Enum VectorShape

jdk.incubator.vector.VectorShape

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<VectorShape>, Constable

public enum VectorShape
extends Enum<VectorShape>

A VectorShape selects a particular implementation of Vectors. A shape in combination with the element type determines a particular vector species object.

API Note:

Because not all shapes are supported by all platforms, shape-agnostic code is more portable. User code that selects particular shapes may fail to run, or run slowly, on some platforms. Use VectorShape.preferredShape() and VectorSpecies.ofPreferred() to select the shape that is usually preferable for most uses.

Method Detail

values

public static VectorShape[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static VectorShape valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

vectorBitSize

public int vectorBitSize()

Returns the size, in bits, of vectors of this shape.

Returns:

the size, in bits, of vectors of this shape.

withLanes

public <E> VectorSpecies<E> withLanes(Class<E> elementType)

Finds a vector species with the given element type and the current shape. Returns the same value as VectorSpecies.of(elementType, this).

Type Parameters:

E - the boxed element type

Parameters:

elementType - the required element type

Returns:

a species for the given element type and this shape

See Also:

VectorSpecies.of(Class, VectorShape)

forBitSize

public static VectorShape forBitSize(int bitSize)

Finds an appropriate shape depending on the proposed bit-size of a vector.

Parameters:

bitSize - the proposed vector size in bits

Returns:

a shape corresponding to the vector bit-size

See Also:

vectorBitSize()

preferredShape

public static VectorShape preferredShape()

Finds the vector shape preferred by the current platform for all vector element types.

The preferred shape by the platform has the largest possible bit-size, under the constraint that all lane sizes are supported, from byte to double. Thus, all the preferred vector species for various lane types will have a common underlying shape.

Returns:

a preferred shape for all element types

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if no such shape exists

VectorSpecies.ofPreferred(Class)
