Description

The erf function computes the error function values for elements of the input vector a and writes them to the output vector y.

The error function is defined as given by:

Useful relations:

where erfc is the complementary error function.

where

is the cumulative normal distribution function.

where and erf-1(x) are the inverses to and erf(x), respectively.

The following figure illustrates the relationships among erf family functions (erf, erfc, cdfnorm).

erf Family Functions Relationship

Argument	Result	Error Code
+	+1
-	-1
QNAN	QNAN
SNAN	QNAN

Syntax

Buffer API

namespace oneapi::mkl::vm {

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

}

namespace oneapi::mkl::vm {

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

}

erf supports the following precisions and devices:

Input Parameters

Buffer API

exec_queue: The queue where the routine will be executed.
n: Specifies the number of elements to be calculated.
a: The buffer containing the input vector.
sa: Slice selector for a. 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 the 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 will be executed.
n: Specifies the number of elements to be calculated.
a: Pointer to the input vector.
sa: Slice selector for a. 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.
