VPCLMULQDQ
VPCLMULQDQ performs one carry-less multiplication per 128-bit lane of a YMM register, and of a ZMM register with AVX-512 or AVX10.

vpclmulqdq
VPCLMULQDQ performs the carry-less multiplication of PCLMULQDQ in every 128-bit lane of a YMM register, and of a ZMM register with AVX-512 or AVX10, with the same immediate choosing the quadwords in every lane. The 128-bit VEX form needs only PCLMULQDQ and AVX.
Instructions
| Mnemonic | Summary | Forms |
|---|---|---|
| VPCLMULQDQ | Carry-less multiplies one quadword of each source, chosen by an immediate, into a 128-bit product in each 128-bit lane. | 2 |
CPUID and processors
XED splits VPCLMULQDQ into 1 ISA set. Software can use a form when the processor reports every CPUID bit of one alternative of the form's ISA set.
| ISA set | CPUID | Processors |
|---|---|---|
VPCLMULQDQ | VPCLMULQDQ | Ice Lake (client), Tiger Lake, Alder Lake, Arrow Lake, Panther Lake, Nova Lake, Ice Lake (server), Sapphire Rapids, Emerald Rapids, Granite Rapids, Diamond Rapids, Sierra Forest, Clearwater Forest, Zen 3, Zen 4, Zen 5, Zen 6 |
