.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
The
\fBfloat\fR\fB\fIn\fR\fR
(or
\fBdouble\fR\fB\fIn\fR\fR
if optional double is supported) value igiven by
\fIdata\fR
is converted to a
\fBhalf\fR\fB\fIn\fR\fR
value using the appropriate rounding mode\&.
.PP
For
\fIn\fR
= 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16, the
\fBhalf\fR\fB\fIn\fR\fR
value is written to the address computed as (\fIp\fR
+ (\fIoffset\fR
*
\fIn\fR))\&. The address computed as (\fIp\fR
+ (\fIoffset\fR
*
\fIn\fR)) must be aligned to sizeof (half\fIn\fR) bytes\&.
.PP
For
\fIn\fR
= 3, the
\fBhalf3\fR
value is written to the address computed as (\fIp\fR
+ (\fIoffset\fR
* 4))\&. The address computed as (\fIp\fR
+ (\fIoffset\fR
* 4)) must be aligned to sizeof (half) * 4 bytes\&.
.PP
\fBvstorea_half\fR\fB\fIn\fR\fR
uses the default rounding mode\&. The default rounding mode is round to the nearest even\&.
.PP
An application that wants to use
\fBhalf\fR
and
\fBhalf\fR\fB\fIn\fR\fR
types will need to include the
#pragma OPENCL EXTENSION \fBcl_khr_fp16\fR(3clc) : enable
directive\&.
.SH "NOTES"
.PP
Vector Data Load and Store Functions allow you to read and write vector types from a pointer to memory\&.
.PP
The generic type
\fBgentype\fR
is used to indicate the built\-in data types
\fBchar\fR,
\fBuchar\fR,
\fBshort\fR,
\fBushort\fR,
\fBint\fR,
\fBuint\fR,
\fBlong\fR,
\fBulong\fR,
\fBfloat\fR, or
\fBdouble\fR\&.
.PP
The generic type name
\fBgentype\fR\fB\fIn\fR\fR
represents
\fIn\fR\-element vectors of
\fBgentype\fR
elements\&. The suffix
\fIn\fR
is also used in the function names (i\&.e\&.
\fBvload\fR\fB\fIn\fR\fR,
\fBvstore\fR\fB\fIn\fR\fR, etc\&.), where
\fIn\fR
= 2, 3, 4, 8, or 16\&.
.PP
The results of vector data load and store functions are undefined if the address being read from or written to is not correctly aligned\&. The pointer argument
\fIp\fR
can be a pointer to
\fBglobal\fR(3clc),
\fBlocal\fR(3clc), or
\fBprivate\fR(3clc)
memory for store functions\&. The pointer argument
\fIp\fR
can be a pointer to __global, __local,
\fBconstant\fR(3clc)
or __private memory for load functions\&.
.PP
\fBvstorea_half3\fR
writes
\fIx\fR,
\fIy\fR,
\fIz\fR
components from a 3\-component vector to address (\fIp\fR
+ (\fIoffset\fR
* 4))\&.
