While the positive rays were processed by [[BMI1#BLSMSK|BLSMSK]] aka <code>((x-1) ^ x)</code> to clear the ray squares above the LS1B blockers,
the negative rays use a [[Parallel Prefix Algorithms#Fill Stuff|parallel prefix fill]] with three vector right shifts and ors, to clear all ray bits below the MS1B blockers.
The eight ray attacks attack sets were vertically and two times horizontally ored together for the final result.The conditional compiled AVX-512 version takes advantage of the [[AVX-512#VPLZCNT|_mm256_lzcnt_epi64 ]] <ref>[https://software.intel.com/sites/landingpage/IntrinsicsGuide/#text=_mm256_lzcnt_epi64&expand=5560,5471,3497 _mm256_lzcnt_epi64]</ref> and [[AVX-512#VPTERNLOG|_mm256_ternarylogic_epi64 ]] <ref>[https://software.intel.com/sites/landingpage/IntrinsicsGuide/#text=_mm256_ternarylogic_epi64&expand=5560,5471,3497,5873 _mm256_ternarylogic_epi64]</ref> intrinsics.
Rook and bishop naturally suffer from less vector utilization, and combine some other well known techniques, i.e. the bishop attack getter processes only positive rays by swapping bytes.
