About stdlib...

We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.

The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.

When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.

To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

rsqrt

NPM version Build Status Coverage Status

Compute the reciprocal square root for each element in a strided array.

The reciprocal of the principal square root is defined as

$$\mathop{\mathrm{rsqrt}}(x)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}$$

Usage

import rsqrt from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/math-strided-special-rsqrt@esm/index.mjs';

rsqrt( N, dtypeX, x, strideX, dtypeY, y, strideY )

Computes the reciprocal square root for each element in a strided array x and assigns the results to elements in a strided array y.

import Float64Array from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/array-float64@esm/index.mjs';

var x = new Float64Array( [ 0.0, 4.0, 9.0, 12.0, 24.0 ] );

// Perform operation in-place:
rsqrt( x.length, 'float64', x, 1, 'float64', x, 1 );
// x => <Float64Array>[ Infinity, 0.5, ~0.333, ~0.289, ~0.204 ]

The function accepts the following arguments:

  • N: number of indexed elements.
  • dtypeX: data type for x.
  • x: input array-like object.
  • strideX: index increment for x.
  • dtypeY: data type for y.
  • y: output array-like object.
  • strideY: index increment for y.

The N and stride parameters determine which elements in x and y are accessed at runtime. For example, to index every other value in x and the first N elements of y in reverse order,

import Float64Array from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/array-float64@esm/index.mjs';

var x = new Float64Array( [ 0.0, 4.0, 9.0, 12.0, 24.0, 64.0 ] );
var y = new Float64Array( [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ] );

rsqrt( 3, 'float64', x, 2, 'float64', y, -1 );
// y => <Float64Array>[ ~0.204, ~0.333, Infinity, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ]

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

import Float64Array from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/array-float64@esm/index.mjs';

// Initial arrays...
var x0 = new Float64Array( [ 0.0, 4.0, 9.0, 12.0, 24.0, 64.0 ] );
var y0 = new Float64Array( [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ] );

// 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

rsqrt( 3, 'float64', x1, -2, 'float64', y1, 1 );
// y0 => <Float64Array>[ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.125, ~0.289, 0.5 ]

rsqrt.ndarray( N, dtypeX, x, strideX, offsetX, dtypeY, y, strideY, offsetY )

Computes the reciprocal square root for each element in a strided array x and assigns the results to elements in a strided array y using alternative indexing semantics.

import Float64Array from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/array-float64@esm/index.mjs';

var x = new Float64Array( [ 0.0, 4.0, 9.0, 12.0, 24.0 ] );
var y = new Float64Array( [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ] );

rsqrt.ndarray( x.length, 'float64', x, 1, 0, 'float64', y, 1, 0 );
// y => <Float64Array>[ Infinity, 0.5, ~0.333, ~0.289, ~0.204 ]

The function accepts the following additional arguments:

  • offsetX: starting index for x.
  • offsetY: starting index for y.

While typed array views mandate a view offset based on the underlying buffer, the offsetX and offsetY parameters support indexing semantics based on starting indices. For example, to index every other value in x starting from the second value and to index the last N elements in y,

import Float64Array from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/array-float64@esm/index.mjs';

var x = new Float64Array( [ 0.0, 4.0, 9.0, 12.0, 24.0, 64.0 ] );
var y = new Float64Array( [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ] );

rsqrt.ndarray( 3, 'float64', x, 2, 1, 'float64', y, -1, y.length-1 );
// y => <Float64Array>[ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.125, ~0.289, 0.5 ]
