Description

This extension allows a shader to contain floating-point atomic operations on buffer, workgroup, and image memory. It also advertises the SPIR-V code:AtomicFloat32AddEXT and code:AtomicFloat64AddEXT capabilities that allows atomic addition on floating-points numbers. The supported operations include code:OpAtomicFAddEXT, code:OpAtomicExchange, code:OpAtomicLoad and code:OpAtomicStore.
