The ENC_VOP3 layout from AMD's machine-readable ISA specification (AMD CDNA 5). Opcode 877 in OP rebuilds 0x00000000D76D0000, an identifier AMD lists for this encoding. Not the same in every generation: AMD CDNA 4 (opcode 616, field layout).

Format VOP3
Width 64 bits
Opcode 877
Identifier 0x00000000D76D0000

Operands

  • VDST
    Written. Operand must be a vector GPR. Uses an 8-bit operand field. Data format: 16-bit brain floating point value. Packed 2-component value. (OPR_VGPR, FMT_NUM_PK2_BF16)
  • SRC0
    Read. All operands. Covers all operands that are allowed as scalar or vector sources. Data format: 32-bit single-precision floating point value. (OPR_SRC, FMT_NUM_F32)
  • SRC1
    Read. All operands. Covers all operands that are allowed as scalar or vector sources. Data format: 32-bit single-precision floating point value. (OPR_SRC, FMT_NUM_F32)

In AMD's order, as its machine-readable ISA specification lists them for the ENC_VOP3 encoding (AMD CDNA 5).
