More Information
Summary:Techniques for instructions for min-max operations are described. An example apparatus comprises decoder circuitry to decode a single instruction, the single instruction to include fields for identifiers of a first source operand, a second source operand, an a destination operand, a field for an immediate operand, and a field for an opcode, the opcode to indicate execution circuitry is to perform a min-max operation, and execution circuitry to execute the decoded instruction according to the opcode to perform the min-max operation to determine a particular operation of five or more minimum and maximum operations in accordance with a value of the immediate operand, perform the determined particular operation on the identified first source operand and the identified second source operand to return a result, and store the result into the identified destination operand. Other examples are described and claimed.
