v_mov_b16

Move 16-bit data from a vector input into a vector register.

The ENC_VOP1 layout from AMD's machine-readable ISA specification (AMD CDNA 5). Opcode 28 in OP rebuilds 0x7E003800, an identifier AMD lists for this encoding. Bits marked unassigned have no field in the specification. Not the same in every generation: AMD RDNA 3.5 (field layout), AMD RDNA 3 (field layout). The same in AMD RDNA 4.

Format VOP1
Width 32 bits
Opcode 28
Identifier 0x7E003800

Operands

  • VDST
    Written. Operand must be a vector GPR. Uses an 8-bit operand field. Data format: 16 bits of arbitrary data. (OPR_VGPR, FMT_NUM_B16)
  • SRC0
    Read. All operands. Covers all operands that are allowed as scalar or vector sources. Data format: 16 bits of arbitrary data. (OPR_SRC, FMT_NUM_B16)

In AMD's order, as its machine-readable ISA specification lists them for the ENC_VOP1 encoding (AMD CDNA 5).
