int _mm_extract_pi16(__m64 a, int n )
Extracts one of the four words of a. The selector n must be an immediate.
r := (n==0) ? a0 : ( (n==1) ? a1 : ( (n==2) ? a2 : a3 ) )
__m64 _mm_insert_pi16(__m64 a, int d, int n )
Inserts word d into one of four words of a. The selector n must be an
immediate.
r0 := (n==0) ? d : a0;
r1 := (n==1) ? d : a1;
r2 := (n==2) ? d : a2;
r3 := (n==3) ? d : a3;
__m64 _mm_max_pi16(__m64 a, __m64 b )
Computes the element-wise maximum of the words in a and b.
r0 := min(a0, b0)
r1 := min(a1, b1)
r2 := min(a2, b2)
r3 := min(a3, b3)
__m64 _mm_max_pu8(__m64 a, __m64 b )
Computes the element-wise maximum of the unsigned bytes in a and b.
r0 := min(a0, b0)
r1 := min(a1, b1)
...
r7 := min(a7, b7)
__m64 _mm_min_pi16(__m64 a, __m64 b )
Computes the element-wise minimum of the words in a and b.
r0 := min(a0, b0)
r1 := min(a1, b1)
r2 := min(a2, b2)
r3 := min(a3, b3)
__m64 _mm_min_pu8(__m64 a, __m64 b )
Computes the element-wise minimum of the unsigned bytes in a and b.
r0 := min(a0, b0)
r1 := min(a1, b1)
...
r7 := min(a7, b7)
int _mm_movemask_pi8(__m64 a )
Creates an 8-bit mask from the most significant bits of the bytes in a.
r := sign(a7)<<7 | sign(a6)<<6 |... | sign(a0)
__m64 _mm_mulhi_pu16(__m64 a, __m64 b )
Multiplies the unsigned words in a and b, returning the upper 16 bits of the 32-bit intermediate results.
r0 := hiword(a0 * b0)
r1 := hiword(a1 * b1)
r2 := hiword(a2 * b2)
r3 := hiword(a3 * b3)
__m64 _mm_shuffle_pi16(__m64 a, int n )
Returns a combination of the four words of a. The selector n must be an immediate.
r0 := word (n&0x3) of a
r1 := word ((n>>2)&0x3) of a
r2 := word ((n>>4)&0x3) of a
r3 := word ((n>>6)&0x3) of a
void _mm_maskmove_si64(__m64 d, __m64 n, char * p)
Conditionally store byte elements of d to address p. The high bit of each byte in the selector n determines whether the corresponding byte in d will be stored.
if (sign(n0)) p[0] := d0
if (sign(n1)) p[1] := d1
...
if (sign(n7)) p[7] := d7
__m64 _mm_avg_pu8(__m64 a, __m64 b)
Computes the (rounded) averages of the unsigned bytes in a and b.
t = (unsigned short)a0 + (unsigned short)b0
r0 = (t >> 1) | (t & 0x01)
...
t = (unsigned short)a7 + (unsigned short)b7
r7 = (unsigned char)((t >> 1) | (t & 0x01))
__m64 _mm_avg_pu16(__m64 a, __m64 b)

t = (unsigned int)a0 + (unsigned int)b0
r0 = (t >> 1) | (t & 0x01)
...
t = (unsigned word)a7 + (unsigned word)b7
r7 = (unsigned short)((t >> 1) | (t & 0x01))
__m64 _mm_sad_pu8(__m64 a, __m64 b)

r0 = abs(a0-b0) +... + abs(a7-b7)
r1 = r2 = r3 = 0
