## Opcode
RET = 0x34
## Format
| | |
| --- | --- |
| 0x34(RET) | Exec_size | Pred |
## Semantics
Returns from a subroutine/ends execution.
## Description
Conditionally returns execution to the caller's environment. Execution will terminate if return is called in a kernel.
- **Exec_size(ub):** Execution size
- Bit[2..0]: size of the region for source and destination operands
- 0b000: 1 element (scalar)
- 0b001: 2 elements
- 0b010: 4 elements
- 0b011: 8 elements
- 0b100: 16 elements
- 0b101: 32 elements
- Bit[7..4]: execution mask (explicit control over the enabled channels)
- 0b0000: M1
- 0b0001: M2
- 0b0010: M3
- 0b0011: M4
- 0b0100: M5
- 0b0101: M6
- 0b0110: M7
- 0b0111: M8
- 0b1000: M1_NM
- 0b1001: M2_NM
- 0b1010: M3_NM
- 0b1011: M4_NM
- 0b1100: M5_NM
- 0b1101: M6_NM
- 0b1110: M7_NM
- 0b1111: M8_NM
- **Pred(uw):** Predication control
#### Properties
- **Source Modifier:** false
## Text
```
[(<P>)] RET (<exec_size>)
```
## Notes
If <exec_size> is one: Execution returns to the caller (or terminates if called in a kernel) if predicate is true. Scalar returns must be marked with {NoMask}.
If <exec_size> is greater than one: Active channels that are predicated have their call mask and execution mask bit turned off. If the call mask becomes all zero, execution returns to the caller (or terminates if called in a kernel) and the call mask is restored to its previous value before the call.
