The ENC_VOP3 layout from AMD's machine-readable ISA specification (AMD CDNA 5). Opcode 885 in OP rebuilds 0x00000000D7750000, an identifier AMD lists for this encoding. No other generation in the specification defines this instruction.

Format VOP3
Width 64 bits
Opcode 885
Identifier 0x00000000D7750000

Operands

  • VDST
    Written. Operand must be a vector GPR. Uses an 8-bit operand field. Data format: N/A (OPR_VGPR, FMT_NUM_BF8)
  • SRC0
    Read. All operands. Covers all operands that are allowed as scalar or vector sources. Data format: 16-bit half-precision floating point value. (OPR_SRC, FMT_NUM_F16)
  • SRC1
    Read. All operands. Covers all operands that are allowed as scalar or vector sources. Data format: Unsigned 32-bit integral data. (OPR_SRC, FMT_NUM_U32)

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