NAME

       vload_halfn - Read a half float vector from a pointer to memory.

       floatn vload_halfn(size_t offset, const __global half *p);

       floatn vload_halfn(size_t offset, const __local half *p);

       floatn vload_halfn(size_t offset, const __constant half *p);

       floatn vload_halfn(size_t offset, const __private half *p);

DESCRIPTION

       Read sizeof(halfn) bytes of data from address (p + (offset * n)). The data read is interpreted as a halfn
       value.

       The halfn value read is converted to a floatn value and the floatn value is returned. The read address
       computed as (p + (offset * n)) must be 16-bit aligned.

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.

       When extended by the cl_khr_fp16(3clc) extension, the generic type gentypen is extended to include half,
       half2, half3, half4, half8, and half16.

       vload3 and vload_half3 read x, y, z components from address (p + (offset * 3)) into a 3-component vector.
