Questions tagged [adx]

ADX is the name of Intel's arbitrary-precision arithmetic instruction set for the x86 architecture. Questions about azure data explorer should NOT use this tag; the [azure-data-explorer] tag should be used instead.

Intel ADX (Multi-Precision Add-Carry Instruction Extensions) is Intel's arbitrary-precision arithmetic extension to the x86 instruction set architecture (ISA). Intel ADX was first supported in the Broadwell micro-architecture

The instruction set extension contains just two new instructions, though MULX from BMI2 is also considered as a part of the large integer arithmetic support

Both instructions are more efficient variants of the existing ADC instruction, with the difference that each of the two new instructions affects only one flag, where ADC as a signed addition may set both overflow and carry flags, and as an old-style x86 instruction also reset the rest of the CPU flags. Having two versions affecting different flags means that two chains of additions with carry can be calculated in parallel.

What is the difference between the ADC and ADCX instructions on ia32/ia64?

I was looking through the Intel software developer manual when I encountered the ADCX instruction, which was previously unknown to me; its encoding is 66 0F 38 F6. It seems to be almost identical to the ADC instruction, so why would you use ADCX…

_addcarry_u64 and _addcarryx_u64 with MSVC and ICC

MSVC and ICC both support the intrinsics _addcarry_u64 and _addcarryx_u64. According to Intel's Intrinsic Guide and white paper these should map to adcx and adox respectively. However, by looking at the generated assembly it's clear they map to adc…

When to use ADOX instead of ADCX?

The only difference mentioned in the Intel instruction set reference is the usage of the overflow-flag instead of the carry-flag. When does one use ADOX instead of ADCX to perform an unsigned addition with a carry?

Why adox and adcx don't play well together on Ryzen?

I spent quite a lot of time hand-optimizing low-level integer arithmetic, with some success. For instance, my subroutine for 6x6 multiplication spends 66 ticks compared to 82 ticks of mpn_mul_basecase(6,6) on Skylake. My code is published on…
