The ENC_SOPK layout from AMD's machine-readable ISA specification (AMD RDNA 3.5). Opcode 27 in OP rebuilds 0xBD800000, an identifier AMD lists for this encoding. Not the same in every generation: AMD RDNA 2 (opcode 26), AMD RDNA 1 (opcode 26). The same in AMD RDNA 3.

Format SOPK
Width 32 bits
Opcode 27
Identifier 0xBD800000

Operands

  • SDST
    Read. Special operand to indicate the result of the operation should be discarded. Data format: 32 bits of arbitrary data. (OPR_SDST_NULL, FMT_NUM_B32)
  • SIMM16
    Read. 16-bit integer constant. Data format: 16 bits of arbitrary data. (OPR_SIMM16, FMT_NUM_B16)

In AMD's order, as its machine-readable ISA specification lists them for the ENC_SOPK encoding (AMD RDNA 3.5).

Description

Wait for the LGKMCNT counter to be at or below the specified level. The LGKMCNT counter tracks the number of outstanding local data share (L), global data share (G), scalar memory (K) and message (M) events.

Example

s_waitcnt_lgkmcnt null, 0x1234
