v_min_f32 GPU Native ISA AMD Vector

Vector Arithmetic

v_min_f32

Select the minimum of two single-precision float inputs and store the result into a vector register.

Also written as v_min_num_f32. AMD's machine-readable ISA specification lists this name for the same instruction.

The ENC_VOP2 layout from AMD's machine-readable ISA specification (AMD CDNA 4). Opcode 10 in OP rebuilds 0x14000000, an identifier AMD lists for this encoding. Not the same in every generation: AMD RDNA 3.5 (opcode 15), AMD RDNA 3 (opcode 15), AMD RDNA 2 (opcode 15), AMD RDNA 1 (opcode 15). The same in AMD CDNA 3, AMD CDNA 2, AMD CDNA 1.

D0.f32 = S0.f32 < S1.f32 ? S0.f32 : S1.f32 endif
