Overview

Calculates a binary logarithm.

If the result of the operation is positive or negative infinity, NaN may be output.
Use the cmp instruction if you need to distinguish between NaN and positive or negative infinity.

Operation

tmp = src { .x | .y | .z | .w }
dest.x = log2 ( tmp )
dest.y = log2 ( tmp )
dest.z = log2 ( tmp )
dest.w = log2 ( tmp )
