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

abs(a) = hypot(RE(a),IM(a)).

The abs function does not generate any errors.

Syntax#

Buffer API

namespace oneapi::mkl::vm {

sycl::event abs(sycl::queue & exec_queue,
      std::int64_t n,
      sycl::buffer<T> & a,
      sycl::buffer<T> & y,
      oneapi::mkl::vm::mode mode = oneapi::mkl::vm::mode::not_defined);

}
namespace oneapi::mkl::vm {

sycl::event abs(sycl::queue & exec_queue,
      sycl::buffer<T> & a,
      oneapi::mkl::slice sa,
      sycl::buffer<T> & y,
      oneapi::mkl::slice sy,
      oneapi::mkl::vm::mode mode = oneapi::mkl::vm::mode::not_defined);

}

USM API

namespace oneapi::mkl::vm {

sycl::event abs(sycl::queue & exec_queue,
      std::int64_t n,
      T const * a,
      T * y,
      std::vector<sycl::event> const & depends = {},

Input Parameters#

Buffer API

exec_queue

The queue where the routine will be executed.

n

Specifies the number of elements to be calculated.

a

The buffer containing input vector.

sa

Slice selector for a. See Data Types for a description of the oneMKL slice type.

sy

Slice selector for y. See Data Types for a description of the oneMKL slice type.

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 will be executed.

n

Specifies the number of elements to be calculated.

a

Pointer to the input vector.

sa

Slice selector for a. See Data Types for a description of the oneMKL slice type.

sy

Slice selector for y. See Data Types for a description of the oneMKL slice type.

depends

Vector of dependent events (to wait for input data to be ready). This is an optional parameter. The default is an empty vector.

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 containing the output vector.

return value (event)

Computation end event.

USM API

y

Pointer to the output vector.

return value (event)

Computation end event.
