sdsdot

Calculate the dot product of two single-precision floating-point vectors with extended accumulation.

The dot product (or scalar product) is defined as

Installation

npm install @stdlib/blas-base-sdsdot

Usage

var sdsdot = require( '@stdlib/blas-base-sdsdot' );

sdsdot( N, scalar, x, strideX, y, strideY )

Calculates the dot product of vectors x and y with extended accumulation.

var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float32' );

var x = new Float32Array( [ 4.0, 2.0, -3.0, 5.0, -1.0 ] );
var y = new Float32Array( [ 2.0, 6.0, -1.0, -4.0, 8.0 ] );

var z = sdsdot( x.length, 0.0, x, 1, y, 1 );
// returns -5.0

The function has the following parameters:

• N: number of indexed elements.
• scalar: scalar constant added to the dot product.
• x: input Float32Array.
• strideX: index increment for x.
• y: input Float32Array.
• strideY: index increment for y.

The N and stride parameters determine which elements in the strided arrays are accessed at runtime. For example, to calculate the dot product of every other value in x and the first N elements of y in reverse order,

var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float32' );

var x = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ] );
var y = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 ] );

var z = sdsdot( 3, 0.0, x, 2, y, -1 );
// returns 9.0

Note that indexing is relative to the first index. To introduce an offset, use typed array views.

var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float32' );

// Initial arrays...
var x0 = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ] );
var y0 = new Float32Array( [ 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 11.0, 12.0 ] );

// Create offset views...
var x1 = new Float32Array( x0.buffer, x0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element
var y1 = new Float32Array( y0.buffer, y0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*3 ); // start at 4th element

var z = sdsdot( 3, 0.0, x1, -2, y1, 1 );
// returns 128.0

sdsdot.ndarray( N, x, strideX, offsetX, y, strideY, offsetY )

Calculates the dot product of vectors x and y with extended accumulation and using alternative indexing semantics.

var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float32' );

var x = new Float32Array( [ 4.0, 2.0, -3.0, 5.0, -1.0 ] );
var y = new Float32Array( [ 2.0, 6.0, -1.0, -4.0, 8.0 ] );

var z = sdsdot.ndarray( x.length, 0.0, x, 1, 0, y, 1, 0 );
// returns -5.0

The function has the following additional parameters:

• offsetX: starting index for x.
• offsetY: starting index for y.

While typed array views mandate a view offset based on the underlying buffer, the offset parameters support indexing semantics based on starting indices. For example, to calculate the dot product of every other value in x starting from the second value with the last 3 elements in y in reverse order

var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float32' );

var x = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ] );
var y = new Float32Array( [ 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 11.0, 12.0 ] );

var z = sdsdot.ndarray( 3, 0.0, x, 2, 1, y, -1, y.length-1 );
// returns 128.0

Notes

• If N <= 0, both functions return scalar.
• sdsdot() corresponds to the BLAS level 1 function sdsdot.

Examples

var discreteUniform = require( '@stdlib/random-array-discrete-uniform' );
var sdsdot = require( '@stdlib/blas-base-sdsdot' );

var opts = {
    'dtype': 'float32'
};
var x = discreteUniform( 10, 0, 100, opts );
console.log( x );

var y = discreteUniform( x.length, 0, 10, opts );
console.log( y );

var out = sdsdot( x.length, 0.0, x, 1, y, -1 );
console.log( out );
