In the previous chapter, you learned about the architecture and computing capabilities of AVX. In this chapter, you’ll learn how to use the AVX instruction set to perform scalar floating-point calculations. The first section includes a couple of sample programs that illustrate basic scalar floating-point arithmetic including addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The next section contains code that explains use of the scalar floating-point compare and conversion instructions. This is followed by two examples that demonstrate scalar floating-point ...
