Buffer Memory

buffer_store_format_d16_x

Convert 16 bits of data from the low 16 bits of a 32-bit vector input register into 1-component formatted data and store the data into a buffer…

Also written as buffer_store_d16_format_x. AMD's machine-readable ISA specification lists this name for the same instruction.

The ENC_MUBUF layout from AMD's machine-readable ISA specification (AMD CDNA 4). Opcode 12 in OP rebuilds 0x00000000E0300000, an identifier AMD lists for this encoding. Bits marked unassigned have no field in the specification. Not the same in every generation: AMD CDNA 2 (field layout), AMD CDNA 1 (field layout), AMD RDNA 2 (layout not verifiable), AMD RDNA 1 (layout not verifiable). The same in AMD CDNA 3.

Operands

  • VDATA
    Read. N/A Data format: Value can be anything. (OPR_VGPR_OR_ACCVGPR, FMT_ANY)
  • VADDR
    Read. N/A Data format: Value can be anything. (OPR_VGPR, FMT_ANY)
  • SRSRC
    Read. N/A Data format: 128-bit buffer resource constant. (OPR_SREG, FMT_RSRC_TYPED)
  • SOFFSET
    Read. N/A Data format: Value can be anything. (OPR_SSRC_NOLIT, FMT_ANY)

In AMD's order, as its machine-readable ISA specification lists them for the ENC_MUBUF encoding (AMD CDNA 4).

Description

Convert 16 bits of data from the low 16 bits of a 32-bit vector input register into 1-component formatted data and store the data into a buffer surface. The instruction specifies the data format of the surface, overriding the resource descriptor.

Example

buffer_store_format_d16_x v1, off, s[4:7], s1

A real instruction accepted by the LLVM assembler, taken verbatim from LLVM's own AMDGPU MC test suite (gfx10_asm_mubuf.s). Not from an AMD document, and not authored here.
