Shader Model 6.2

Shader Model 6.2 is a superset of Shader Model 6.1.

The main additions are as follows:

• 16 Bit Scalar Types. As opposed to minfloat16, these values can be used with memory operations (that is, reading and writing via resources or groupshared memory).
• Denorm Mode. This allows a shader to select the behavior with respect to denormal values: preserv them, flush them to zero, or pick the platform's preferred behavior (typically the most performant).
