LDS / Data Share

ds_store_b8_d16_hi

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

Also written as ds_write_b8_d16_hi. 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 160 in OP rebuilds 0x00000000DA800000, 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. Packed 4-component value. (OPR_VGPR, FMT_NUM_PK4_B8)

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