SDWA Operand Modifiers¶
Operand modifiers are not used separately. They are applied to source operands.
GFX8, GFX9 and GFX10 only.
VOP3 Modifiers¶
op_sel¶
Selects the low [15:0] or high [31:16] operand bits for source and destination operands. By default, low bits are used for all operands.
The number of values specified with the op_sel modifier must match the number of instruction operands (both source and destination). First value controls src0, second value controls src1 and so on, except that the last value controls destination. The value 0 selects the low bits, while 1 selects the high bits.
Note: op_sel modifier affects 16-bit operands only. For 32-bit operands the value specified by op_sel must be 0.
GFX9 and GFX10 only.
Syntax
Description
op_sel:[{0..1},{0..1}]
Select operand bits for instructions with 1 source operand.
op_sel:[{0..1},{0..1},{0..1}]
Select operand bits for instructions with 2 source operands.
op_sel:[{0..1},{0..1},{0..1},{0..1}]
Select operand bits for instructions with 3 source operands.
Note: numeric values may be specified as either integer numbers or absolute expressions.
Examples:
op_sel:[0,0]
op_sel:[0,1]
clamp¶
Clamp meaning depends on instruction.
For v_cmp instructions, clamp modifier indicates that the compare signals if a floating point exception occurs. By default, signaling is disabled. Not supported by GFX7.
For integer operations, clamp modifier indicates that the result must be clamped to the largest and smallest representable value. By default, there is no clamping. Integer clamping is not supported by GFX7.
For floating point operations, clamp modifier indicates that the result must be clamped to the range [0.0, 1.0]. By default, there is no clamping.
Note: clamp modifier is applied after output modifiers (if any).
Syntax
Description
clamp
Enables clamping (or signaling).
omod¶
Specifies if an output modifier must be applied to the result. By default, no output modifiers are applied.
Note: output modifiers are applied before clamping (if any).
Output modifiers are valid for f32 and f64 floating point results only. They must not be used with f16.
Note: v_cvt_f16_f32 is an exception. This instruction produces f16 result but accepts output modifiers.
Syntax
Description
mul:2
Multiply the result by 2.
mul:4
Multiply the result by 4.
div:2
Multiply the result by 0.5.
Note: numeric values may be specified as either integer numbers or absolute expressions.
Examples:
mul:2
mul:x // x must be equal to 2 or 4
VOP3 Operand Modifiers¶
Operand modifiers are not used separately. They are applied to source operands.
abs¶
Computes the absolute value of its operand. Must be applied before neg (if any). Valid for floating point operands only.
Syntax
Description
abs(<operand>)
Get the absolute value of a floating-point operand.
|<operand>|
The same as above (an SP3 syntax).
Note: avoid using SP3 syntax with operands specified as expressions because the trailing ‘|’ may be misinterpreted. Such operands should be enclosed into additional parentheses as shown in examples below.
Examples:
abs(v36) |v36| abs(x|y) // ok |(x|y)| // additional parentheses are required
neg¶
Computes the negative value of its operand. Must be applied after abs (if any). Valid for floating point operands only.
Syntax
Description
neg(<operand>)
Get the negative value of a floating-point operand. The operand may include an optional abs modifier.
-<operand>
The same as above (an SP3 syntax).
Note: SP3 syntax is supported with limitations because of a potential ambiguity. Currently it is allowed in the following cases:
In all other cases “-” is handled as a part of an expression that follows the sign.
Examples:
// Operands with negate modifiers neg(v[0]) neg(1.0) neg(abs(v0)) -v5 -abs(v5) -|v5| // Operands without negate modifiers -1 -x+y
VOP3P Modifiers¶
