NOTES:
The 80386 uses an early-out multiply algorithm. The actual number of
clocks depends on the position of the most significant bit in the
optimizing multiplier, shown underlined above. The optimization occurs for
positive and negative values. Because of the early-out algorithm, clock
counts given are minimum to maximum. To calculate the actual clocks, use
the following formula:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Actual clock = if m <> 0 then max(ceiling(log{2} |m|), 3) + 6 clocks
Actual clock = if m = 0 then 9 clocks
(where m is the multiplier)
Add three clocks if the multiplier is a memory operand.
Operation
result = multiplicand * multiplier;
Description
IMUL performs signed multiplication. Some forms of the instruction
use implicit register operands. The operand combinations for all forms
of the instruction are shown in the "Description" column above.
IMUL clears the overflow and carry flags under the following conditions:
Instruction Form Condition for Clearing CF and OF
r/m8 AL = sign-extend of AL to 16 bits
r/m16 AX = sign-extend of AX to 32 bits
r/m32 EDX:EAX = sign-extend of EAX to 32 bits
r16,r/m16 Result exactly fits within r16
r/32,r/m32 Result exactly fits within r32
r16,r/m16,imm16 Result exactly fits within r16
r32,r/m32,imm32 Result exactly fits within r32
Flags Affected
OF and CF as described above; SF, ZF, AF, and PF are undefined
Protected Mode Exceptions
#GP(0) for an illegal memory operand effective address in the CS, DS,
ES, FS, or GS segments; #SS(0) for an illegal address in the SS segment;
#PF(fault-code) for a page fault
Real Address Mode Exceptions
Interrupt 13 if any part of the operand would lie outside of the effective
address space from 0 to 0FFFFH
Virtual 8086 Mode Exceptions
Same exeptions as in Real Address Mode; #PF(fault-code) for a page
fault
Notes
When using the accumulator forms (IMUL r/m8, IMUL r/m16, or IMUL
r/m32), the result of the multiplication is available even if the overflow
flag is set because the result is two times the size of the multiplicand
and multiplier. This is large enough to handle any possible result.
