SIMD.Float64x2

Note: The Float64x2 type is currently not part of the SIMD specification draft.

The SIMD.Float64x2 data type is a 128-bit vector divided into 2 lanes storing double precision floating point values.

Figure 1: SIMD.Float64x2 in a 128-bit SIMD register.

Syntax

SIMD.Float64x2(x, y);

Parameters

x Optional: A double specifying the value of the first lane. Defaults to NaN.
y Optional: A double specifying the value of the second lane. Defaults to NaN.

Constructor functions

In addition to the simple creator functions, the SIMD API provides the following constructor functions:

SIMD.Float64x2.splat(): Creates a Float64x2 with all lanes set to a given value.

Note that you can also convert from another SIMD data type to Float64x2.

Note: SIMD types don't work with new, as SIMD values are no "boxed" objects (comparable to String(s) vs. new String(s), which creates a String object).

var v = new SIMD.Float64x2(1,2); 
// TypeError: SIMD.Float64x2 is not a constructor
var w = new SIMD.Float64x2.splat(3); 
// TypeError: SIMD.Float64x2.splat is not a constructor

Instead, you just write:

var v = SIMD.Float64x2(1,2); 
var w = SIMD.Float64x2.splat(3);

Operations

To actually do something with SIMD types, SIMD operations are needed that work on SIMD data types.

Checking SIMD types

SIMD.Float64x2.check(): Returns a new Float64x2 if the parameter is a valid Float64x2 data type. Throws a TypeError otherwise.

Accessing and mutating lanes

SIMD.Float64x2.extractLane(): Returns the value of the given lane.
SIMD.Float64x2.replaceLane(): Returns a new Float64x2 with the given lane value replaced.

Loading from and storing into typed arrays

SIMD.Float64x2.load()
SIMD.Float64x2.load1(): Returns a new Float64x2 with the lane values loaded from a typed array.
SIMD.Float64x2.store() SIMD.Float64x2.store1(): Stores a Float64x2 into a typed array.

Arithmetic operations

SIMD.Float64x2.abs(): Returns a new Float64x2 with the absolute lane values.
SIMD.Float64x2.add(): Returns a new Float64x2 with the lane values added (a + b).
SIMD.Float64x2.div(): Returns a new Float64x2 with the lane values divided (a / b).
SIMD.Float64x2.mul(): Returns a new loat64x2 with the lane values multiplied (a * b).
SIMD.Float64x2.neg(): Returns a new Float64x2 with the negated lane values.
SIMD.Float64x2.reciprocalApproximation(): Returns a new Float64x2 with an approximation of the reciprocal lane values.
SIMD.Float64x2.reciprocalSqrtApproximation(): Returns a new Float64x2 with an approximation of the reciprocal square root lane values.
SIMD.Float64x2.sub(): Returns a new Float64x2 with the lane values subtracted (a - b).
SIMD.Float64x2.sqrt(): Returns a new Float64x2 with the square root of the lane values.

Shuffling and swizzling

SIMD.Float64x2.shuffle(): Returns a new Float64x2 with the lane values shuffled.
SIMD.Float64x2.swizzle(): Returns a new Float64x2 with the lane values swizzled.

Min and max values

SIMD.Float64x2.max(): Returns a new Float64x2 with the maximum of the lane values.
SIMD.Float64x2.maxNum(): Returns a new Float64x2 with the maximum of the lane values, preferring numbers over NaN.
SIMD.Float64x2.min(): Returns a new Float64x2 with the minimum of the lane values.
SIMD.Float64x2.minNum(): Returns a new Float64x2 with the minimum of the lane values, preferring numbers over NaN.

Selections

SIMD.Float64x2.select(): Returns a new loat64x2 with the lane values being a mix of the lanes depending on the selector mask.

Comparisons

SIMD.Float64x2.equal(): Returns a selection mask depending on a == b.
SIMD.Float64x2.notEqual(): Returns a selection mask depending on a != b.
SIMD.Float64x2.lessThan(): Returns a selection mask depending on a < b.
SIMD.Float64x2.lessThanOrEqual(): Returns a selection mask depending on a <= b.
SIMD.Float64x2.greaterThan(): Returns a selection mask depending on a > b.
SIMD.Float64x2.greaterThanOrEqual(): Returns a selection mask depending on a >= b.
