vec_absd
Purpose
Returns a vector that contains the absolute difference of the corresponding elements of the given vectors.
Note: This built-in function
is valid only when the -mcpu option is set to target POWER9™ processors
or higher.
Syntax
d=vec_absd(a, b)Result and argument types
The following table describes the types of the returned value and the function arguments.
| d | a | b |
|---|---|---|
| vector unsigned char | vector unsigned char | vector unsigned char |
| vector unsigned short | vector unsigned short | vector unsigned short |
| vector unsigned int | vector unsigned int | vector unsigned int |
Result value
The value of each element of the result is the absolute difference of the corresponding elements
of a and b using the modulo arithmetic.
