# _mm256_loadu_ps

Moves packed single-precision floating point values from unaligned memory location to a destination vector. The corresponding Intel® AVX instruction isVMOVUPS.

## Syntax

extern __m256 _mm256_loadu_ps(float const *a);

## Arguments

*a | pointer to a memory location that can hold constant float32 values

## Description

Loads packed single-precision floating point values (float32 values) from the 256-bit unaligned memory location pointed to by a, into a destination float32 vector, which is retured by the intrinsic.

## Returns

A 256-bit vector with float32 values.
