isspacep GPU Virtual ISA NVIDIA

isspacep Data Movement and Conversion Instructions

isspacep.space p, a; // result is .pred

Write predicate register p with 1 if generic address a falls within the specified state space window and with 0 otherwise.

Encoding

PTX is a virtual instruction set. It has no single, stable native binary encoding - the compiler lowers this instruction to different native machine code depending on the selected NVIDIA target architecture (compute capability). This page intentionally shows no bit-diagram; see the target/version requirements below for what governs how this instruction compiles.

NVIDIA PTX ISA

Description

Write predicate register p with 1 if generic address a falls within the specified state space window and with 0 otherwise. Destination p has type.pred; the source address operand must be of type.u32 or.u64. isspacep.param{::entry} returns 1 if the generic address falls within the window of Kernel Function Parameters, otherwise returns 0. If.param is specified without any sub-qualifiers then it defaults to.param::entry. isspacep.global returns 1 for Kernel Function Parameters as.param window is contained within the.global window. If no sub-qualifier is specified with.shared state space, then::cta is assumed by default. Note ispacep. (see the official PTX ISA docs for the full description)
