| <para> |
| Built-in geometric functions operate component-wise. The description |
| is per-component. <type>float<replaceable>n</replaceable></type> is |
| <type>float</type>, <type>float2</type>, <type>float3</type>, or <type>float4</type> and |
| <type>double<replaceable>n</replaceable></type> is <type>double</type>, <type>double2</type>, |
| <type>double3</type>, or <type>double4</type>. The built-in geometric functions are |
| implemented using the round to nearest even rounding mode. |
| </para> |

| <para> |
| The geometric functions can be implemented using contractions such |
| as <citerefentry><refentrytitle>mad</refentrytitle></citerefentry> or |
| <citerefentry><refentrytitle>fma</refentrytitle></citerefentry>. |
