  • Method Details

    • zero

      public static IntVector zero(VectorSpecies<Integer> species)
      Returns a vector of the given species where all lane elements are set to zero, the default primitive value.
      Parameters:
      species - species of the desired zero vector
      Returns:
      a zero vector

    • broadcast

      public abstract IntVector broadcast(int e)
      Returns a vector of the same species as this one where all lane elements are set to the primitive value e. The contents of the current vector are discarded; only the species is relevant to this operation.

      This method returns the value of this expression: IntVector.broadcast(this.species(), e).

      API Note:
      Unlike the similar method named broadcast() in the supertype Vector, this method does not need to validate its argument, and cannot throw IllegalArgumentException. This method is therefore preferable to the supertype method.
      Parameters:
      e - the value to broadcast
      Returns:
      a vector where all lane elements are set to the primitive value e
      See Also:

    • broadcast

      public static IntVector broadcast(VectorSpecies<Integer> species, int e)
      Returns a vector of the given species where all lane elements are set to the primitive value e.
      Parameters:
      species - species of the desired vector
      e - the value to broadcast
      Returns:
      a vector where all lane elements are set to the primitive value e
      See Also:

    • broadcast

      public abstract IntVector broadcast(long e)
      Returns a vector of the same species as this one where all lane elements are set to the primitive value e. The contents of the current vector are discarded; only the species is relevant to this operation.

      This method returns the value of this expression: EVector.broadcast(this.species(), (ETYPE)e), where EVector is the vector class specific to this vector's element type ETYPE.

      The long value e must be accurately representable by the ETYPE of this vector's species, so that e==(long)(ETYPE)e. If this rule is violated the problem is not detected statically, but an IllegalArgumentException is thrown at run-time. Thus, this method somewhat weakens the static type checking of immediate constants and other scalars, but it makes up for this by improving the expressiveness of the generic API. Note that an e value in the range [-128..127] is always acceptable, since every ETYPE will accept every byte value.

      Specified by:
      broadcast in class Vector<Integer>
      API Note:
      When working with vector subtypes like IntVector, the more strongly typed method is typically selected. It can be explicitly selected using a cast: v.broadcast((int)e). The two expressions will produce numerically identical results.
      Parameters:
      e - the value to broadcast
      Returns:
      a vector where all lane elements are set to the primitive value e
      See Also:

    • broadcast

      public static IntVector broadcast(VectorSpecies<Integer> species, long e)
      Returns a vector of the given species where all lane elements are set to the primitive value e. The long value must be accurately representable by the ETYPE of the vector species, so that e==(long)(ETYPE)e.
      Parameters:
      species - species of the desired vector
      e - the value to broadcast
      Returns:
      a vector where all lane elements are set to the primitive value e
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if the given long value cannot be represented by the vector's ETYPE

      Adds the lanes of this vector to their corresponding lane numbers, scaled by a given constant. This is a lane-wise unary operation which, for each lane N, computes the scaled index value N*scale and adds it to the value already in lane N of the current vector.

      The scale must not be so large, and the element size must not be so small, that that there would be an overflow when computing any of the N*scale or VLENGTH*scale, when the result is represented using the vector lane type ETYPE.

      The following pseudocode illustrates this behavior: 

      
 Vector<E> a = ...;
 VectorSpecies<E> species = a.species();
 ETYPE[] ar = a.toArray();
 for (int i = 0; i < ar.length; i++) {
     long d = (long)i * scale;

    • slice

      public abstract IntVector slice(int origin, Vector<Integer> v1)
      Slices a segment of adjacent lanes, starting at a given origin lane in the current vector, and continuing (as needed) into an immediately following vector. The block of VLENGTH lanes is extracted into its own vector and returned.

      This is a cross-lane operation that shifts lane elements to the front, from the current vector and the second vector. Both vectors can be viewed as a combined "background" of length 2*VLENGTH, from which a slice is extracted. The lane numbered N in the output vector is copied from lane origin+N of the input vector, if that lane exists, else from lane origin+N-VLENGTH of the second vector (which is guaranteed to exist).

      The origin value must be in the inclusive range 0..VLENGTH. As limiting cases, v.slice(0,w) and v.slice(VLENGTH,w) return v and w, respectively.

      Parameters:
      origin - the first input lane to transfer into the slice
      v1 - a second vector logically concatenated with the first, before the slice is taken (if omitted it defaults to zero)
      Returns:
      a contiguous slice of VLENGTH lanes, taken from this vector starting at the indicated origin, and continuing (as needed) into the second vector
      See Also:

      Slices a segment of adjacent lanes under the control of a mask, starting at a given origin lane in the current vector, and continuing (as needed) into an immediately following vector. The block of VLENGTH lanes is extracted into its own vector and returned. The resulting vector will be zero in all lanes unset in the given mask. Lanes set in the mask will contain data copied from selected lanes of this or v1.

      This is a cross-lane operation that shifts lane elements to the front, from the current vector and the second vector. Both vectors can be viewed as a combined "background" of length 2*VLENGTH, from which a slice is extracted. The returned result is equal to the expression broadcast(0).blend(slice(origin,v1),m).

      Specified by:
      slice in class Vector<Integer>
      Parameters:
      origin - the first input lane to transfer into the slice
      w - a second vector logically concatenated with the first, before the slice is taken (if omitted it defaults to zero)
      m - the mask controlling lane selection into the resulting vector
      Returns:
      a contiguous slice of VLENGTH lanes, taken from this vector starting at the indicated origin, and continuing (as needed) into the second vector
      See Also:

    • slice

      public abstract IntVector slice(int origin)
      Slices a segment of adjacent lanes, starting at a given origin lane in the current vector. A block of VLENGTH lanes, possibly padded with zero lanes, is extracted into its own vector and returned. This is a convenience method which slices from a single vector against an extended background of zero lanes. It is equivalent to slice (origin, broadcast(0)). It may also be viewed simply as a cross-lane shift from later to earlier lanes, with zeroes filling in the vacated lanes at the end of the vector. In this view, the shift count is origin.
      Parameters:
      origin - the first input lane to transfer into the slice
      Returns:
      the last VLENGTH-origin input lanes, placed starting in the first lane of the output, padded at the end with zeroes

    • unslice

      public abstract IntVector unslice(int origin, Vector<Integer> w, int part)
      Reverses a slice(), inserting the current vector as a slice within another "background" input vector, which is regarded as one or the other input to a hypothetical subsequent slice() operation.

      This is a cross-lane operation that permutes the lane elements of the current vector toward the back and inserts them into a logical pair of background vectors. Only one of the pair will be returned, however. The background is formed by duplicating the second input vector. (However, the output will never contain two duplicates from the same input lane.) The lane numbered N in the input vector is copied into lane origin+N of the first background vector, if that lane exists, else into lane origin+N-VLENGTH of the second background vector (which is guaranteed to exist). The first or second background vector, updated with the inserted slice, is returned. The part number of zero or one selects the first or second updated background vector.

      The origin value must be in the inclusive range 0..VLENGTH. As limiting cases, v.unslice(0,w,0) and v.unslice(VLENGTH,w,1) both return v, while v.unslice(0,w,1) and v.unslice(VLENGTH,w,0) both return w.

      Specified by:
      unslice in class Vector<Integer>
      Parameters:
      origin - the first output lane to receive the slice
      w - the background vector that (as two copies) will receive the inserted slice
      part - the part number of the result (either zero or one)
      Returns:
      either the first or second part of a pair of background vectors w, updated by inserting this vector at the indicated origin
      See Also:

    • unslice

      public abstract IntVector unslice(int origin, Vector<Integer> w, int part, VectorMask<Integer> m)
      Reverses a slice(), inserting (under the control of a mask) the current vector as a slice within another "background" input vector, which is regarded as one or the other input to a hypothetical subsequent slice() operation.

      This is a cross-lane operation that permutes the lane elements of the current vector forward and inserts its lanes (when selected by the mask) into a logical pair of background vectors. As with the unmasked version of this method, only one of the pair will be returned, as selected by the part number. For each lane N selected by the mask, the lane value is copied into lane origin+N of the first background vector, if that lane exists, else into lane origin+N-VLENGTH of the second background vector (which is guaranteed to exist). Background lanes retain their original values if the corresponding input lanes N are unset in the mask. The first or second background vector, updated with set lanes of the inserted slice, is returned. The part number of zero or one selects the first or second updated background vector.

      Specified by:
      unslice in class Vector<Integer>
      Parameters:
      origin - the first output lane to receive the slice
      w - the background vector that (as two copies) will receive the inserted slice, if they are set in m
      part - the part number of the result (either zero or one)
      m - the mask controlling lane selection from the current vector
      Returns:
      either the first or second part of a pair of background vectors w, updated by inserting selected lanes of this vector at the indicated origin

It may also be viewed simply as a cross-lane shift from earlier to later lanes, with zeroes filling in the vacated lanes at the beginning of the vector. In this view, the shift count is origin.
      Specified by:
      unslice in class Vector<Integer>
      Parameters:
      origin - the first output lane to receive the slice
      Returns:

This is a cross-lane operation that rearranges the lane elements of the two input vectors (the current vector and a second vector v). For each lane N of the shuffle, and for each lane source index I=s.laneSource(N) in the shuffle, the output lane N obtains the value from the first vector at lane I if I>=0. Otherwise, the exceptional index I is wrapped by adding VLENGTH to it and used to index the second vector, at index I+VLENGTH.

      This method returns the value of this pseudocode: 

      
 Vector<E> r1 = this.rearrange(s.wrapIndexes());
 // or else: r1 = this.rearrange(s, s.laneIsValid());
 Vector<E> r2 = v.rearrange(s.wrapIndexes());
 return r2.blend(r1,s.laneIsValid());
      Specified by:
      rearrange in class Vector<Integer>
      Parameters:
      s - the shuffle controlling lane selection from both input vectors
      v - the second input vector
      Returns:
      the rearrangement of lane elements of this vector and a second input vector

    • compress

      public abstract IntVector compress(VectorMask<Integer> m)
      Compresses the lane elements of this vector selecting lanes under the control of a specific mask. This is a cross-lane operation that compresses the lane elements of this vector as selected by the specified mask. For each lane N of the mask, if the mask at lane N is set, the element at lane N of input vector is selected and stored into the output vector contiguously starting from the lane 0. All the upper remaining lanes, if any, of the output vector are set to zero.
      Specified by:
      compress in class Vector<Integer>
      Parameters:
      m - the mask controlling the compression
      Returns:
      the compressed lane elements of this vector
      Since:
      19

    • expand

      public abstract IntVector expand(VectorMask<Integer> m)
      Expands the lane elements of this vector under the control of a specific mask. This is a cross-lane operation that expands the contiguous lane elements of this vector into lanes of an output vector as selected by the specified mask. For each lane N of the mask, if the mask at lane N is set, the next contiguous element of input vector starting from lane 0 is selected and stored into the output vector at lane N. All the remaining lanes, if any, of the output vector are set to zero.
      Specified by:
      expand in class Vector<Integer>
      Parameters:
      m - the mask controlling the compression
      Returns:
      the expanded lane elements of this vector

      19

    • selectFrom

      public abstract IntVector selectFrom(Vector<Integer> v)
      Using index values stored in the lanes of this vector, assemble values stored in second vector v. The second vector thus serves as a table, whose elements are selected by indexes in the current vector. This is a cross-lane operation that rearranges the lane elements of the argument vector, under the control of this vector. For each lane N of this vector, and for each lane value I=wrapIndex(this.lane(N)) in this vector, the output lane N obtains the value from the argument vector at lane I. In this way, the result contains only values stored in the argument vector v, but presented in an order which depends on the index values in this. The result is the same as the expression v.rearrange(this.toShuffle()).
      Specified by:
      selectFrom in class Vector<Integer>
      Parameters:
      v - the vector supplying the result values
      Returns:
      the rearrangement of the lane elements of v
      See Also:

    • selectFrom

      public abstract IntVector selectFrom(Vector<Integer> s, VectorMask<Integer> m)
      Using index values stored in the lanes of this vector, assemble values stored in second vector, under the control of a mask. Using index values stored in the lanes of this vector, assemble values stored in second vector v. The second vector thus serves as a table, whose elements are selected by indexes in the current vector. Lanes that are unset in the mask receive a zero rather than a value from the table. This is a cross-lane operation that rearranges the lane elements of the argument vector, under the control of this vector and the mask. The result is the same as the expression v.rearrange(this.toShuffle(), m).
      Specified by:
      selectFrom in class Vector<Integer>
      Parameters:
      s - the vector supplying the result values
      m - the mask controlling selection from v
      Returns:
      the rearrangement of the lane elements of v
      See Also:

    • selectFrom

      public abstract IntVector selectFrom(Vector<Integer> v1, Vector<Integer> v2)
      Using values stored in the lanes of this vector, assemble values stored in the second vector v1 and third vector v2. The second and third vectors thus serve as a table, whose elements are selected by indexes in this vector. This is a cross-lane operation that rearranges the lane elements of the argument vectors, under the control of this vector. For each lane N of this vector, and for each lane value I=wrapIndex(this.lane(N) in this vector, the output lane N obtains the value from the second vector at lane I if I < VLENGTH. Otherwise, the output lane N obtains the value from the third vector at lane I - VLENGTH. Here, VLENGTH is the result of this.length(), and for integral values wrapIndex computes the result of Math.floorMod(E, 2 * VLENGTH), where E is the index to be wrapped. As long as VLENGTH is a power of two, then the result is also equal to E & (2 * VLENGTH - 1). For floating point values wrapIndex computes Math.floorMod(convert(E), 2 * VLENGTH), where convert converts the floating point value to an integral value with the same number of representational bits - as in converting a double value to a long value ((long)doubleVal), or a float value to an int value ((int)floatVal). In this way, the result contains only values stored in the argument vectors v1 and v2, but presented in an order which depends on the index values in this. The result for integral values is the same as the expression 
      v1.rearrange(
this.lanewise(VectorOperators.AND, 2 * VLENGTH - 1).toShuffle(),
v2)
      when VLENGTH is a power of two. The lane-wise AND operation results in a vector whose elements are in the range [0, 2 * VLENGTH - 1]). The shuffle conversion results in a partially wrapped shuffle whose indexes are in the range [-VLENGTH, VLENGTH - 1]), where exceptional indexes are used to select elements in the third vector.
      Specified by:
      selectFrom in class Vector<Integer>
      Parameters:
      v1 - the first input vector
      v2 - the second input vector
      Returns:
      the rearrangement of lane elements of v1 and v2

      public static IntVector fromMemorySegment(VectorSpecies<Integer> species, MemorySegment ms, long offset, ByteOrder bo)
      Loads a vector from a memory segment starting at an offset into the memory segment. Bytes are composed into primitive lane elements according to the specified byte order. The vector is arranged into lanes according to memory ordering.

      This method behaves as if it returns the result of calling fromMemorySegment() as follows:

      Parameters:
      species - species of desired vector
      ms - the memory segment

    • fromMemorySegment

      public static IntVector fromMemorySegment(VectorSpecies<Integer> species, MemorySegment ms, long offset, ByteOrder bo, VectorMask<Integer> m)
      Loads a vector from a memory segment starting at an offset into the memory segment and using a mask. Lanes where the mask is unset are filled with the default value of int (zero). Bytes are composed into primitive lane elements according to the specified byte order. The vector is arranged into lanes according to memory ordering.

      The following pseudocode illustrates the behavior: 

      
 var slice = ms.asSlice(offset);
 int[] ar = new int[species.length()];
 for (int n = 0; n < ar.length; n++) {
     if (m.laneIsSet(n)) {

     }
 }
 IntVector r = IntVector.fromArray(species, ar, 0);
      Implementation Note:
      This operation is likely to be more efficient if the specified byte order is the same as the platform native order, since this method will not need to reorder the bytes of lane values.

      species - species of desired vector
      ms - the memory segment
      offset - the offset into the memory segment
      bo - the intended byte order

    • convert

      public final <F> Vector<F> convert(VectorOperators.Conversion<Integer,F> conv, int part)
      Convert this vector to a vector of the same shape and a new element type, converting lane values from the current ETYPE to a new lane type (called FTYPE here) according to the indicated conversion. This is a lane-wise shape-invariant operation which copies ETYPE values from the input vector to corresponding FTYPE values in the result. Depending on the selected conversion, this operation may either expand or contract its logical result, in which case a non-zero part number can further control the selection and steering of the logical result into the physical output vector.

      Each specific conversion is described by a conversion constant in the class VectorOperators. Each conversion operator has a specified domain type and range type. The domain type must exactly match the lane type of the input vector, while the range type determines the lane type of the output vectors.

      A conversion operator may be classified as (respectively) in-place, expanding, or contracting, depending on whether the bit-size of its domain type is (respectively) equal, less than, or greater than the bit-size of its range type.

      Independently, conversion operations can also be classified as reinterpreting or value-transforming, depending on whether the conversion copies representation bits unchanged, or changes the representation bits in order to retain (part or all of) the logical value of the input value.

      If a reinterpreting conversion contracts, it will truncate the upper bits of the input. If it expands, it will pad upper bits of the output with zero bits, when there are no corresponding input bits.

      An expanding conversion such as S2I (short value to int) takes a scalar value and represents it in a larger format (always with some information redundancy). A contracting conversion such as D2F (double value to float) takes a scalar value and represents it in a smaller format (always with some information loss). Some in-place conversions may also include information loss, such as L2D (long value to double) or F2I (float value to int). Reinterpreting in-place conversions are not lossy, unless the bitwise value is somehow not legal in the output type. Converting the bit-pattern of a NaN may discard bits from the NaN's significand.

      This classification is important, because, unless otherwise documented, conversion operations never change vector shape, regardless of how they may change lane sizes. Therefore an expanding conversion cannot store all of its results in its output vector, because the output vector has fewer lanes of larger size, in order to have the same overall bit-size as its input. Likewise, a contracting conversion must store its relatively small results into a subset of the lanes of the output vector, defaulting the unused lanes to zero.

      As an example, a conversion from byte to long (M=8) will discard 87.5% of the input values in order to convert the remaining 12.5% into the roomy long lanes of the output vector. The inverse conversion will convert back all of the large results, but will waste 87.5% of the lanes in the output vector. In-place conversions (M=1) deliver all of their results in one output vector, without wasting lanes.

      To manage the details of these expansions and contractions, a non-zero part parameter selects partial results from expansions, or steers the results of contractions into corresponding locations, as follows:

      • expanding by M: part must be in the range [0..M-1], and selects the block of VLENGTH/M input lanes starting at the origin lane at part*VLENGTH/M.

        The VLENGTH/M output lanes represent a partial slice of the whole logical result of the conversion, filling the entire physical output vector.

      • contracting by M: part must be in the range [-M+1..0], and steers all VLENGTH input lanes into the output located at the origin lane -part*VLENGTH. There is a total of VLENGTH*M output lanes, and those not holding converted input values are filled with zeroes.

        A group of such output vectors, with logical result parts steered to disjoint blocks, can be reassembled using the bitwise or or (for floating point) the FIRST_NONZERO operator.

      • in-place (M=1): part must be zero. Both vectors have the same VLENGTH. The result is always positioned at the origin lane of zero.

      This method is a restricted version of the more general but less frequently used shape-changing method convertShape(). The result of this method is the same as the expression this.convertShape(conv, rsp, this.broadcast(part)), where the output species is rsp=this.species().withLanes(FTYPE.class).

      Specified by:
      convert in class Vector<E>
      Type Parameters:
      F - the boxed element type of the species
      Parameters:
      conv - the desired scalar conversion to apply lane-wise
      part - the part number of the result, or zero if neither expanding nor contracting

      a vector converted by shape and element type from this vector

    • castShape

      public final <F> Vector<F> castShape(VectorSpecies<F> toSpecies, int part)
      Convenience method for converting a vector from one lane type to another, reshaping as needed when lane sizes change. This method returns the value of this expression: convertShape(conv,rsp,part), where conv is VectorOperators.Conversion.ofCast(E.class,F.class).

      If the old and new species have different shape, this is a shape-changing operation, and may have special implementation costs.

      Specified by:
      castShape in class Vector<E>
      Type Parameters:
      F - the boxed element type of the output species
      Parameters:
      toSpecies - the desired output species
      part - the part number of the result, or zero if neither expanding nor contracting
      Returns:
      a vector converted by element type from this vector

    • convertShape

      public abstract <F> Vector<F> convertShape(VectorOperators.Conversion<Integer,F> conv, VectorSpecies<F> rsp, int part)
      Converts this vector to a vector of the given species, shape and element type, converting lane values from the current ETYPE to a new lane type (called FTYPE here) according to the indicated conversion. This is a lane-wise operation which copies ETYPE values from the input vector to corresponding FTYPE values in the result.

      If the old and new species have the same shape, the behavior is exactly the same as the simpler, shape-invariant method convert(). In such cases, the simpler method convert() should be used, to make code easier to reason about. Otherwise, this is a shape-changing operation, and may have special implementation costs.

      As a combined effect of shape changes and lane size changes, the input and output species may have different lane counts, causing expansion or contraction. In this case a non-zero part parameter selects partial results from an expanded logical result, or steers the results of a contracted logical result into a physical output vector of the required output species.

      The following pseudocode illustrates the behavior of this method for in-place, expanding, and contracting conversions. (This pseudocode also applies to the shape-invariant method, but with shape restrictions on the output species.) Note that only one of the three code paths is relevant to any particular combination of conversion operator and shapes.
