The two lines above have different indentations, maybe the
"Computes..." line should be starting with a TAB.

Couldn't find the SPIR-V extension, but I guess is work in
progress. Is there a Vulkan extension too?

For the two items above, is it implicit that the result will be
quietized? This matters when using such result with other operation
with a real value, e.g. is "fmin(fmin(x, sNaN), y)" equals to "y" or
to "sNaN"?
The PRM for Skylake says
"Max(x, sNaN) = Max(sNaN, x) = qNaN (quietized value corresponding
to the input sNaN) and signal the Invalid Operation exception."
Thanks,
