The least significant, i.e. rightmost, bit in each byte of the source operand's leftmost word (bits 0-31) is examined. If an odd number of these bits are set to a value of binary 1, a value of 1 is placed into the leftmost word of result; otherwise the value of 0 is placed into this word.
Likewise, the least significant bit in each byte of the source operand's rightmost word (bits 32-63) is examined. If an odd number of these bits are set to a value of binary 1, a value of 1 is placed into the rightmost word of result; otherwise the value of 0 is placed into this word.
Usage Note: The Population Parity instructions are designed to be used in conjunction with the Population Count instructions to compute the parity of 4 or 8 byte data values.
