fimf-precision, Qimf-precision

Lets you specify a level of accuracy (precision) that the compiler should use when determining which math library functions to use.

Syntax

Linux:

-fimf-precision[=value[:funclist]]

macOS:

-fimf-precision[=value[:funclist]]

Windows:

/Qimf-precision[:value[:funclist]]

Arguments

value

Is one of the following values denoting the desired accuracy:

high

This is equivalent to max-error = 1.0.

medium

This is equivalent to max-error = 4; this is the default setting if the option is specified and value is omitted.

low

This is equivalent to accuracy-bits = 11 for single-precision functions; accuracy-bits = 26 for double-precision functions.

In the above explanations, max-error means option -fimf-max-error (Linux* and macOS) or /Qimf-max-error (Windows*); accuracy-bits means option -fimf-accuracy-bits (Linux* and macOS) or /Qimf-accuracy-bits (Windows*).

funclist

Is an optional list of one or more math library functions to which the attribute should be applied. If you specify more than one function, they must be separated with commas.

Precision-specific variants like sin and sinf are considered different functions, so you would need to use -fimf-precision=high:sin,sinf (or /Qimf-precision:high:sin,sinf) to specify high precision for both the single-precision and double-precision sine functions.

You also can specify the symbol /f to denote single-precision divides, symbol / to denote double-precision divides, symbol /l to denote extended-precision divides, and symbol /q to denote quad-precision divides. For example you can specify -fimf-precision=low:/ or /Qimf-precision:low:/ and -fimf-precision=low:/f or /Qimf-precision:low:/f.

Default

medium

The compiler uses medium precision when calling math library functions. Note that other options can affect precision; see below for details.

Description

This option lets you specify a level of accuracy (precision) that the compiler should use when determining which math library functions to use.

This option can be used to improve run-time performance if reduced accuracy is sufficient for the application, or it can be used to increase the accuracy of math library functions selected by the compiler.

In general, using a lower precision can improve run-time performance and using a higher precision may reduce run-time performance.

If you need to define the accuracy for a math function of a certain precision, specify the function name of the precision that you need. For example, if you want double precision, you can specify :sin; if you want single precision, you can specify :sinf, as in -fimf-precision=low:sin or /Qimf-precision:low:sin, or -fimf-precision=high:sqrtf or /Qimf-precision:high:sqrtf.

If you do not specify any function names, then the setting applies to all functions (and to all precisions). However, as soon as you specify an individual function name, the setting applies only to the function of corresponding precision. So, for example, sinf applies only to the single-precision sine function, sin applies only to the double-precision sine function, sinl applies only to the extended-precision sine function, etc.

There are three options you can use to express the maximum relative error. They are as follows:

  • -fimf-precision (Linux* and macOS) or /Qimf-precision (Windows*)

  • -fimf-max-error (Linux* and macOS) or /Qimf-max-error (Windows*)

  • -fimf-accuracy-bits (Linux and macOS) or /Qimf-accuracy-bits (Windows)

If more than one of these options are specified, the default value for the maximum relative error is determined by the last one specified on the command line.

If none of the above options are specified, the default values for the maximum relative error are determined by the setting of the following options:

  • [Q]fast-transcendentals

  • [Q]prec-div

  • [Q]prec-sqrt

  • -fp-model (Linux and macOS) or /fp (Windows)

NOTE:

Many routines in libraries LIBM (Math Library) and SVML (Short Vector Math Library) are more highly optimized for Intel® microprocessors than for non-Intel microprocessors.
