ATOMICMIN(3G)                   [FIXME: manual]                  ATOMICMIN(3G)

NAME
       atomicMin - perform an atomic min operation to a variable

DECLARATION
       int atomicMin(inout int mem, int data);

       uint atomicMin(inout uint mem, uint data);

PARAMETERS
       mem
           The variable to use as the target of the operation.

       data
           The data to be compared to mem.

DESCRIPTION
       atomicMin performs an atomic comparison of data to the contents of mem,
       writes the minimum value into mem and returns the original contents of
       mem from before the comparison occurred. The contents of the memory
       being updated by the atomic operation are guaranteed not to be modified
       by any other assignment or atomic memory function in any shader
       invocation between the time the original value is read and the time the
       new value is written.

       Atomic memory functions are supported only for a limited set of
       variables. A shader will fail to compile if the value passed to the mem
       argument of an atomic memory function does not correspond to a buffer
       or shared variable. It is acceptable to pass an element of an array or
       a single component of a vector to the mem argument of an atomic memory
       function, as long as the underlying array or vector is a buffer or
       shared variable.
