The ENC_SOP1 layout from AMD's machine-readable ISA specification (AMD CDNA 5). Opcode 106 in OP rebuilds 0xBE806A00, an identifier AMD lists for this encoding. The same in the other 2 generations that define it.

Format SOP1
Width 32 bits
Opcode 106
Identifier 0xBE806A00

Operands

  • SDST
    Written. All scalar destination operands. Data format: 32-bit single-precision floating point value. (OPR_SDST, FMT_NUM_F32)
  • SSRC0
    Read. All scalar operands. Covers all operands that are allowed as scalar sources. Data format: 16-bit half-precision floating point value. (OPR_SSRC, FMT_NUM_F16)

In AMD's order, as its machine-readable ISA specification lists them for the ENC_SOP1 encoding (AMD CDNA 5).

Description

Convert from a half-precision float value in the high 16 bits of a scalar input to a single-precision float value and store the result into a scalar register.
