vDSP_vmmsb

Calculates the single-precision element-wise difference of the products of two pairs of vectors, using the specified stride.

Declaration

extern void vDSP_vmmsb(const float *__A, vDSP_Stride __IA, const float *__B, vDSP_Stride __IB, const float *__C, vDSP_Stride __IC, const float *__D, vDSP_Stride __ID, float *__E, vDSP_Stride __IE, vDSP_Length __N);

Parameters

  • __A:

    The input vector A in E = (A * B) - (C * D).

  • __IA:

    The distance between the elements in the input vector A.

  • __B:

    The input vector B in E = (A * B) - (C * D).

  • __IB:

    The distance between the elements in the input vector B.

  • __C:

    The input vector C in E = (A * B) - (C * D).

  • __IC:

    The distance between the elements in the input vector C.

  • __D:

    The input vector D in E = (A * B) - (C * D).

  • __ID:

    The distance between the elements in the input vector D.

  • __E:

    The output vector E in E = (A * B) - (C * D).

  • __IE:

    The distance between the elements in the output vector E.

  • __N:

    The number of elements that the function processes.

Discussion

This function calculates the differences of the first N elements of the product of vectors A and B and the product of vectors C and D.

 for (n = 0; n < N; ++n)
    E[n] = A[n]*B[n] - C[n]*D[n];

The following code shows an example of using this function:

    let stride = 1
    let count = 5
    
    let a: [Float] = [ 1,  2,  3,  4,  5]
    let b: [Float] = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50]
    let c: [Float] = [ 5,  4,  3,  2,  1]
    let d: [Float] = [50, 40, 30, 20, 10]
    
    let e = [Float](unsafeUninitializedCapacity: count) {
        buffer, initializedCount in
        
        vDSP_vmmsb(a, stride,
                   b, stride,
                   c, stride,
                   d, stride,
                   buffer.baseAddress!, stride,
                   vDSP_Length(count))
        
        initializedCount = count
    }
    
    // Prints "[-240.0, -120.0, 0.0, 120.0, 240.0]".
    print(e)
