Largest atomic size: floating-point

Description

Specify the largest floating-point data type that can be atomically loaded and stored on the hardware that you use to test code.

Category: Hardware Implementation

Settings

Default: Float

Float: Specifies that float is the largest floating-point data type that can be atomically loaded and stored on the hardware that you use to test code.
Double: Specifies that double is the largest floating-point data type that can be atomically loaded and stored on the hardware that you use to test code.
None: Specifies that there is no applicable setting or not to use this parameter in generating multirate code.

Tip

Use this parameter, where possible, to remove unnecessary double-buffering or unnecessary semaphore protection, based on data size, in generated multirate code.

Dependencies

Selecting a device by using the Device vendor and Device type parameters sets a device-specific value for this parameter.
This parameter is enabled only if you can modify it for the selected hardware.
