Description
This instruction calculates 4/8/16 range operation outputs from two sets of packed input single-precision floating-point values in the first source operand (the second operand) and the second source operand (the third operand). The range outputs are written to the destination operand (the first operand) under the writemask k1.
Bits7:4 of imm8 byte must be zero. The range operation output is performed in two parts, each configured by a two-bit control field within imm8[3:0]:
The encodings of imm8[1:0] and imm8[3:2] are shown in Figure 5-27.
When one or more of the input value is a NAN, the comparison operation may signal invalid exception (IE). Details with one of more input value is NAN is listed in Table 5-13. If the comparison raises an IE, the sign select control (imm8[3:2]) has no effect to the range operation output; this is indicated also in Table 5-13.
When both input values are zeros of opposite signs, the comparison operation of MIN/MAX in the range compare operation is slightly different from the conceptually similar floating-point MIN/MAX operation that are found in the instructions VMAXPD/VMINPD. The details of MIN/MAX/MIN_ABS/MAX_ABS operation for VRANGEPD/PS/SD/SS for magnitude-0, opposite-signed input cases are listed in Table 5-14.
Additionally, non-zero, equal-magnitude with opposite-sign input values perform MIN_ABS or MAX_ABS compar-ison operation with result listed in Table 5-15.

The following example describes a common usage of this instruction for checking that the input operand is bounded between ±150.
VRANGEPS zmm_dst, zmm_src, zmm_150, 02h;
Where: zmm_dst is the destination operand. zmm_src is the input operand to compare against ±150. zmm_150 is the reference operand, contains the value of 150. IMM=02(imm8[1:0]=’10) selects the Min Absolute value operation with selection of src1.sign.
In case |zmm_src| < 150, then its value will be written into zmm_dst. Otherwise, the value stored in zmm_dst will get the value of 150 (received on zmm_150). However, the sign control (imm8[3:2]=’00) instructs to select the sign of SRC1 received from zmm_src. So, even in the case of |zmm_src| ≥ 150, the selected sign of SRC1 is kept. Thus, if zmm_src < -150, the result of VRANGEPS will be the minimal value of -150 while if zmm_src > +150, the result of VRANGE will be the maximal value of +150.
