fmax¶

Returns the larger of each pair of elements of the two vector arguments.

Syntax

Buffer API:

void fmax(queue &exec_queue, int64_t n, buffer<T, 1> &a, buffer<T, 1> &b, buffer<T, 1> &y, uint64_t mode = mode::not_defined)¶

USM API:

event fmax(queue &exec_queue, int64_t n, T *a, T *b, T *y, vector_class<event> *depends, uint64_t mode = mode::not_defined)¶

fmax supports the following precisions.

T
`float`
`double`

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 < bfmax(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.

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 a containing 1st input vector of size n.
b: The buffer b containing 2nd input vector of size n.
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 a to the 1st input vector of size n.
b: Pointer b to the 2nd input vector of size n.
depends: Vector of dependent events (to wait for input data to be ready).
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 y containing the output vector of size n.

USM API:

y: Pointer y to the output vector of size n.
return value (event): Function end event.
