The float
(or double)
value given by data
is first converted to a half value using
the appropriate rounding mode. The half value is then written to address computed
as (p
+ offset
). The address computed as
(p
+ offset
) must be 16-bit aligned.
vstore_half
uses the current rounding mode. The default current
rounding mode is round to nearest even.
Vector Data Load and Store Functions allow you to read and write vector types from a pointer to memory.
The suffix n
in the function names
(i.e. vloadn
, vstoren
etc.)
represent n
-element
vectors, where n
= 2, 3, 4, 8 or 16.
The results of vector data
load and store functions are undefined if the address being read from or written to is
not correctly aligned. The pointer argument p
can be a pointer to
global,
local, or
private
memory for store functions. The pointer argument
p
can be a pointer to global, local,
constant or private memory for load functions.
NOTE: The vector data load and store functions variants that take pointer arguments which point to the generic address space are also supported.
