Assembly format

amomax.w rd, rs2, (rrs1)

Synopsis

Atomically:

  • Load the word at address rs1

  • Write the sign-extended value into rd

  • Signed compare the least-significant word of register rs2 to the loaded value, and select the maximum value

  • Write the maximum to the address in rs1
