Interface VectorSpecies<E>
- Type Parameters:
E- the boxed version ofETYPE, the element type of a vector
- API Note:
- User code should not implement this interface. A future release of this type may restrict implementations to be members of the same package.
- Implementation Note:
- The string representation of an instance of this interface will
be of the form "Species[ETYPE, VLENGTH, SHAPE]", where
ETYPEis the primitive lane type,VLENGTHis the vector lane count associated with the species, andSHAPEis the vector shape associated with the species.Vector species objects can be stored in locals and parameters and as
static finalconstants, but storing them in other Java fields or in array elements, while semantically valid, may incur performance penalties.

elementType- the required lane type- Returns:

ClassCastException- if the species has the wrong element type- See Also:

partLimit
Given this species and a second one, reports the net expansion or contraction of a (potentially) resizing reinterpretation cast orlane-wise conversionfrom this species to the second. The sign and magnitude of the return value depends on the size difference between the proposed input and output shapes, and (optionally, iflanewiseis true) also on the size difference between the proposed input and output lanes.- First, a logical result size is determined.
If
lanewiseis false, this size that of the inputVSHAPE. Iflanewiseis true, the logical result size is the product of the inputVLENGTHtimes the size of the outputETYPE. - Next, the logical result size is compared against the size of the proposed output shape, to see how it will fit.
- If the logical result fits precisely in the output shape, the return value is zero, signifying no net expansion or contraction.
- If the logical result would overflow the output shape, the
return value is the ratio (greater than one) of the logical
result size to the (smaller) output size. This ratio can be
viewed as measuring the proportion of "dropped input bits"
which must be deleted from the input in order for the result to
fit in the output vector. It is also the part limit,
a upper exclusive limit on the
partparameter to a method that would transform the input species to the output species. - If the logical result would drop into the output shape
with room to spare, the return value is a negative number whose
absolute value the ratio (greater than one) between the output
size and the (smaller) logical result size. This ratio can be
viewed as measuring the proportion of "extra padding bits"
which must be added to the logical result to fill up the output
vector. It is also the part limit, an exclusive lower
limit on the
partparameter to a method that would transform the input species to the output species.
- Parameters:
outputSpecies- the proposed output specieslanewise- whether to take lane sizes into account- Returns:
- an indication of the size change, as a signed ratio or zero

withLanes
Finds a species with the given element type and the same shape as this species. Returns the same value asVectorSpecies.of(newType, this.vectorShape()).- Type Parameters:
F- the boxed element type- Parameters:
newType- the new element type- Returns:
- a species for the new element type and the same shape
- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException- if no such species exists for the given combination of element type and shape or if the given type is not a validETYPE- See Also:
-

Finds a species with the given shape and the same elementType as this species. Returns the same value asVectorSpecies.of(this.elementType(), newShape).- Parameters:
newShape- the new shape- Returns:
- a species for the same element type and the new shape
- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException- if no such species exists for the given combination of element type and shape- See Also:
-
of
Finds a species for an element type and shape.- Type Parameters:
E- the boxed element type- Parameters:
elementType- the element typeshape- the shape- Returns:
- a species for the given element type and shape
- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException- if no such species exists for the given combination of element type and shape or if the given type is not a validETYPE- See Also:
-
ofLargestShape
Finds the largest vector species of the given element type.The returned species is a species chosen by the platform that has a shape with the largest possible bit-size for the given element type. The underlying vector shape might not support other lane types on some platforms, which may limit the applicability of reinterpretation casts. Vector algorithms which require reinterpretation casts will be more portable if they use the platform's preferred species.
- Type Parameters:
E- the boxed element type- Parameters:
etype- the element type- Returns:
- a preferred species for an element type
- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException- if no such species exists for the element type or if the given type is not a validETYPE- See Also:
-
ofPreferred
Finds the species preferred by the current platform for a given vector element type. This is the same value asVectorSpecies.of(etype, VectorShape.preferredShape()).This species is chosen by the platform so that it has the largest possible shape that supports all lane element types. This has the following implications:
- The various preferred species for different element types will have the same underlying shape.
- All vectors created from preferred species will have a common bit-size and information capacity.
- Reinterpretation casts between vectors of preferred species will neither truncate lanes nor fill them with default values.
- For any particular element type, some platform might possibly provide a larger vector shape that (as a trade-off) does not support all possible element types.
- Implementation Note:
- On many platforms there is no behavioral difference
between
ofLargestShapeandofPreferred, because the preferred shape is usually also the largest available shape for every lane type. Therefore, most vector algorithms will perform well withoutofLargestShape. - Type Parameters:
E- the boxed element type- Parameters:
etype- the element type- Returns:
- a preferred species for this element type
- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException- if no such species exists for the element type or if the given type is not a validETYPE- See Also:
-
