This is a collection of Intel®’ IA32® Software Developer's Manuals (URL of the day) and AMD' AMD64 Architecture Programmer's Manual together with the related specifications, application notes, white papers, and change logs. The collection aims to keep all available revisions. It was originally created by Michal Necasek, see OS/2 Museum.

If you have a public document, related to the IA32® specifications and missing from the collection, please mail it to me. The content of this URL and all sub-ULRs is available for convenient bulk download by rsync x86docs password "" (empty).

LDBFADD, LDBFADDA, LDBFADDAL, LDBFADDL

Atomic BFloat16 add

This instruction atomically loads a 16-bit value from memory, adds it to the BFloat16 value held in a register, and stores the result back to memory. The value initially loaded from memory is returned in the destination register.

• LDBFADDA and LDBFADDAL load from memory with acquire semantics.
• LDBFADDL and LDBFADDAL store to memory with release semantics.
• LDBFADD has neither acquire nor release semantics.

This instruction:

• Disables alternative floating-point behaviors, as if FPCR.AH is 0.
• Generates only the default NaN, as if FPCR.DN is 1.
• Does not modify the cumulative FPSR exception bits (IDC, IXC, UFC, OFC, DZC, and IOC).
• Disables trapped floating-point exceptions, as if the FPCR trap enable bits (IDE, IXE, UFE, OFE, DZE, and IOE) are all zero.

For more information about memory ordering semantics, see Load-Acquire, Store-Release.

For information about addressing modes, see Load/Store addressing modes.
