linearfrac¶

Performs linear fraction transformation of vectors a and b with scalar parameters.

Syntax

Buffer API:

namespace oneapi::mkl::vm {

sycl::event linearfrac(
        sycl::queue& exec_queue,
        std::int64_t n,
        sycl::buffer<T,1>& a,
        sycl::buffer<T,1>& b,
        T scalea,
        T shifta,
        T scaleb,
        T shiftb,
        sycl::buffer<T,1>& y,
        oneapi::mkl::vm::mode mode = oneapi::mkl::vm::mode::not_defined,
        oneapi::mkl::vm::error_handler<T> errhandler = {});

} // namespace oneapi::mkl::vm

USM API:

namespace oneapi::mkl::vm {

sycl::event linearfrac(
        sycl::queue& exec_queue,
        std::int64_t n,
        const T *a,
        const T *b,
        T scalea,
        T shifta,
        T scaleb,
        T shiftb,
        T* y,
        std::vector<sycl::event> const & depends = {},
        oneapi::mkl::vm::mode mode = oneapi::mkl::vm::mode::not_defined,
        oneapi::mkl::vm::error_handler<T> errhandler = {});

} // namespace oneapi::mkl::vm

linearfrac supports the following precisions.

T
`float`
`double`

Description

The linearfrac(a, b, scalea, shifta, scaleb, shiftb) function performs a linear fraction transformation of vector a by vector b with scalar parameters: scaling multipliers scalea, scaleb and shifting addends shifta, shiftb:

y[i]=(scalea·a[i]+shifta)/(scaleb·b[i]+shiftb), i=1,2 … n

The linearfrac function is implemented in the EP accuracy mode only, therefore no special values are defined for this function. If used in HA or LA mode, linearfrac sets the VM status code to oneapi::mkl::vm::status::accuracy_warning. Correctness is guaranteed within the threshold limitations defined for each input parameter (see the table below); otherwise, the behavior is unspecified.

Threshold Limitations on Input Parameters
`2EMIN/2≤ \|scalea\| ≤ 2(EMAX-2)/2`
`2EMIN/2≤ \|scaleb\| ≤ 2(EMAX-2)/2`
`\|shifta\| ≤ 2EMAX-2`
`\|shiftb\| ≤ 2EMAX-2`
`2EMIN/2≤a[i] ≤ 2(EMAX-2)/2`
`2EMIN/2≤b[i] ≤ 2(EMAX-2)/2`
`a[i] ≠ - (shifta/scalea)*(1-δ1), \|δ1\| ≤ 21-(p-1)/2`
`b[i] ≠ - (shiftb/scaleb)*(1-δ2), \|δ2\| ≤ 21-(p-1)/2`

EMINand EMAX are the minimum and maximum exponents and p is the number of significant bits (precision) for the corresponding data type according to the ANSI/IEEE Standard 754-2008 ([Bibliography]):

for single precisionEMIN = -126, EMAX = 127, p = 24
for double precisionEMIN = -1022, EMAX = 1023, p =
53

The thresholds become less strict for common cases with scalea=0 and/or scaleb=0:

ifscalea=0, there are no limitations for the values of a[i]
and shifta.
ifscaleb=0, there are no limitations for the values of b[i]
and shiftb.
