s_wait_event GPU Native ISA AMD Scalar
Branch & Control
Wait for an event to occur or a condition to be satisfied before continuing. The SIMM16 argument specifies which event(s) to wait on.
Encoding
The ENC_SOPP layout from AMD's machine-readable ISA specification (AMD RDNA 4). Opcode 11 in OP rebuilds 0xBF8B0000, an identifier AMD lists for this encoding. The same in the other 2 generations that define it.
Operands
-
SIMM16
Read. Specify one or more events to wait for. Data format: 16 bits of arbitrary data. (OPR_WAIT_EVENT, FMT_NUM_B16)
In AMD's order, as its machine-readable ISA specification lists them for the ENC_SOPP encoding (AMD RDNA 4).
