fmax

Computes the element-wise maximum of each pair of vector a elements and vector b elements.

Description
API
Examples

Description

The fmax(a,b) function returns a vector with element values equal to the larger value from each pair of corresponding elements of the two vectors a and b: if a < b fmax(a,b) returns b, otherwise fmax(a,b) returns a.

Argument 1	Argument 2	Result
`a` not NAN	NAN	`a`
NAN	`b` not NAN	`b`
NAN	NAN	NAN

The fmax(a,b) function does not generate any errors.

API

Syntax

Buffer API

namespace oneapi::mkl::vm {

sycl::event fmax(sycl::queue & exec_queue,
      std::int64_t n,
      sycl::buffer<T> & a,
      sycl::buffer<T> & b,
      sycl::buffer<T> & y,
      oneapi::mkl::vm::mode mode = oneapi::mkl::vm::mode::not_defined);

}

namespace oneapi::mkl::vm {

sycl::event fmax(sycl::queue & exec_queue,
      sycl::buffer<T> & a,
      oneapi::mkl::slice sa,
      sycl::buffer<T> & b,
      oneapi::mkl::slice sb,
      sycl::buffer<T> & y,
      oneapi::mkl::slice sy,
      oneapi::mkl::vm::mode mode = oneapi::mkl::vm::mode::not_defined);

}

USM API

namespace oneapi::mkl::vm {

sycl::event fmax(sycl::queue & exec_queue,
      std::int64_t n,
      T const * a,
      T const * b,
      T * y,
      std::vector<sycl::event> const & depends = {},
      oneapi::mkl::vm::mode mode = oneapi::mkl::vm::mode::not_defined);

}

namespace oneapi::mkl::vm {

sycl::event fmax(sycl::queue & exec_queue,
      T const * a,
      oneapi::mkl::slice sa,
      T const * b,
      oneapi::mkl::slice sb,
      T * y,
      oneapi::mkl::slice sy,
      std::vector<sycl::event> const & depends = {},
      oneapi::mkl::vm::mode mode = oneapi::mkl::vm::mode::not_defined);

Input Parameters

Buffer API

exec_queue: The queue where the routine should be executed.
n: Specifies the number of elements to be calculated.
a: The buffer containing the 1st input vector.
sa: Slice selector for a. See Data Types for a description of the oneMKL slice type.
b: The buffer containing the 2nd input vector.
sb: Slice selector for b. See Data Types for a description of the oneMKL slice type.
sy: Slice selector for y. See Data Types for a description of the oneMKL slice type.
mode: Overrides the global VM mode setting for this function call. See set_mode function for possible values and their description. This is an optional parameter. The default value is mode::not_defined.

USM API

exec_queue: The queue where the routine should be executed.
n: Specifies the number of elements to be calculated.
a: Pointer to the 1st input vector.
sa: Slice selector for a. See Data Types for a description of the oneMKL slice type.
b: Pointer to the 2nd input vector.
sb: Slice selector for b. See Data Types for a description of the oneMKL slice type.
sy: Slice selector for y. See Data Types for a description of the oneMKL slice type.
depends: Vector of dependent events (to wait for input data to be ready). This is an optional parameter. The default is an empty vector.
mode: Overrides the global VM mode setting for this function call. See the set_mode function for possible values and their description. This is an optional parameter. The default value is mode::not_defined.

Output Parameters

Buffer API

y: The buffer containing the output vector.
return value (event): Computation end event.

USM API

y: Pointer to the output vector.
return value (event): Computation end event.
