ds_min_f32 GPU Native ISA AMD Vector

LDS / Data Share

ds_min_f32

Select the minimum of two single-precision float inputs, given two values stored in the data register and a location in a data share.

Also written as ds_min_num_f32. AMD's machine-readable ISA specification lists this name for the same instruction.

The ENC_DS layout from AMD's machine-readable ISA specification (AMD CDNA 4). Opcode 18 in OP rebuilds 0x00000000D8240000, an identifier AMD lists for this encoding. Not the same in every generation: AMD CDNA 1 (field layout), AMD RDNA 3.5 (field layout), AMD RDNA 3 (field layout), AMD RDNA 2 (field layout), AMD RDNA 1 (field layout). The same in AMD CDNA 3, AMD CDNA 2.

Description

Select the minimum of two single-precision float inputs, given two values stored in the data register and a location in a data share. Update the data share with the selected value.

Semantics

addr = CalcDsAddr(ADDR.b32, OFFSET0.b32, OFFSET1.b32); tmp = MEM[addr].f32; src = DATA.f32; MEM[addr].f32 = src < tmp ? src : tmp; RETURN_DATA.f32 = tmp

Example

ds_min_f32 v1, v2

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