        <p>Functions with the <code class="constant">half_</code> prefix are implemented with a minimum of 10-bits of accuracy i.e. an ULP value less than or equal to 8192 ulp.
		</p>
        <p>Functions with the native_ prefix may map to one or more native device instructions and will typically have better performance compared to the corresponding functions (without the <code class="constant">native__</code> prefix). The accuracy (and in some cases the input range(s)) of these
functions is implementation-defined.
		</p>
        <p>
		The vector versions of the math functions operate component-wise. The description is per-component.
		</p>
        <p>
		The built-in math functions are not affected by the prevailing rounding mode in the calling
environment, and always return the same value as they would if called with the round to nearest
even rounding mode.
		</p>
        <p>
		This built-in math function takes scalar or vector arguments. The generic type name <span class="type">gentype</span> is used to indicate that the function can take <span class="type">float</span>, <span class="type">float2</span>, <span class="type">float4</span>, <span class="type">float8</span>, or <span class="type">float16</span> as the type for the arguments. For any specific
use of these function, the actual type has to be the same for all arguments and the return type.
