## Instruction Operand Encoding ¶

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

### Description ¶

Compress (stores) up to 64 byte values or 32 word values from the source operand (second operand) to the destination operand (first operand), based on the active elements determined by the writemask operand. Note: EVEX.vvvv is reserved and must be 1111b otherwise instructions will #UD.

Moves up to 512 bits of packed byte values from the source operand (second operand) to the destination operand (first operand). This instruction is used to store partial contents of a vector register into a byte vector or single memory location using the active elements in operand writemask.

Memory destination version: Only the contiguous vector is written to the destination memory location. EVEX.z must be zero.

Register destination version: If the vector length of the contiguous vector is less than that of the input vector in the source operand, the upper bits of the destination register are unmodified if EVEX.z is not set, otherwise the upper bits are zeroed.

This instruction supports memory fault suppression.

Note that the compressed displacement assumes a pre-scaling (N) corresponding to the size of one single element instead of the size of the full vector.
