nextafter

nextafter#

Returns vector of elements containing the next representable floating-point values following the values from the elements of one vector in the direction of the corresponding elements of another vector.

Syntax

Buffer API:

namespace oneapi::mkl::vm {

sycl::event nextafter(
        sycl::queue& exec_queue,
        std::int64_t n,
        sycl::buffer<T,1>& a,
        sycl::buffer<T,1>& b,
        sycl::buffer<T,1>& y,
        oneapi::mkl::vm::mode mode = oneapi::mkl::vm::mode::not_defined,
        oneapi::mkl::vm::error_handler<T> errhandler = {});

} // namespace oneapi::mkl::vm

USM API:

namespace oneapi::mkl::vm {

sycl::event nextafter(
        sycl::queue& exec_queue,
        std::int64_t n,
        const T *a,
        const T *b,
        T* y,
        std::vector<sycl::event> const & depends = {},
        oneapi::mkl::vm::mode mode = oneapi::mkl::vm::mode::not_defined,
        oneapi::mkl::vm::error_handler<T> errhandler = {});

} // namespace oneapi::mkl::vm

nextafter supports the following precisions.

T
`float`
`double`

Description

The nextafter(a, b) function returns a vector containing the next representable floating-point values following the first vector argument elements in the direction of the second vector argument’s corresponding elements.

Arguments/Results	Status code
Input vector argument element is finite and the corresponding result vector element value is infinite	`oneapi::mkl::vm::status::overflow`
Result vector element value is subnormal or zero, and different from the corresponding input vector argument element	`oneapi::mkl::vm::status::underflow`

Even though underflow or overflow can occur, the returned value is independent of the current rounding direction mode.

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 oneapi::mkl::vm::mode::not_defined.
errhandler: Sets local error handling mode for this function call. See the create_error_handler function for arguments and their descriptions. This is an optional parameter. The local error handler is disabled by default.

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 oneapi::mkl::vm::mode::not_defined.
errhandler: Sets local error handling mode for this function call. See the create_error_handler function for arguments and their descriptions. This is an optional parameter. The local error handler is disabled by default.

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): Event, signifying availability of computed output and status code(s).
