floating-point computation capability

Hi there, I've read the OpenCL v1.0 specification and Altera's OpenCL programming guide. I just want to make it clear that: Altera OpenCL supports for single precision floating point computa...

Support for double precision is limited but this is independent of scalar versus vector support. The double precision floating point operators and math functions are not fully conformant with the 1.0 OpenCL spec but you can still use them.

So, do we currently support for double precision floating point format in vector operations? Since the programming guide doesn't specifically point out AOC supports it or not.. (or perhaps I overlooked the spot) so I got confused a little bit.

thank u.
