iamax

Finds the index of the element with the largest absolute value in a vector.

iamax supports the following precisions.

T
float
double
std::complex<float>
std:complex<double>

Description

The iamax routines return an index isuch that x[i] has the maximum absolute value of all elements in vector x (real variants), or such that |Re(x[i])| + |Im(x[i])| is maximal (complex variants).

Note

The index is zero-based.

If either n or incx are not positive, the routine returns 0.

If more than one vector element is found with the same largest absolute value, the index of the first one encountered is returned.

If the vector contains NaN values, then the routine returns the index of the first NaN.

iamax (Buffer Version)

Syntax

void onemkl::blas::iamax(sycl::queue &queue, std::int64_t n, sycl::buffer<T, 1> &x, std::int64_t incx, sycl::buffer<std::int64_t, 1> &result)

Input Parameters

queue

The queue where the routine should be executed.

n

The number of elements in vector x.

x

The buffer that holds the input vector x. The buffer must be of size at least (1 + (n - 1)*abs(incx)). See Matrix and Vector Storage for more details.

incx

The stride of vector x.

Output Parameters

result

The buffer where the zero-based index i of the maximal element is stored.

iamax (USM Version)

Syntax

sycl::event onemkl::blas::iamax(sycl::queue &queue, std::int64_t n, const T *x, std::int64_t incx, T_res *result, const sycl::vector_class<sycl::event> &dependencies = {})

Input Parameters

queue

The queue where the routine should be executed.

n

The number of elements in vector x.

x

The pointer to the input vector x. The array holding the input vector x must be of size at least (1 + (n - 1)*abs(incx)). See Matrix and Vector Storage for more details.

incx

The stride of vector x.

dependencies

List of events to wait for before starting computation, if any. If omitted, defaults to no dependencies.

Output Parameters

result

The pointer to where the zero-based index i of the maximal element is stored.

Return Values

Output event to wait on to ensure computation is complete.
