powr
Computes the element-wise exponentiation of vector a elements raised to the power of vector b elements, where the elements of vector a are all non-negative.
Description
The powr(a,b) function raises each element of vector a by the corresponding element of vector b. The elements of a are all nonnegative (ai≥ 0).

 -  
     
Specifies the number of elements to be calculated.
 - a
 -  
     
The buffer containing the 1st input vector.
 - sa
 -  
     
Slice selector for a. See Data Types for a description of the oneMKL slice type.
 - b
 -  
     
The buffer containing the 2nd input vector.
 - sb
 -  
     
Slice selector for b. See Data Types for a description of the oneMKL slice type.
 - sy
 -
