Instruction
VPSHAD
Shifts each signed doubleword arithmetically left or right by a signed count per element; XOP.
An AMD extension: Intel processors do not have this instruction.

Forms
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.
Result doubleword i comes from doubleword i of xmm2 and xmm3. Result doublewords 3 to 0: r3, r2, r1, r0.
Operation
What the forms do, in pseudocode that our tests run against results recorded on real processors. How to read.
r = cpuid_leaf(0x80000001, 0)[2]
if not r >> 11 & 1:
fault(UD) # CPUID: no XOP
for i in range(4):
c = src3.sb[4 * i] # doubleword i's low byte, signed
if abs(c) >= 32:
xmm1.d[i] = UNDEFINED # AMD's manual says nothing
elif c >= 0:
xmm1.d[i] = src2.sd[i] << c
else:
xmm1.d[i] = src2.sd[i] >> -c # sign bits in
# AMD's manual has the count modulo the width
# for VPSHAW, VPSHLD, VPSHAQ and VPSHLQ
# xmm1 is zeroed from bit 128 upRun on AMD Zen 5 (EPYC 9645): 4 cases. Its cases ran where CPUID reported no XOP, and every one raised an exception.

Flags
None: XED records no flag that the forms test or change.
Intrinsics
The C intrinsics of Clang 23.1.2 that compile to VPSHAD, 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.
| Intrinsic | Compiles to |
|---|---|
_mm_sha_epi32
__m128i _mm_sha_epi32(__m128i __A, __m128i __B) |
|
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.
| ISA set | CPUID | Processors |
|---|---|---|
XOP | XOP | Bulldozer, Piledriver |
