Adding vectors using oneMKL

[Nikhil_T]

I want to add 2 vectors using the following command:

oneapi::mkl::vm::add ( general parameters )

The function signature says that it adds vec_a and vec_b and stores the result in vec_y.

However, in my case, I want to perform vec_a = vec_a + vec_b, multiple times. I want to avoid the creation of a new vec_y and then transfer it to vec_a.

Is it possible to call the function with the following signature:

(vec_a , vec_b and vec_y are std::vectors)

oneapi::mkl::vm::add(q, vec_size, vec_a.data(), vec_b.data(),vec_a.data(), {}) 

instead of 

oneapi::mkl::vm::add(q, vec_size, vec_a.data(), vec_b.data(),vec_y.data(), {}) 

?

Also, when trying to add those 2 vectors, I am getting the error as :

E0304 no instance of overloaded function "oneapi::mkl::vm::add" matches the argument list

Hi,

Thanks for posting your query.

>>oneapi::mkl::vm::add(q, vec_size, vec_a.data(), vec_b.data(),vec_a.data(), {}) 

We tried this scenario using CPU as the device and the results were correct.

Please refer to the examples provided in /intel/oneapi/mkl/latest/examples/dpcpp/vml. In the directory you can refer to vadd.cpp or vadd_usm.cpp for reference.

Please let us know if you have any issues.

@MRajesh_intel  Thank you. Yes the issue has been resolved now. It was the older version of oneapi that was getting stuck.
