Output Parameters

Name

Type

Description

y

float* for vsSin, vmsSin

double* for vdSin, vmdSin

MKL_Complex8* for vcSin, vmcSin

MKL_Complex16* for vzSin, vmzSin

Pointer to an array that contains the output vector y.

Description

The function computes sine of vector elements.

Note that arguments abs(a[i]) ≤ 213 and abs(a[i]) ≤ 216 for single and double precisions respectively are called fast computational path. These are trigonometric function arguments for which VM provides the best possible performance. Avoid arguments that do not belong to the fast computational path in the VM High Accuracy (HA) and Low Accuracy (LA) functions. Alternatively, you can use VM Enhanced Performance (EP) functions that are fast on the entire function domain. However, these functions provide less accuracy.

Special Values for Real Function v?Sin(x)
Argument Result VM Error Status Exception

- QNAN VML_STATUS_ERRDOM INVALID
QNAN QNAN    
SNAN QNAN   INVALID

Specifications for special values of the complex functions are defined according to the following formula

Sin(z) = -i*Sinh(i*z).

Optimization Notice

Intel's compilers may or may not optimize to the same degree for non-Intel microprocessors for optimizations that are not unique to Intel microprocessors. These optimizations include SSE2, SSE3, and SSSE3 instruction sets and other optimizations. Intel does not guarantee the availability, functionality, or effectiveness of any optimization on microprocessors not manufactured by Intel. Microprocessor-dependent optimizations in this product are intended for use with Intel microprocessors. Certain optimizations not specific to Intel microarchitecture are reserved for Intel microprocessors.
