Chapter 5. OpenCL C Built-In Functions

The OpenCL C programming language provides a rich set of built-in functions for scalar and vector argument types. These can be categorized as

• Work-item functions

• Math functions

• Integer functions

• Common functions

• Geometric functions

• Relational functions

• Synchronization functions

• Async copy and prefetch functions

• Vector data load and store functions

• Atomic functions

• Miscellaneous vector functions

• Image functions

Many of these built-in functions are similar to the functions available in common C libraries (such as the functions defined in math.h). The OpenCL C functions support scalar and vector argument types. It is recommended that you use these functions for your applications instead ...
