Numerical ranges on MLX devices

mlx_arange.Rd

mlx_arange() mirrors base::seq() with mlx arrays: it creates evenly spaced values starting at start (default 0), stepping by step (default 1), and stopping before stop.

Usage

mlx_arange(
  stop,
  start = NULL,
  step = NULL,
  dtype = c("float32", "float64", "int8", "int16", "int32", "int64", "uint8", "uint16",
    "uint32", "uint64"),
  device = mlx_default_device()
)

Arguments

stop

Exclusive upper bound.

start

Optional starting value (defaults to 0).

step

Optional step size (defaults to 1).

dtype

MLX dtype ("float32" or "float64").

device

Execution target: provide "gpu", "cpu", or an mlx_stream created via mlx_new_stream(). Defaults to the current mlx_default_device().

Value

A 1D mlx array.

Examples

mlx_arange(5)                    # 0, 1, 2, 3, 4
#> mlx array [5]
#>   dtype: float32
#>   device: gpu
#>   values:
#> [1] 0 1 2 3 4
mlx_arange(5, start = 1, step = 2) # 1, 3
#> mlx array [2]
#>   dtype: float32
#>   device: gpu
#>   values:
#> [1] 1 3
