3.103. __nv_fast_fdividef

Prototype:

float @__nv_fast_fdividef(float %x, float %y)

Description:

Calculate the fast approximate division of x by y.

Returns:

Returns x / y.

__nv_fast_fdividef( $\infty$ , y) returns NaN for $2^{126} < y < 2^{128}$ .
__nv_fast_fdividef(x, y) returns 0 for $2^{126} < y < 2^{128}$ and $x \neq \infty$ .

Note:

For accuracy information for this function see the CUDA C Programming Guide, Appendix D.2, Table 9.
