The ENC_VOP3 layout from AMD's machine-readable ISA specification (AMD CDNA 5). Opcode 785 in OP rebuilds 0x00000000D7110000, an identifier AMD lists for this encoding. Not the same in every generation: AMD CDNA 4 (opcode 672, field layout), AMD CDNA 3 (opcode 672, field layout), AMD CDNA 2 (opcode 672, field layout), AMD CDNA 1 (opcode 672, field layout), AMD RDNA 3.5 (field layout), AMD RDNA 3 (field layout), AMD RDNA 2 (field layout), AMD RDNA 1 (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: 32 bits of arbitrary data. (OPR_VGPR, FMT_NUM_B32)
  • 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)
  • SRC1
    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)

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