The ENC_SOP2 layout from AMD's machine-readable ISA specification (AMD CDNA 5). Opcode 82 in OP rebuilds 0xA9000000, an identifier AMD lists for this encoding. The same in AMD RDNA 4.

Format SOP2
Width 32 bits
Opcode 82
Identifier 0xA9000000

Operands

  • SDST
    Written. All scalar destination operands. Data format: 16-bit half-precision floating point value. (OPR_SDST, FMT_NUM_F16)
  • 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)
  • SSRC1
    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_SOP2 encoding (AMD CDNA 5).
