__hmin

Applicability

Function Usage

Obtains the minimum value between two inputs.

Prototype

1

inline half __hmin(half x, half y)

1

inline bfloat16_t __hmin(bfloat16_t x, bfloat16_t y)

Parameters

Returns

Minimum value of the two input data elements.

• If x is -0 and y is +0, the return value is x.
• If x is +0 and y is -0, the return value is y.
• If x is nan, the return value is y.
• If y is nan, the return value is x.
• If both x and y are nan, the return value is nan.
• If either x or y is -inf, the return value is -inf.
• If x is inf, the return value is y.
• If y is inf, the return value is x.

Restrictions

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.
