A compiled shader binary is comprised of two parts : the main instruction sequence and the operand descriptor table. These are both sent to the GPU around the same time but using separate [[GPU Commands]]. Instructions (such as format 1 instruction) may reference operand descriptors. When such is the case, the operand descriptor ID is the offset, in words, of the descriptor within the table.

Both instructions and descriptors are coded in little endian.

The instruction set seems to have been heavily inspired by Microsoft's vs_3_0 [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb172938%28v=vs.85%29.aspx].
 
Please note that this page is being written as the instruction set is reverse engineered; as such it may very well contain mistakes.

|  Loops over the code between itself and DST. First sets lcnt to INT.y, then increments lcnt by INT.z after each loop. Loops until lcnt reaches INT.y+INT.x, inclusive (that is : for(aL=INT.y;aL<=INT.y+INT.x;aL+=INT.z)). (INT is i0-i3, an integer vector uniform)

There are 3 global address registers : a0, a1 and a2 = lcnt (loop counter). For format 1 instructions, when IDX != 0, the value of the corresponding address register is added to SRC1's value.

a0 and a1 can be set manually through the ARL instruction. lcnt is set automatically by the LOOP instruction. Note that lcnt is still accessible and valid after exiting a LOOP block.
