flat_load_ubyte GPU Native ISA AMD Vector

Flat Memory

flat_load_ubyte

Load 8 bits of unsigned data from the flat aperture, zero extend to 32 bits and store the result into a vector register.

Also written as flat_load_u8. AMD's machine-readable ISA specification lists this name for the same instruction.

Encoding

Verified bit-level encoding data is not yet available for this instruction. The instruction-format classification below (FLAT) is well-documented and stable; exact per-target opcode/field bit positions have not yet been imported from a verified source.
Format FLAT

Operands

  • VDST
    Written. N/A Data format: Value can be anything. (OPR_VGPR_OR_ACCVGPR, FMT_ANY)
  • ADDR
    Read. N/A Data format: Value can be anything. (OPR_VGPR, FMT_ANY)

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