vote GPU Virtual ISA NVIDIA
Vote Warp-Level
vote.mode.pred d, {!}a;
Combine a per-lane predicate across the warp using any/all/ballot reduction.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| vote.mode.pred d, {!}a; | any, all, uni | sm_12 | Reduce predicate a across the warp: any true, all true, or all-lanes-agree. | ||
| vote.ballot.b32 d, {!}a; | ballot | sm_20 | Collect per-lane predicate a into a 32-bit bitmask, one bit per lane. |
