# _mm256_max_ps

Determines the maximum of float32 vectors. The corresponding Intel® AVX instruction is VMAXPS.

## Syntax

extern __m256 _mm256_max_ps(__m256 m1, __m256 m2);

## Arguments

m1 | float32 vector used for the operation
m2 | float32 vector also used for the operation

## Description

Performs a SIMD compare of the packed single-precision floating-point (float32) elements in the first source vector m1 and the second source vector m2, and returns the maximum value for each pair.

## Returns

Maximum value of the compare operation.
