hipRAND precision support

The data type support in hipRAND is similar to NVIDIA CUDA cuRAND. On AMD hardware, the backend is provided by rocRAND. To see the data type comparison between rocRAND and cuRAND, see rocRAND data type support.

This page lists the data types supported by the library itself and does not indicate hardware support. A type listed here is only usable if the GPU architecture also supports it; otherwise it is unsupported. For data type support across the other ROCm libraries and by GPU architecture, see the Data types and precision support page.

Output type support

As a random number generation library, hipRAND specifies only the output data types for the random values it generates; it has no input data types. The following table lists the output data types supported by hipRAND.

Data type	Support
int8	Output only
int16	Output only
int32	Output only
int64	Output only
float16	Output only
float32	Output only
float64	Output only
