volk_32f_log2_32f

Overview

Computes base 2 log of input vector and stores results in output vector.

Note that this implementation is not conforming to the IEEE FP standard, i.e., +-Inf outputs are mapped to +-127.0f and +-NaN input values are not supported.

This kernel was adapted from Jose Fonseca's Fast SSE2 log implementation https://jrfonseca.blogspot.com/2008/09/fast-sse2-pow-tables-or-polynomials.html

Dispatcher Prototype

void volk_32f_log2_32f(float* bVector, const float* aVector, unsigned int num_points)

Inputs

- aVector: the input vector of floats.
- num_points: The number of data points.

Outputs

- bVector: The output vector.

Example

int N = 10;
unsigned int alignment = volk_get_alignment();
float* in = (float*)volk_malloc(sizeof(float)*N, alignment);
float* out = (float*)volk_malloc(sizeof(float)*N, alignment);
for(unsigned int ii = 0; ii < N; ++ii){
in[ii] = std::pow(2.f,((float)ii));
}
volk_32f_log2_32f(out, in, N);
for(unsigned int ii = 0; ii < N; ++ii){
printf("out(%i) = %f\n", ii, out[ii]);
}
volk_free(in);
volk_free(out);
