The ENC_VOP3 layout from AMD's machine-readable ISA specification (AMD CDNA 4). Opcode 492 in OP rebuilds 0x00000000D1EC0000, an identifier AMD lists for this encoding. The same in the other 3 generations that define it.

  • SRC2

In AMD's order, as its machine-readable ISA specification lists them for the ENC_VOP3 encoding (AMD CDNA 4).

GFX Target Compatibility

Per-target GFX compatibility has not yet been verified for this instruction.

Supports saturation (signed 16-bit integer domain). If OPSEL[3] is 0 Result is written to 16 LSBs of destination VGPR and hi 16 bits are written as 0 (this is different from V_MAD_I16). If OPSEL[3] is 1 Result is written to 16 MSBs of destination VGPR and lo 16 bits are preserved.

Semantics

tmp = S0.i16 * S1.i16 + S2.i16; if OPSEL.u4[3] then D0 = { tmp.i16, D0[15 : 0] } else D0 = { 16'0, tmp.i16 } endif

A real instruction accepted by the LLVM assembler, taken verbatim from LLVM's own AMDGPU MC test suite (gfx9_asm_vop3_e64.s). Not from an AMD document, and not authored here.
