NAME

       vstore_half - Convert float to half and write to a pointer to memory.

       void vstore_half(float data, size_t offset, __global half *p);

       void vstore_half_rte(float data, size_t offset, __global half *p);

       void vstore_half_rtz(float data, size_t offset, __global half *p);

       void vstore_half_rtp(float data, size_t offset, __global half *p);

       void vstore_half_rtn(float data, size_t offset, __global half *p);

       void vstore_half(float data, size_t offset, __local half *p);

       void vstore_half_rte(float data, size_t offset, __local half *p);

       void vstore_half_rtz(float data, size_t offset, __local half *p);

       void vstore_half_rtp(float data, size_t offset, __local half *p);

       void vstore_half_rtn(float data, size_t offset, __local half *p);

       void vstore_half(float data, size_t offset, __private half *p);

       void vstore_half_rte(float data, size_t offset, __private half *p);

       void vstore_half_rtz(float data, size_t offset, __private half *p);

       void vstore_half_rtp(float data, size_t offset, __private half *p);

       void vstore_half_rtn(float data, size_t offset, __private half *p);

       If the optional double is supported, you may use
       double instead of float.

DESCRIPTION

       The float (or double if optional double is supported) 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.

NOTES

       Vector Data Load and Store Functions allow you to read and write vector types from a
       pointer to memory.

       The generic type gentype is used to indicate the built-in data types char, uchar, short,
       ushort, int, uint, long, ulong, float, or double.

       The generic type name gentypen represents n-element vectors of gentype elements. The
       suffix n is also used in the function names (i.e.  vloadn, vstoren, etc.), 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(3clc), local(3clc), or private(3clc) memory for store functions. The pointer
       argument p can be a pointer to __global, __local, constant(3clc) or __private memory for
       load functions.
