## Opcode
SCATTER = 0x3a
## Format
| | | | | | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 0x3a(SCATTER) | Elt_size | Num_elts | Surface | Global_offset | Element_offset | Src |
## Semantics
for (i = 0; i < exec_size; ++i) {
if (ChEn[i]) {
surface[global_offset+element_offset[i]] = src[i]; //1, 2, or 4 byte
}
}
## Description
Performs scattered write into <surface>, using the values from <src>.
- **Elt_size(ub):**
- Bit[1..0]: encodes the byte size of each element
- 0b00: 1 byte
- 0b01: 2 bytes
- 0b10: 4 bytes
- **Num_elts(ub):**
- Bit[1..0]: encodes the number of elements that will be written
- 0b00: 8 elements
- 0b01: 16 elements
- 0b10: 1 element
- Bit[7..4]: encodes the execution mask as described in Table 4.
- **Surface(ub):** Index of the surface variable. It must be a buffer. Valid values are:
- 0: T0 - Shared Local Memory (SLM) access
- 5: T255 - Stateless surface access
- **Global_offset(scalar):** The global offset of all the elements in element size. Must have type UD
- **Element_offset(raw_operand):** The raw operand of a general variable storing the offset values. The first Num_elts elements will be used as the offsets into the surface, and they are in the unit of element size. Must have type UD
- **Src(raw_operand):** The variable providing the values to be written. The first num_elts elements will be used. The operand must have one of UD, D, F type; for 1 and 2 byte accesses the upper bits will be ignored
#### Properties
- **Out-of-bound Access:** On write: data is dropped.
## Text
```
SCATTER.<elt_size> <surface> <global_offset> <element_offset> <src>
```
## Notes
The behavior is undefined if more than one channel writes to the same address.
