Non-standard usage of sycl::abs

nmnobre — Tue, 11 Apr 2023 17:01:58 GMT

Hi,

In poisson_impl.hpp there are four usages of double sycl::abs(double) which is not defined in the SYCL standard.

Would it be possible to instead use double sycl::fabs(double)which is equivalent but standard compliant?

See also this issue in the intel/llvm GitHub repo.

Cheers,

-Nuno

Hi @nmnobre,

Thank you for pointing on this issue! Yes you are right, sycl::fabs should be used in poisson_impl.hpp. We will implement the fix in the future updates.

Also thank you for coming on our community forum, please, let us know if you have any oneMKL-related questions.

Best regards,
Alina
