isSingleSegmentCompatible

Determine if an array is compatible with a single memory segment.

An array is compatible with a single memory segment when an array view spans only the elements belonging to the array. When an array is compatible with a single memory segment, array data can be stored as a single block of memory.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/ndarray-base-assert-is-single-segment-compatible

Usage

var isSingleSegmentCompatible = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-base-assert-is-single-segment-compatible' );

isSingleSegmentCompatible( shape, strides, offset )

Returns a boolean indicating if an array is compatible with a single memory segment.

var shape = [ 2, 2 ];
var strides = [ 2, 1 ];
var offset = 25;

var bool = isSingleSegmentCompatible( shape, strides, offset );
// returns true

shape = [ 10 ];
strides = [ 3 ]; // every third memory element
offset = 0;

bool = isSingleSegmentCompatible( shape, strides, offset );
// returns false

Examples

var discreteUniform = require( '@stdlib/random-base-discrete-uniform' );
var shape2strides = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-base-shape2strides' );
var strides2offset = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-base-strides2offset' );
var randu = require( '@stdlib/random-base-randu' );
var isSingleSegmentCompatible = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-base-assert-is-single-segment-compatible' );

var strides;
var offset;
var shape;
var bool;
var i;
var j;

shape = [ 0, 0, 0 ];

for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
    // Generate a random array shape:
    shape[ 0 ] = discreteUniform( 1, 10 );
    shape[ 1 ] = discreteUniform( 1, 10 );
    shape[ 2 ] = discreteUniform( 1, 10 );

    // Generate strides:
    if ( randu() < 0.5 ) {
        strides = shape2strides( shape, 'row-major' );
    } else {
        strides = shape2strides( shape, 'column-major' );
    }
    j = discreteUniform( 0, shape.length-1 );
    strides[ j ] *= ( randu() < 0.5 ) ? -1 : 1;

    strides[ 0 ] *= discreteUniform( 1, 4 ); // if scaled by 1, then single segment

    // Compute the index offset:
    offset = strides2offset( shape, strides );

    // Determine if the array is compatible with a single memory segment:
    bool = isSingleSegmentCompatible( shape, strides, offset );
    console.log( 'Shape: %s. Strides: %s. Offset: %d. Single segment compatible: %s.', shape.join( 'x' ), strides.join( ',' ), offset, bool );
}
