Set (Compare and Produce Value) Comparison & Selection
set.CmpOp.dtype.stype d, a, b;
Compare two operands and write a numeric (not predicate) 0/1 or all-ones/all-zeros result.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| set.CmpOp.dtype.stype d, a, b; | u32, s32, f32 | sm_10 | Comparison producing a value, useful when the result feeds arithmetic rather than a guarded branch. |

Semantics
d = CmpOp(a, b) ? (all-ones or 1) : 0, encoding depends on dtype.
