The ENC_VGLOBAL layout from AMD's machine-readable ISA specification (AMD CDNA 5). Opcode 93 in OP rebuilds 0x0000000000000000EE174000, an identifier AMD lists for this encoding. Bits marked unassigned have no field in the specification. No other generation in the specification defines this instruction.

Operands

  • VADDR
    Read. Operand must be a vector GPR. Uses an 8-bit operand field. Data format: Value can be anything. (OPR_VGPR, FMT_ANY)
  • SADDR
    Read. Any scalar GPR operand including VCC and NULL. Data format: Value can be anything. (OPR_SREG, FMT_ANY)

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