# RandomX instruction listing ## Integer instructions For integer instructions, the destination is always an integer register (register group R). Source operand (if applicable) can be either an integer register or memory value. If `dst` and `src` refer to the same register, most instructions use `imm32` as the source operand instead of the register. This is indicated in the 'src == dst' column. Memory operands are loaded as 8-byte values from the address indicated by `src`. This indirect addressing is marked with square brackets: `[src]`. |frequency|instruction|dst|src|`src == dst ?`|operation| |-|-|-|-|-|-| |12/256|IADD_R|R|R|`src = imm32`|`dst = dst + src`| |7/256|IADD_M|R|mem|`src = imm32`|`dst = dst + [src]`| |16/256|IADD_RC|R|R|`src = dst`|`dst = dst + src + imm32`| |12/256|ISUB_R|R|R|`src = imm32`|`dst = dst - src`| |7/256|ISUB_M|R|mem|`src = imm32`|`dst = dst - [src]`| |9/256|IMUL_9C|R|-|-|`dst = 9 * dst + imm32`| |16/256|IMUL_R|R|R|`src = imm32`|`dst = dst * src`| |4/256|IMUL_M|R|mem|`src = imm32`|`dst = dst * [src]`| |4/256|IMULH_R|R|R|`src = dst`|`dst = (dst * src) >> 64`| |1/256|IMULH_M|R|mem|`src = imm32`|`dst = (dst * [src]) >> 64`| |4/256|ISMULH_R|R|R|`src = dst`|`dst = (dst * src) >> 64` (signed)| |1/256|ISMULH_M|R|mem|`src = imm32`|`dst = (dst * [src]) >> 64` (signed)| |4/256|IDIV_C|R|-|-|`dst = dst + dst / imm32`| |4/256|ISDIV_C|R|-|-|`dst = dst + dst / imm32` (signed)| |2/256|INEG_R|R|-|-|`dst = -dst`| |16/256|IXOR_R|R|R|`src = imm32`|`dst = dst ^ src`| |4/256|IXOR_M|R|mem|`src = imm32`|`dst = dst ^ [src]`| |10/256|IROR_R|R|R|`src = imm32`|`dst = dst >>> src`| |4/256|ISWAP_R|R|R|`src = dst`|`temp = src; src = dst; dst = temp`| #### IMULH and ISMULH These instructions output the high 64 bits of the whole 128-bit multiplication result. The result differs for signed and unsigned multiplication (`IMULH` is unsigned, `ISMULH` is signed). The variants with a register source operand do not use `imm32` (they perform a squaring operation if `dst` equals `src`). #### IDIV_C and ISDIV_C The division instructions use a constant divisor, so they can be optimized into a [multiplication by fixed-point reciprocal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_algorithm#Division_by_a_constant). `IDIV_C` performs unsigned division (`imm32` is zero-extended to 64 bits), while `ISDIV_C` performs signed division. In the case of division by zero, the instructions become a no-op. In the very rare case of signed overflow, the destination register is set to zero. #### ISWAP_R This instruction swaps the values of two registers. If source and destination refer to the same register, the result is a no-op. ## Floating point instructions For floating point instructions, the destination can be a group F or group E register. Source operand is either a group A register or a memory value. Memory operands are loaded as 8-byte values from the address indicated by `src`. The 8 byte value is interpreted as two 32-bit signed integers and implicitly converted to floating point format. The lower and upper memory operands are marked as `[src][0]` and `[src][1]`. |frequency|instruction|dst|src|operation| |-|-|-|-|-| |8/256|FSWAP_R|F+E|-|`(dst0, dst1) = (dst1, dst0)`| |20/256|FADD_R|F|A|`(dst0, dst1) = (dst0 + src0, dst1 + src1)`| |5/256|FADD_M|F|mem|`(dst0, dst1) = (dst0 + [src][0], dst1 + [src][1])`| |20/256|FSUB_R|F|A|`(dst0, dst1) = (dst0 - src0, dst1 - src1)`| |5/256|FSUB_M|F|mem|`(dst0, dst1) = (dst0 - [src][0], dst1 - [src][1])`| |6/256|FSCAL_R|F|-|(dst0, dst1) = (-2x0 * dst0, -2x1 * dst1)| |20/256|FMUL_R|E|A|`(dst0, dst1) = (dst0 * src0, dst1 * src1)`| |4/256|FDIV_M|E|mem|`(dst0, dst1) = (dst0 / [src][0], dst1 / [src][1])`| |6/256|FSQRT_R|E|-|`(dst0, dst1) = (√dst0, √dst1)`| #### FSCAL_R This instruction negates the number and multiplies it by 2x. `x` is calculated by taking the 5 least significant digits of the biased exponent and interpreting them as a binary number using the digit set `{-1, +1}` as opposed to the traditional `{0, 1}`. The possible values of `x` are all odd numbers from -31 to +31. The mathematical operation described above is equivalent to a bitwise XOR of the binary representation with the value of `0x81F0000000000000`. #### Denormal and NaN values Due to restrictions on the values of the floating point registers, no operation results in `NaN`. `FDIV_M` can produce a denormal result. In that case, the result is set to `DBL_MIN = 2.22507385850720138309e-308`, which is the smallest positive normal number. #### Rounding All floating point instructions give correctly rounded results. The rounding mode depends on the value of the `fprc` register: |`fprc`|rounding mode| |-------|------------| |0|roundTiesToEven| |1|roundTowardNegative| |2|roundTowardPositive| |3|roundTowardZero| The rounding modes are defined by the IEEE 754 standard. ## Other instructions There are 4 special instructions that have more than one source operand or the destination operand is a memory value. |frequency|instruction|dst|src|operation| |-|-|-|-|-| |7/256|COND_R|R|R|`if(condition(src, imm32)) dst = dst + 1` |1/256|COND_M|R|mem|`if(condition([src], imm32)) dst = dst + 1` |1/256|CFROUND|`fprc`|R|`fprc = src >>> imm32` |16/256|ISTORE|mem|R|`[dst] = src` #### COND These instructions conditionally increment the destination register. The condition function depends on the `mod.cond` flag and takes the lower 32 bits of the source operand and the value `imm32`. |`mod.cond`|signed|`condition`|probability|*x86*|*ARM* |---|---|----------|-----|--|----| |0|no|`src <= imm32`|0% - 100%|`JBE`|`BLS` |1|no|`src > imm32`|0% - 100%|`JA`|`BHI` |2|yes|`src - imm32 < 0`|50%|`JS`|`BMI` |3|yes|`src - imm32 >= 0`|50%|`JNS`|`BPL` |4|yes|`src - imm32` overflows|0% - 50%|`JO`|`BVS` |5|yes|`src - imm32` doesn't overflow|50% - 100%|`JNO`|`BVC` |6|yes|`src < imm32`|0% - 100%|`JL`|`BLT` |7|yes|`src >= imm32`|0% - 100%|`JGE`|`BGE` The 'signed' column specifies if the operands are interpreted as signed or unsigned 32-bit numbers. Column 'probability' lists the expected probability the condition is true (range means that the actual value for a specific instruction depends on `imm32`). *Columns 'x86' and 'ARM' list the corresponding hardware instructions (following a `CMP` instruction).* #### CFROUND This instruction sets the value of the `fprc` register to the 2 least significant bits of the source register rotated right by `imm32`. This changes the rounding mode of all subsequent floating point instructions. #### ISTORE The `ISTORE` instruction stores the value of the source integer register to the memory at the address specified by the destination register. The `src` and `dst` register can be the same.
