RenderScript Mathematical Constants and Functions

Overview

The mathematical functions below can be applied to scalars and vectors. When applied to vectors, the returned value is a vector of the function applied to each entry of the input.

For example:float3 a, b; // The following call sets // a.x to sin(b.x), // a.y to sin(b.y), and // a.z to sin(b.z). a = sin(b);

See Vector Math Functions for functions like distance() and length() that interpret instead the input as a single vector in n-dimensional space.

The precision of the mathematical operations on 32 bit floats is affected by the pragmas rs_fp_relaxed and rs_fp_full. Under rs_fp_relaxed, subnormal values may be flushed to zero and rounding may be done towards zero. In comparison, rs_fp_full requires correct handling of subnormal values, i.e. smaller than 1.17549435e-38f. rs_fp_rull also requires round to nearest with ties to even.

Different precision/speed tradeoffs can be achieved by using variants of the common math functions. Functions with a name starting with

native_: May have custom hardware implementations with weaker precision. Additionally, subnormal values may be flushed to zero, rounding towards zero may be used, and NaN and infinity input may not be handled correctly.
half_: May perform internal computations using 16 bit floats. Additionally, subnormal values may be flushed to zero, and rounding towards zero may be used.

Parameters

value	Value to be clamped.
min_value	Lower bound, a scalar or matching vector.
max_value	High bound, must match the type of low.

Clamps a value to a specified high and low bound. clamp() returns min_value if value < min_value, max_value if value > max_value, otherwise value.

There are two variants of clamp: one where the min and max are scalars applied to all entries of the value, the other where the min and max are also vectors.

half4 pown(half4 base, int4 exponent);	Added in API level 24

Returns base raised to the power exponent, i.e. base ^ exponent.

pow() and powr() are similar. The both take a float exponent. powr() also assumes the base to be non-negative.

powr : Positive base raised to an exponent

float powr(float base, float exponent);
float2 powr(float2 base, float2 exponent);
float3 powr(float3 base, float3 exponent);

half3 powr(half3 base, half3 exponent);	Added in API level 24
half4 powr(half4 base, half4 exponent);	Added in API level 24

Returns base raised to the power exponent, i.e. base ^ exponent. base must be >= 0.

pow() and pown() are similar. They both make no assumptions about the base. pow() takes a float exponent while pown() take an integer.

Returns the remainder of (numerator / denominator), where the quotient is rounded towards the nearest integer.

The function fmod() is similar but rounds toward the closest integer. For example, fmod(-3.8f, 2.f) returns -1.8f (-3.8f - -1.f * 2.f) while remainder(-3.8f, 2.f) returns 0.2f (-3.8f - -2.f * 2.f).

Parameters

numerator	Numerator.
denominator	Denominator.
quotient	*quotient will be set to the integer quotient.

Returns

Remainder, precise only for the low three bits.

Returns the quotient and the remainder of (numerator / denominator).

Only the sign and lowest three bits of the quotient are guaranteed to be accurate.

This function is useful for implementing periodic functions. The low three bits of the quotient gives the quadrant and the remainder the distance within the quadrant. For example, an implementation of sin(x) could call remquo(x, PI / 2.f, &quadrant) to reduce very large value of x to something within a limited range.

Example: remquo(-23.5f, 8.f, &quot) sets the lowest three bits of quot to 3 and the sign negative. It returns 0.5f.
