Restrictions

For SIMT programming, this API is not supported.

Header File to Be Included

To use this API, the simt_api/asc_bf16.h header file must be included.

#include "simt_api/asc_bf16.h"

Examples

For SIMD and SIMT programming:

__simt_vf__ __launch_bounds__(1024) inline void kernel__bfloat162bfloat16_rd(__gm__ bfloat16_t * dst, __gm__ bfloat16_t* x)
{
    int idx = threadIdx.x + blockIdx.x * blockDim.x;
    dst[idx] = __bfloat162bfloat16_rd(x[idx]);
}
