<p>The formula is:</p>
<p>GETEXP(x) = floor(log<sub>2</sub>(|x|))</p>
<p>Notation <strong>floor(x)</strong> stands for maximal integer not exceeding real number x.</p>
<p>Software usage of VGETEXPxx and VGETMANTxx instructions generally involve a combination of GETEXP operation and GETMANT operation (see VGETMANTPD). Thus VGETEXPxx instruction do not require software to handle SIMD FP exceptions.</p>
