## Opcode
FENCE = 0x5c
## Format
| |
| --- |
| 0x5c(FENCE) | Mask |
## Semantics
Memory fence.
## Description
Performs scattered write into <surface>, using the values from <src>.
- **Mask(ub):** Controls whether the various caches should be flushed.
- Bit[0]: the "commit enable" bit. If set, the fence is guaranteed to be globally observable.
- Bit[1]: flush instruction cache if set.
- Bit[2]: flush sampler cache if set.
- Bit[3]: flush constant cache if set.
- Bit[4]: flush read-write cache if set.
- {ICLLP+}Bit[5]:
- 0b0: fence is applied to global memory (surface-based accesses and SVM)
- 0b1: fence applies to shared local memory only
- Bit[6]: flush L1 read-only data cache if set
- Bit[7]: indicates this is a scheduling barrier but will not generate an actual fence instruction.
#### Properties
## Text
```
FENCE_{GLOBAL|LOCAL}.{E?I?S?C?R?L1?}
FENCE_SW
//E - commit enable
//I - Instruction Cache
//S - Sampler Cache
//C - Constant Cache
//R - Read-Write Cache
//L1 - L1 Cache
//FENCE_SW means a software only scheduling barrier
```
## Notes
Cache flush is normally not needed for correctness.
