_mm_abs_epi16

Visual Studio 2008

Microsoft Specific

Emits the Supplemental Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 (SSSE3) instruction pabsw. This instruction returns the absolute value for each packed 16-bit integer of the 128-bit parameter.

Copy 
__m128i _mm_abs_epi16( 
   __m128i a
);
[in] a

A 128-bit parameter that contains eight 16-bit signed integers for which the absolute values will be returned.

r0 := (a0 < 0) ? -a0 : a0

r1 := (a1 < 0) ? -a1 : a1

...

r7 := (a7 < 0) ? -a7 : a7

_mm_abs_epi16

x86, x64

Header file <tmmintrin.h>

The return value r and parameter a each consist of 128 bits. r0-r7, a0-a7 are the sequentially ordered 16-bit components of these parameters, where r0 and a0 indicate the least significant 16 bits.

Before using this intrinsic, software must ensure that the processor supports the instruction.
