Arithmetic Intrinsics

The Intel® Streaming SIMD Extensions 2 (Intel® SSE2) intrinsics for integer arithmetic operations are listed in this topic. The prototypes for the Intel® SSE2 intrinsics are in the emmintrin.h header file.

The results of each intrinsic operation are placed in registers. The information about what is placed in each register appears in the tables below, in the detailed explanation of each intrinsic. R, R0, R1...R15 represent the registers in which results are placed.
