vec_rsqrt() on IBM Power 9 64-bit - VSX

Purpose: Returns a vector containing a refined approximation of the reciprocal square roots of the corresponding elements of the source vector. This function provides an implementation-dependent greater precision than vec_rsqrte.

Result value: Each element of output contains a refined approximation of the reciprocal square root of the corresponding element of a.

Endian considerations: None.

Notes:

  • The example implementations assume that a register h initially contains the floating-point value 0.5 in each element (single- or double-precision as appropriate).

  • For finite square roots, this intrinsic guarantees at least 23 bits of accuracy for single-precision floating point, and at least 52 bits of accuracy for double-precision floating point.
