Scalar Arithmetic

s_max_u32

Select the maximum of two unsigned 32-bit integer inputs, store the selected value into a scalar register and set SCC iff the first value is selected.

The ENC_SOP2 layout from AMD's machine-readable ISA specification (AMD CDNA 5). Opcode 21 in OP rebuilds 0x8A800000, an identifier AMD lists for this encoding. Not the same in every generation: AMD CDNA 4 (opcode 9), AMD CDNA 3 (opcode 9), AMD CDNA 2 (opcode 9), AMD CDNA 1 (opcode 9), AMD RDNA 2 (opcode 9), AMD RDNA 1 (opcode 9). The same in AMD RDNA 4, AMD RDNA 3.5, AMD RDNA 3.

Operands

  • SDST
    Written. All scalar destination operands. Data format: Unsigned 32-bit integral data. (OPR_SDST, FMT_NUM_U32)
  • SSRC0
    Read. All scalar operands. Covers all operands that are allowed as scalar sources. Data format: Unsigned 32-bit integral data. (OPR_SSRC, FMT_NUM_U32)
  • SSRC1
    Read. All scalar operands. Covers all operands that are allowed as scalar sources. Data format: Unsigned 32-bit integral data. (OPR_SSRC, FMT_NUM_U32)

In AMD's order, as its machine-readable ISA specification lists them for the ENC_SOP2 encoding (AMD CDNA 5).
