log (sm4 - asm)

  • Article

Component-wise log base 2.

log[_sat] dest[.mask], [-]src0[_abs][.swizzle]
Item Description
dest
 [in] The address of the result of the operation.
dest = log2(src0)
src0
 [in] The value for the operation.

Remarks

Restrictions

  • Follows limit theory.
  • Error tolerance: If src0 is [0.5..2], absolue error must be no more than 2-21. If src0 is (0..0.5) or (2..+INF], relative error must be no more than 2-21.

The following table shows the results obtained when executing the instruction with various classes of numbers, assuming that neither overflow or underflow occurs. F means finite-real number.

src -inf -F -denorm -0 +0 +denorm +F +inf NaN
dest NaN NaN -inf -inf -inf -inf F +inf NaN
