> 1. EVEX.W in non-64 bit is ignored; the instruction behaves as if the W0 version is used.

## Instruction Operand Encoding ¶

Op/En | Tuple Type | Operand 1 | Operand 2 | Operand 3 | Operand 4
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
A | Tuple1 Scalar | ModRM:reg (w) | ModRM:r/m (r) | N/A | N/A

### Description ¶

Broadcasts a 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit or 64-bit value from a general-purpose register (the second operand) to all the locations in the destination vector register (the first operand) using the writemask k1.

EVEX.vvvv is reserved and must be 1111b otherwise instructions will #UD.
