Atomic MAX unsigned byte (acquire)

This instruction is defined by:

Encoding

svg

Synopsis

Atomically with acquire ordering:

  • Load the byte at address xs1

  • Write the sign-extended value into xd

  • Unsigned compare the least-significant byte of register xs2 to the loaded value, and select the maximum value

  • Write the maximum to the address in xs1

Decode Variables

Bits<5> xs2 = $encoding[24:20];
Bits<5> xs1 = $encoding[19:15];

Execution

  • Pruned, XLEN == 64

  • Original

memory_model_acquire();
XReg virtual_address = X[xs1];
