Description

y

_Float16* for vhPowr

float* for vsPowr

_Float16* for vmhPowr

float* for vmsPowr

double* for vdPowr

double* for vmdPowr

Pointer to an array containing the output vector y.

Description

The v?Powr function raises each element of vector a by the corresponding element of vector b. The elements of a are all nonnegative (a_i≥ 0).
