The ENC_VOP3P layout from AMD's machine-readable ISA specification (AMD CDNA 5). Opcode 7 in OP rebuilds 0x00000000CC070000, an identifier AMD lists for this encoding. Not the same in every generation: AMD CDNA 4 (field layout), AMD CDNA 3 (field layout), AMD CDNA 2 (field layout), AMD CDNA 1 (field layout), AMD RDNA 4 (field layout), AMD RDNA 3.5 (field layout), AMD RDNA 3 (field layout), AMD RDNA 2 (field layout), AMD RDNA 1 (field layout).

Operands

  • VDST
    Written. Operand must be a vector GPR. Uses an 8-bit operand field. Data format: Signed 16-bit integral data. Packed 2-component value. (OPR_VGPR, FMT_NUM_PK2_I16)
  • SRC0
    Read. All operands. Covers all operands that are allowed as scalar or vector sources. Data format: Signed 16-bit integral data. Packed 2-component value. (OPR_SRC, FMT_NUM_PK2_I16)
  • SRC1
    Read. All operands. Covers all operands that are allowed as scalar or vector sources. Data format: Signed 16-bit integral data. Packed 2-component value. (OPR_SRC, FMT_NUM_PK2_I16)

In AMD's order, as its machine-readable ISA specification lists them for the ENC_VOP3P encoding (AMD CDNA 5).

Semantics

declare tmp : 32'B; tmp[15 : 0].i16 = S0[15 : 0].i16 >= S1[15 : 0].i16 ? S0[15 : 0].i16 : S1[15 : 0].i16; tmp[31 : 16].i16 = S0[31 : 16].i16 >= S1[31 : 16].i16 ? S0[31 : 16].i16 : S1[31 : 16].i16; D0.b32 = tmp
