sapxsumpw

Add a constant to each single-precision floating-point strided array element and compute the sum using pairwise summation.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/blas-ext-base-sapxsumpw

Usage

var sapxsumpw = require( '@stdlib/blas-ext-base-sapxsumpw' );

sapxsumpw( N, alpha, x, stride )

Adds a constant to each single-precision floating-point strided array element and computes the sum using pairwise summation.

var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float32' );

var x = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, -2.0, 2.0 ] );
var N = x.length;

var v = sapxsumpw( N, 5.0, x, 1 );
// returns 16.0

The function has the following parameters:

• N: number of indexed elements.
• x: input Float32Array.
• stride: index increment for x.

The N and stride parameters determine which elements in the strided array are accessed at runtime. For example, to access every other element in x,

var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float32' );

var x = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 2.0, -7.0, -2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 2.0 ] );

var v = sapxsumpw( 4, 5.0, x, 2 );
// returns 25.0

Note that indexing is relative to the first index. To introduce an offset, use typed array views.

var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float32' );

var x0 = new Float32Array( [ 2.0, 1.0, 2.0, -2.0, -2.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ] );
var x1 = new Float32Array( x0.buffer, x0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element

var v = sapxsumpw( 4, 5.0, x1, 2 );
// returns 25.0

sapxsumpw.ndarray( N, alpha, x, stride, offset )

Adds a constant to each single-precision floating-point strided array element and computes the sum using pairwise summation and alternative indexing semantics.

var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float32' );

var x = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, -2.0, 2.0 ] );
var N = x.length;

var v = sapxsumpw.ndarray( N, 5.0, x, 1, 0 );
// returns 16.0

The function has the following additional parameters:

• offset: starting index for x.

While typed array views mandate a view offset based on the underlying buffer, the offset parameter supports indexing semantics based on a starting index. For example, to access every other value in x starting from the second value

var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float32' );

var x = new Float32Array( [ 2.0, 1.0, 2.0, -2.0, -2.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ] );

var v = sapxsumpw.ndarray( 4, 5.0, x, 2, 1 );
// returns 25.0

Notes

• If N <= 0, both functions return 0.0.

Examples

var discreteUniform = require( '@stdlib/random-base-discrete-uniform' ).factory;
var filledarrayBy = require( '@stdlib/array-filled-by' );
var sapxsumpw = require( '@stdlib/blas-ext-base-sapxsumpw' );

var x = filledarrayBy( 10, 'float32', discreteUniform( 0, 100 ) );

console.log( x );

var v = sapxsumpw( x.length, 5.0, x, 1 );
console.log( v );
