IPU C/C++ builtins

The following IPU-specific builtin functions can be used in C/C++ code. For some of these the Tile Vertex Instruction Set Architecture is referenced. Refer to this document for more detailed information on the instructions that are targeted by some of these builtins.

Note

For a lot of these builtins, it is possible to omit the __builtin_ipu prefix by using the corresponding C++ intrinsic. See IPU C++ intrinsics for more information.

Note

Use #include <ipudef.h> for the IPU native types mentioned throughout this section, such half, half2, float2 and more.

For information on non-IPU, generic Clang builtins, refer to the Clang documentation on builtin functions and this comprehensive document for GCC builtins, which Clang also aims to support.

int2 __builtin_ipu_isnan(float2 val)
short4 __builtin_ipu_isnan(half4 val)

Check whether a floating-point value, whether scalar or vector, is not a number (NaN) and return the boolean result value in an integer type of same shape and size as the input parameter. This builtin expands to a sequence of instructions with vector floating-point values handled by vector code.

Note

The function prototypes shown above are the overloaded aliases that can be used by including <ipu_builtins.h>. The pure IPU builtins __builtin_ipu_isnan_f32, __builtin_ipu_isnan_v2f16, __builtin_ipu_isnan_v2f32 and __builtin_ipu_isnan_v4f16 are available without this header.
