fmodf4_fast

NAME

fmodf4_fast - return approximate remainders from division of float elements

SYNOPSIS

Procedure call syntax:

#include <simdmath.h>

vector float fmodf4_fast(vector float x, vector float y);

Link with -lsimdmath

Inline call syntax:

#include <simdmath.h>

#include <fmodf4.h>

vector float _fmodf4_fast(vector float x, vector float y);

Parameters
x,y	input vectors

DESCRIPTION

The fmodf4 function computes the remainders of dividing x by y. The return values are x - n*y, where n are the quotients of x/y, rounded towards zero.

On the SPU, there are two implementations available:

fmodf4 provides computation on all IEEE floating point values (excluding floating overflow or underflow).
fmodf4_fast provides computation on all floating-point x/y values in the 32-bit signed integer range. Values outside this range get clamped.

RETURN VALUE

The functions fmodf4 and fmodf4_fast return float vectors in which each element is defined as the remainder of x/y for the corresponding elements of x and y.

ENVIRONMENT

fmodf4_fast: SPU only
