Description:
The sets of elements from the two source operands are subtracted, and the results
placed in GR
r
1
.
If the difference between two elements cannot be represented in the result element
and a saturation completer is specified, then saturation clipping is performed. The
saturation can either be signed or unsigned, as given in
Table 2-48 . If the difference of
two elements is larger than the upper limit value, the result is the upper limit value. If
it is smaller than the lower limit value, the result is the lower limit value. The saturation
limits are given in
Table 2-49 .
