dcusumpw

Calculate the cumulative sum of double-precision floating-point strided array elements using pairwise summation.

Usage

var dcusumpw = require( '@stdlib/blas/ext/base/dcusumpw' );

dcusumpw( N, sum, x, strideX, y, strideY )

Computes the cumulative sum of double-precision floating-point strided array elements using pairwise summation.

var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float64' );

var x = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, -2.0, 2.0 ] );
var y = new Float64Array( x.length );

dcusumpw( x.length, 0.0, x, 1, y, 1 );
// y => <Float64Array>[ 1.0, -1.0, 1.0 ]

x = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, -2.0, 2.0 ] );
y = new Float64Array( x.length );

dcusumpw( x.length, 10.0, x, 1, y, 1 );
// y => <Float64Array>[ 11.0, 9.0, 11.0 ]

The function has the following parameters:

N: number of indexed elements.
sum: initial sum.
x: input Float64Array.
strideX: index increment for x.
y: output Float64Array.
strideY: index increment for y.

The N and stride parameters determine which elements in x and y are accessed at runtime. For example, to compute the cumulative sum of every other element in x,

var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float64' );
var floor = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/floor' );

var x = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 2.0, -7.0, -2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 2.0 ] );
var y = new Float64Array( x.length );

var N = floor( x.length / 2 );

var v = dcusumpw( N, 0.0, x, 2, y, 1 );
// y => <Float64Array>[ 1.0, 3.0, 1.0, 5.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ]

Note that indexing is relative to the first index. To introduce an offset, use typed array views.

var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float64' );
var floor = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/floor' );

// Initial arrays...
var x0 = new Float64Array( [ 2.0, 1.0, 2.0, -2.0, -2.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ] );
var y0 = new Float64Array( x0.length );

// 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

var N = floor( x0.length / 2 );

dcusumpw( N, 0.0, x1, -2, y1, 1 );
// y0 => <Float64Array>[ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 4.0, 6.0, 4.0, 5.0, 0.0 ]

dcusumpw.ndarray( N, sum, x, strideX, offsetX, y, strideY, offsetY )

Computes the cumulative sum of double-precision floating-point strided array elements using pairwise summation and alternative indexing semantics.

var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float64' );

var x = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, -2.0, 2.0 ] );
var y = new Float64Array( x.length );

dcusumpw.ndarray( x.length, 0.0, x, 1, 0, y, 1, 0 );
// y => <Float64Array>[ 1.0, -1.0, 1.0 ]

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, offsetX and offsetY parameters support indexing semantics based on a starting indices. For example, to calculate the cumulative sum of every other value in x starting from the second value and to store in the last N elements of y starting from the last element

var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float64' );
var floor = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/floor' );

var x = new Float64Array( [ 2.0, 1.0, 2.0, -2.0, -2.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ] );
var y = new Float64Array( x.length );

var N = floor( x.length / 2 );

dcusumpw.ndarray( N, 0.0, x, 2, 1, y, -1, y.length-1 );
// y => <Float64Array>[ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 5.0, 1.0, -1.0, 1.0 ]

Notes

If N <= 0, both functions return y unchanged.
In general, pairwise summation is more numerically stable than ordinary recursive summation (i.e., "simple" summation), with slightly worse performance. While not the most numerically stable summation technique (e.g., compensated summation techniques such as the Kahan–Babuška-Neumaier algorithm are generally more numerically stable), pairwise summation strikes a reasonable balance between numerical stability and performance. If either numerical stability or performance is more desirable for your use case, consider alternative summation techniques.

Examples

var randu = require( '@stdlib/random/base/randu' );
var round = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/round' );
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float64' );
var dcusumpw = require( '@stdlib/blas/ext/base/dcusumpw' );

var y;
var x;
var i;

x = new Float64Array( 10 );
y = new Float64Array( x.length );
for ( i = 0; i < x.length; i++ ) {
    x[ i ] = round( randu()*100.0 );
}
console.log( x );
console.log( y );

dcusumpw( x.length, 0.0, x, 1, y, -1 );
console.log( y );
