The ENC_VOP3 layout from AMD's machine-readable ISA specification (AMD CDNA 5). Opcode 592 in OP rebuilds 0x00000000D6500000, an identifier AMD lists for this encoding. Not the same in every generation: AMD CDNA 4 (opcode 507, field layout), AMD CDNA 3 (opcode 507, field layout), AMD CDNA 2 (opcode 507, field layout), AMD CDNA 1 (opcode 507, field layout), AMD RDNA 3.5 (field layout), AMD RDNA 3 (field layout), AMD RDNA 2 (opcode 856, field layout), AMD RDNA 1 (opcode 856, field layout). The same in AMD RDNA 4.

Operands

  • VDST
    Written. Operand must be a vector GPR. Uses an 8-bit operand field. Data format: Signed 16-bit integral data. (OPR_VGPR, FMT_NUM_I16)
  • SRC0
    Read. All operands. Covers all operands that are allowed as scalar or vector sources. Data format: Signed 16-bit integral data. (OPR_SRC, FMT_NUM_I16)
  • SRC1
    Read. All operands. Covers all operands that are allowed as scalar or vector sources. Data format: Signed 16-bit integral data. (OPR_SRC, FMT_NUM_I16)
  • SRC2
    Read. All operands. Covers all operands that are allowed as scalar or vector sources. Data format: Signed 16-bit integral data. (OPR_SRC, FMT_NUM_I16)

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

Semantics

if v_max3_i16(S0.i16, S1.i16, S2.i16) == S0.i16 then D0.i16 = v_max_i16(S1.i16, S2.i16) elsif v_max3_i16(S0.i16, S1.i16, S2.i16) == S1.i16 then D0.i16 = v_max_i16(S0.i16, S2.i16) else D0.i16 = v_max_i16(S0.i16, S1.i16) endif
