## Notes
```
For each enabled channel <exec_size> elements are returned in RGBA order, with the disabled channels skipped in the results. Only the enabled pixels are returned in <dst>. Each channel's return data start in the next GRF; if <exec_size> * sizeof(dst_type) is smaller than the register size, the remaining portions of the register have undefined values.
For all operations, if <pixel_null_mask> is set, an additional GRF is returned after the sampler data, with <exec_size> bits in the first DWord containing the pixel null mask values. This field has the bit for all pixels set to 1 except those pixels in which a null page was source for at least one texel.
Extra parameters (after NumParams) for this instruction are required only for certain operations and surface types.
- **{pre-ICLLP}** All operands must have type F.
- **{ICLLP+}** All operands must have the same type, which can be either HF or F.
- It is permitted to skip the trailing parameters; the missing parameters will have the value of 0.
The table below summarizes the additional arguments for each of the sample4 operations.
