# _mm_broadcastss_ps, _mm256_broadcastss_ps

Take the low packed single-precision floating-point data element from the source operand and broadcast to all elements of the result vector. The corresponding Intel® AVX2 instruction is VBROADCASTSS.

## Syntax

extern __m128 _mm_broadcastss_ps(__m128 val);

extern __m256 _mm256_broadcastss_ps(__m128 val);

## Arguments

val | __m128 vector containing the 32-bit element to be broadcasted

## Description

Takes the low packed single-precision floating-point (float32) data element from the source operand and broadcasts it to all elements of the result vector. The source operand is `__m128`; only the low 32 bits of this operand are broadcasted.

## Returns

Return result of the broadcast operation.
