NAME
fma - perform a fused multiply-add operation
DECLARATION
genType fma(genType a, genType b, genType c);
genDType fma(genDType a, genDType b, genDType c);
PARAMETERS
a
Specifies the first multiplicand.
b
Specifies the second multiplicand.
c
Specifies the value to be added to the result.
DESCRIPTION
fma performs, where possible, a fused multiply-add operation, returning a * b + c. In use cases where the
return value is eventually consumed by a variable declared as precise:
• fma() is considered a single operation, whereas the expression a * b + c consumed by a variable
declared as precise is considered two operations.
• The precision of fma() can differ from the precision of the expression a * b + c.
• fma() will be computed with the same precision as any other fma() consumed by a precise variable,
giving invariant results for the same input values of a, b and c.
Otherwise, in the absense of precise consumption, there are no special constraints on the number of
operations or difference in precision between fma() and the expression a * b + c.
