Vector Operations

Operations on vectors of data (floating point numbers)

• Vector-vector

  V₁ <-V₂ + V₃ (component-wise sum)
  V₁ <-- V₂

• Vector-scalar

  V₁ <-c * V₂

• Vector-memory

  V <-A (vector load)
  A <-V (vector store)

• Vector reduction

  c <-min(V)
  c <-sum(V)
  c <-V₁ * V₂ (dot product)
