LD is a standalone 32-bit AGU instruction that forms a register-offset address and loads one aligned little-endian 8-byte value.
LD transforms SrcR according to SrcRType, shifts the transformed value left by the encoded shamt, and adds it modulo 2^PTO_XLEN to the snapshotted SrcL base.
After complete preflight, the instruction performs one little-endian 8-byte load and preserves the complete 64-bit loaded pattern for destination publication.
This form performs no base-register writeback; its effective address is used only by the selected memory operation.
SrcL supplies the base; SrcR supplies the offset; SrcRType supplies the offset transformation. Every encoded Reg5 source among SrcL, SrcR uses codes 0..23 for GPRs, 24..27 for T#1..T#4, and 28..31 for U#1..U#4 without consumption.RegDst receives the loaded result; destination codes 1..23 write GPRs, 30 pushes U, 31 pushes T, and 0 plus 24..29 discard only that result.SrcRType values 0..3 and all shamt values 0..31 are assigned; transformation precedes the encoded shift.All explicit and implicit scalar sources are snapshotted before memory or destination effects, so aliases observe pre-instruction values.
A successful attempt records one relaxed load event, preserves memory and reservation state, publishes or discards the loaded value, and advances TPC by 4 bytes.
Each effective address must satisfy 8-byte alignment. Misalignment raises Fault_DataAlignment before translation; a later permission or bounded-memory failure raises Fault_DataPage at the original address.
A fault records no successful memory event, performs no partial memory, destination, or writeback effect, preserves pending writeback, and leaves the faulting TPC available for full reissue.
A fixed-bit mismatch, reserved field value, or unavailable selected T/U source raises Fault_IllegalInstruction before instruction effects.
This example demonstrates the address calculation only; exact behavior remains in the current ASL and instruction contract.
With base 0x100, unchanged offset source 4, and shamt=1, the aligned displacement is 8 and base plus displacement is 0x108. The memory access uses 0x108. If permitted, the instruction loads 8 bytes from that aligned address.
