Description

This extension enables use of the more expressive fast floating-point math flags in the SPV_KHR_float_controls2 extension. These flags give finer- grained control over which optimizations compilers may apply, potentially speeding up execution while retaining correct results.

The extension also adds control over the fast-math modes to the GLSL extended instruction set, making these operations more consistent with SPIR-V and allowing their use in situations where floating-point conformance is important.
