v_max_num_f16 GPU Native ISA AMD Vector

Vector Arithmetic

v_max_num_f16

Select the IEEE maximumNumber() of two half-precision float inputs and store the selected value into a vector register.

Also written as v_max_f16. AMD's machine-readable ISA specification lists this name for the same instruction.

Operands

  • VDST
    Written. Operand must be a vector GPR. Uses an 8-bit operand field. Data format: 16-bit half-precision floating point value. (OPR_VGPR, FMT_NUM_F16)
  • 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)
  • VSRC1
    Read. Operand must be a vector GPR. Uses an 8-bit operand field. Data format: 16-bit half-precision floating point value. (OPR_VGPR, FMT_NUM_F16)

In AMD's order, as its machine-readable ISA specification lists them for the ENC_VOP2 encoding (AMD CDNA 5).
