## mulss - multiply scalar single (32 bit floating point)

    dest = dest * source

The mulss instruction multiplies the source value (second operand) to the destination (an XMM register). The source can be an XMM register or a 32 bit memory location. There is also vmulss on CPUs with AVX instructions which allows using 3 XMM registers or 2 XMM registers and a memory location which can simplify coding.

            mulss   xmm0, xmm1          ; multiply xmm1 to xmm0
                                        ; leave the rest of xmm0 as is
            mulss   xmm0, [x]           ; multiply 32 bit variable x to xmm0
                                        ; leave the rest of xmm0 as is
            mulss   xmm0, [rdi]         ; multiply 32 bit value [rdi] to xmm0
                                        ; rdi holds the address of a float
                                        ; leave the rest of xmm0 as is
            mulss   xmm0, [x+4*rcx]     ; multiply 32 bit element of array x to xmm0
                                        ; rcx contains the array index
                                        ; leave the rest of xmm0 as is
            vmulss  xmm3, xmm0, xmm15   ; xmm3 = xmm0 * xmm15

                ; Note: operates by copying 128 bits from xmm0 to xmm3
                ; before multiplying.  This might occasionally be useful.
                ; The rest of ymm0 is left as is
                ; using mulss would change either xmm0 or xmm15
                ; possibly requiring an additional instruction

            vmulss  xmm3, xmm0, [x]     ; xmm3 = xmm0 * x
