DESCRIPTION
The vector versions of the math functions operate component-wise. The description is
per-component.
The built-in math functions are not affected by the prevailing rounding mode in the
calling environment, and always return the same value as they would if called with the
round to nearest even rounding mode.
The built-in math functions take scalar or vector arguments. For any specific use of these
function, the actual type has to be the same for all arguments and the return type unless
otherwise specified.
The generic type name gentype is used to indicate that the function can take float,
float2, float3, float4, float8, float16, double, double2, double3, double4, double8, or
double16 as the type for the arguments.
If extended with cl_khr_fp16(3clc), generic type name gentype may indicate half and
half{2|3|4|8|16} as arguments and return values.
The generic type name gentypef is used to indicate that the function can take float,
float2, float3, float4, float8, or float16 as the type for the arguments.
The generic type name gentyped is used to indicate that the function can take double,
double2, double3, double4, double8, or double16 as the type for the arguments.
The math functions that are defined with the half_ prefix are implemented with a minimum
of 10-bits of accuracy i.e. an ULP value <= 8192 ulp.
The math functions that are defined with the native_ prefix may map to one or more native
device instructions and will typically have better performance compared to the
corresponding functions (without the native_ prefix) described. The accuracy (and in some
cases the input range(s)) of these functions is implementation-defined.
