Returns

Restrictions

For SIMT programming, this API is not supported.

Header Files to Be Included

To use this API, the simt_api/asc_fp16.h header file must be included.

#include "simt_api/asc_fp16.h"

Examples

For SIMD and SIMT programming:

// Use small vectors to improve data movement efficiency.
__simt_vf__ __launch_bounds__(1024) inline void simt_high2half2(__gm__ half2* input, __gm__ half2* output, uint32_t input_total_length)
{
    uint32_t idx = blockIdx.x * blockDim.x + threadIdx.x;
// Each thread processes one piece of half2 data, that is, two pieces of half data. Therefore, threads with idx greater than or equal to input_total_length/2 do not process data.
    if (idx > input_total_length / 2) {
        return;
    }
    output[idx] = __high2half2(input[idx]);
}
__global__ __vector__ void cast_kernel(__gm__ half* input, __gm__ half* output, uint32_t input_total_length)
{
    asc_vf_call<simt_high2half2>(dim3(1024),  (__gm__ half2*)input, (__gm__ half2*)output, input_total_length);
}
