MOVHPD information

In the x86 assembly programming language, MOVHPD is the name for a specific action performable by modern x86 processors with 2nd-generation Streaming SIMD Extensions (SSE2). This action involves either copying a number from memory to temporary space or copying a number from temporary space to memory.

Specifically, MOVHPD causes the value at an 8-byte memory region to be either copied to or assigned from the upper half of an XMM register.
