dcopy
Copy values from
x
intoy
.
Usage
var dcopy = require( '@stdlib/blas/base/dcopy-wasm' );
dcopy.main( N, x, strideX, y, strideY )
Copies values from x
into y
.
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float64' );
var x = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 ] );
var y = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 ] );
dcopy.main( x.length, x, 1, y, 1 );
// y => <Float64Array>[ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 ]
The function has the following parameters:
- N: number of indexed elements.
- x: input
Float64Array
. - strideX: index increment for
x
. - y: input
Float64Array
. - strideY: index increment for
y
.
The N
and stride parameters determine which elements in the strided arrays are accessed at runtime. For example, to copy every other element from x
into y
in reverse order,
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float64' );
var x = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ] );
var y = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 ] );
dcopy.main( 3, x, 2, y, -1 );
// y => <Float64Array>[ 5.0, 3.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 ]
Note that indexing is relative to the first index. To introduce an offset, use typed array
views.
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float64' );
// Initial arrays...
var x0 = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ] );
var y0 = new Float64Array( [ 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 11.0, 12.0 ] );
// Create offset views...
var x1 = new Float64Array( x0.buffer, x0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element
var y1 = new Float64Array( y0.buffer, y0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*3 ); // start at 4th element
dcopy.main( 3, x1, -2, y1, 1 );
// y0 => <Float64Array>[ 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 6.0, 4.0, 2.0 ]
dcopy.ndarray( N, x, strideX, offsetX, y, strideY, offsetY )
Copies values from x
into y
using alternative indexing semantics.
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float64' );
var x = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 ] );
var y = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 ] );
dcopy.ndarray( x.length, x, 1, 0, y, 1, 0 );
// y => <Float64Array>[ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 ]
The function has the following additional parameters:
- offsetX: starting index for
x
. - offsetY: starting index for
y
.
While typed array
views mandate a view offset based on the underlying buffer, the offset parameters support indexing semantics based on starting indices. For example, to copy every other value in x
starting from the second value into the last N
elements in y
where x[i] = y[n]
, x[i+2] = y[n-1]
,...,
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float64' );
var x = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ] );
var y = new Float64Array( [ 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 11.0, 12.0 ] );
dcopy.ndarray( 3, x, 2, 1, y, -1, y.length-1 );
// y => <Float64Array>[ 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 6.0, 4.0, 2.0 ]
Module
dcopy.Module( memory )
Returns a new WebAssembly module wrapper instance which uses the provided WebAssembly memory instance as its underlying memory.
var Memory = require( '@stdlib/wasm/memory' );
// Create a new memory instance with an initial size of 10 pages (640KiB) and a maximum size of 100 pages (6.4MiB):
var mem = new Memory({
'initial': 10,
'maximum': 100
});
// Create a BLAS routine:
var mod = new dcopy.Module( mem );
// returns <Module>
// Initialize the routine:
mod.initializeSync();
dcopy.Module.prototype.main( N, xp, sx, yp, sy )
Copies values from x

});
// Create a BLAS routine:
var mod = new dcopy.Module( mem );

mod.write( yptr, ones( N, dtype ) );

Notes
- If
N <= 0
,y
is left unchanged. - This package implements routines using WebAssembly. When provided arrays which are not allocated on a
dcopy
module memory instance, data must be explicitly copied to module memory prior to computation. Data movement may entail a performance cost, and, thus, if you are using arrays external to module memory, you should prefer using@stdlib/blas/base/dcopy
. However, if working with arrays which are allocated and explicitly managed on module memory, you can achieve better performance when compared to the pure JavaScript implementations found in@stdlib/blas/base/dcopy
. Beware that such performance gains may come at the cost of additional complexity when having to perform manual memory management. Choosing between implementations depends heavily on the particular needs and constraints of your application, with no one choice universally better than the other. dcopy()
corresponds to the BLAS level 1 functiondcopy
.
