In the ISA documentation you will find:

  • Chapter 1 begins the document begins with an overview of the AMD GCN processors’ hardware and programming environment.
  • Chapter 2 describes the organization of GCN programs.
  • Chapter 3 describes the program state that is maintained.
  • Chapter 4 describes the program flow.
  • Chapter 5 describes the scalar ALU operations.
  • Chapter 6 describes the vector ALU operations.
  • Chapter 7 describes the scalar memory operations.
  • Chapter 8 describes the vector memory operations.
  • Chapter 9 provides information about the flat memory instructions.
  • Chapter 10 describes the data share operations.
  • Chapter 11 describes exporting the parameters of pixel color and vertex shaders.
  • Chapter 12 describes instruction details, first by the microcode format to which they belong,
  • Chapter 13 provides a detailed specification of each microcode format.
