hsqrt

Applicability

Function Usage

Obtains the square root of the input data x.

Prototype

1

inline half hsqrt(half x)

1

inline bfloat16_t hsqrt(bfloat16_t x)

Parameters

Returns

Square root of the input data.

• If x is 0, the return value is 0.
• If x is inf, the return value is inf.
• If x is -inf, the return value is nan.
• If x is nan, the return value is nan.

Restrictions

The input data x supported by this API must be greater than or equal to 0. Otherwise, the return value is nan.

For SIMT programming, this API is not supported.

Header File to Be Included

To use the half API, the simt_api/asc_fp16.h header file must be included. To use the bfloat16_t API, the simt_api/asc_bf16.h header file must be included.
