ds_store_b8

Store 8 bits of data from a vector register into a data share.

Also written as ds_write_b8. AMD's machine-readable ISA specification lists this name for the same instruction.

The ENC_VDS layout from AMD's machine-readable ISA specification (AMD CDNA 5). Opcode 30 in OP rebuilds 0x00000000D8780000, an identifier AMD lists for this encoding. Bits marked unassigned have no field in the specification. Not the same in every generation: AMD RDNA 3.5 (encoding ENC_DS, field layout), AMD RDNA 3 (encoding ENC_DS, field layout). The same in AMD RDNA 4.

Operands

  • ADDR
    Read. Operand must be a vector GPR. Uses an 8-bit operand field. Data format: 32 bits of arbitrary data. (OPR_VGPR, FMT_NUM_B32)
  • DATA0
    Read. Operand must be a vector GPR. Uses an 8-bit operand field. Data format: 8 bits of arbitrary data. (OPR_VGPR, FMT_NUM_B8)

In AMD's order, as its machine-readable ISA specification lists them for the ENC_VDS encoding (AMD CDNA 5).
