MOVDDUP xmm1,xmm2/m64 F2 0F 12 /r
Move 64 bits representing the lower
double-precision data element from
XMM2/Mem
to XMM1 register and
duplicate.
MOVSHDUP xmm1,xmm2/m128 F3 0F 16 /r
Move 128 bits representing packed
single-precision data elements from
XMM2/Mem
to XMM1 register and
duplicate high.
MOVSLDUP xmm1,xmm2/m128 F3 0F 12 /r
Move 128 bits representing packed
single-precision data elements from
XMM2/Mem
to XMM1 register and
duplicate low.
MWAIT EAX,ECX 0F 01 C9
A hint that allows the processor to
stop instruction execution and enter
an
implementation–dependent
optimized state until occurrence of
a class events.

A.6.8.1 MONITOR – Setup Monitor Address
Opcode Instruction Description
0F 01 C8 MONITOR Setup Monitor Address.
The simulator does not recognize this instruction. Therefore the simulator generates an
invalid-opcode exception.
A.6.8.2 MWAIT – Monitor Wait
Opcode Instruction Description
0F 01 C9 MWAIT Monitor Wait.
The simulator does not recognize this instruction. Therefore the simulator generates an
invalid-opcode exception.
