadcast 7FFFFFFFh rotated by 10h gave FFFF7FFFh, its two words swapped.
Not from compilers
GCC 14 and Clang 23 at -O2 with -march=x86-64-v4 turn every rotate by
a constant into VPROLD: (x >> 7) | (x << 25) over uint32_t arrays
and the intrinsic _mm512_ror_epi32(a, 7) alike become
vprold ..., 25, and _mm256_ror_epi32(a, 8) becomes vprold ymm0, ymm0, 24. VPRORD therefore appears where assembly is written by
hand, as in code that follows a specification stated with right
rotations, such as the SHA-256 functions of FIPS 180-4. For a count in a
variable Clang emits VPRORVD with the count broadcast, and GCC two
shifts and VPORD.
AMD’s Zen 5 latency spreadsheet gives VPRORD 2 cycles of latency and two per cycle on pipes FP0 and FP1, as VPROLD.

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. 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]:
zmm1.d[i] = ror(src2.d[i], imm8, 32)
elif zeroing:
zmm1.d[i] = 0
# else: zmm1.d[i] keeps its value
# m32bcst: src2.d[i] is the m32 for every i
# zmm1 is zeroed from bit VL upRun on AMD Zen 5 (EPYC 9645): 6 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.
