or GPU Virtual ISA NVIDIA
Bitwise OR Logic and Shift Instructions
or.type d, a, b;
Bitwise OR of two operands.
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.
Syntax Forms
One mnemonic covers many type / state-space / scope / modifier combinations - each row below is an independently valid form.
| Syntax | Data Types | State Space(s) | Modifiers | Min. Target | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| or.type d, a, b; | b16, b32, b64, pred | sm_10 | Bitwise OR, including a predicate form. |
Operands
-
d
Destination register -
a
First operand -
b
Second operand
Reference
NVIDIA PTX ISA
Description
Compute the bit-wise or operation for the bits in a and b.
Semantics
d = a | b (bitwise).
