Intel's valarray Implementation
The Intel® oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler provides a high performance implementation of specialized one-dimensional valarray operations for the C++ standard STL valarray container.
The standard C++ valarray template consists of array/vector operations for high performance computing. These operations are designed to exploit high performance hardware features such as parallelism and achieve performance benefits.
Intel's valarray implementation uses the Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives (Intel® IPP), which is part of the product. Select Intel® IPP when you install the product.
The valarray implementation consists of a replacement header, <valarray>, that provides a specialized, high-performance implementation for the following operators and types:
Operator |
Type |
---|---|
abs, acos, acosh, asin, asinh, atan, atan2, atanh, cbrt, cdfnorm, ceil, cos, cosh, erf, erfc, erfinv, exp, expm1, floor, hypot, inv, invcbrt, invsqrt, ln, log, log10, log1p, nearbyint, pow, pow2o3, pow3o2, powx, rint, round, sin, sinh, sqrt, tan, tanh, trunk |
float, double |
add, conj, div, mul, mulbyconj, mul, sub |
Ipp32fc, Ipp64fc |
addition, subtraction, division, multiplication |
float, double |
bitwise or, and, xor |
(all unsigned) char, short, int |
min, max, sum |
signed or short/signed int, float, double |
Use valarray in Source Code
valarray is not available for SYCL.
Intel's valarray implementation allows you to declare large arrays for parallel processing. Improved implementation of valarray is tied up with calling the Intel® IPP libraries that are part of Intel® IPP.
To use valarrays in your source code, include the valarray header file, <valarray>. The <valarray> header file is located in the path <installdir>/perf_header.
The following example shows a valarray addition operation (+) specialized through use of Intel's implementation of valarray:
#include <valarray>
void test( )
{
std::valarray<float> vi(N), va(N);
…
vi = vi + va; //array addition
…
}
To use the static merged library containing all CPU-specific optimized versions of the library code, you need to call the ippStaticInit function first, before any Intel® IPP calls. This ensures automatic dispatch to the appropriate version of the library code for Intel® processor and the generic version of the library code for non-Intel processors at runtime. If you do not call ippStaticInit first, the merged library will use the generic instance of the code. If you are using the dynamic version of the libraries, you do not need to call ippStaticInit.
