LUI is a 32-bit scalar ALU instruction. It sign-extends the encoded 20-bit immediate, then shifts it left by 12 bits; its current instruction contract defines the result publication path and any additional state effect.
Execution snapshots the encoded inputs, then sign-extends the encoded 20-bit immediate, then shifts it left by 12 bits, and only afterward performs the destination effects.
RegDst field selects the Reg5 result target or discards the result.imm20 field carries the signed upper 20-bit immediate.These roles come from the current instruction contract. T/U sources are read and snapshotted without being removed from their queues; exact encoded-zero meanings appear in the generated defaults below.
Every scalar source is snapshotted before the destination effect. The completed value is then routed through RegDst using the current scalar destination map.
This ALU operation has no memory effect. After its successful architectural effects, TPC advances by 4 bytes.
The operation does not introduce a hidden scalar publication target or an implicit memory access. Architectural changes remain limited to the state effects enumerated by the current contract.
Materialization, movement, and extension are total at their fixed widths and do not raise arithmetic exceptions. A fixed-bit mismatch or unavailable selected T/U source faults before state effects.
The generated legality table is authoritative for assigned field values, reserved encodings, and destination discard codes. Decode and source availability are checked before architectural effects.
This example illustrates the current ASL owner and does not replace the normative operation.
For a small LUI example, immediate 1 produces XLEN value 0x1000 after the 12-bit shift.
Bodies come from owning ASL. Dragging or buttons change only this page-session view order.
No NDF clause is attached to this unit.
