Precision Overflow Thresholds for Real v?Pow Function
Data Type Threshold Limitations on Input Parameters
single precision abs(a[i]) < ( FLT_MAX )1/b[i]
double precision abs(a[i]) < ( DBL_MAX )1/b[i]

Precision overflow thresholds for the complex v?Pow function are beyond the scope of this document.

Output Parameters

Name

Type

Description

y

DOUBLE PRECISION for vdpow, vmdpow

COMPLEX for vcpow, vmcpow

DOUBLE COMPLEX for vzpow, vmzpow

REAL, INTENT(OUT) for vspow, vmspow

DOUBLE PRECISION, INTENT(OUT) for vdpow, vmdpow

COMPLEX, INTENT(OUT) for vcpow, vmcpow

DOUBLE COMPLEX, INTENT(OUT) for vzpow, vmzpow

Array that specifies the output vector y.

Description

The v?Pow function computes a to the power b for elements of two vectors.

The real function v(s/d)Pow has certain limitations on the input range of a and b parameters. Specifically, if a[i] is positive, then b[i] may be arbitrary. For negative a[i], the value of b[i] must be an integer (either positive or negative).

The complex function v(c/z)Pow has no input range limitations.

The complex double precision versions of this function, vzPow and vmzPow, are implemented in the EP accuracy mode only. If used in HA or LA mode, vzPow and vmzPow set the VM Error Status to VML_STATUS_ACCURACYWARNING (see the Values of the VM Status table).

* Overflow in a real function is supported only in the HA/LA accuracy modes. The overflow occurs when x and y are finite numbers, but the result is too large to fit the target precision. In this case, the function:

  1. Returns in the result.

  2. Raises the OVERFLOW exception.

  3. Sets the VM Error Status to VML_STATUS_OVERFLOW.

Overflow in a complex function occurs (supported in the HA/LA accuracy modes only) when all RE(x), RE(y), IM(x), IM(y) arguments are finite numbers, but the real or imaginary part of the computed result is so large that it does not fit the target precision. In this case, the function returns in that part of the result, raises the OVERFLOW exception, and sets the VM Error Status to VML_STATUS_OVERFLOW (overriding any possible VML_STATUS_ACCURACYWARNING status).
