Evenly spaced ranges on MLX devices

Source: R/create.R
mlx_linspace.Rd

mlx_linspace() creates num evenly spaced values from start to stop, inclusive. Unlike mlx_arange(), you specify how many samples you want rather than the step size.

Usage

mlx_linspace(
  start,
  stop,
  num = 50L,
  dtype = c("float32", "float64"),
  device = mlx_default_device()
)

Arguments

start

Starting value.

stop

Final value (inclusive).

num

Number of samples to generate.

dtype

Data type string. Supported types include:

  • Floating point: "float32", "float64"

  • Integer: "int8", "int16", "int32", "int64", "uint8", "uint16", "uint32", "uint64"

  • Other: "bool", "complex64"

Not all functions support all types. See individual function documentation.

device

Execution target: supply "gpu", "cpu", or an mlx_stream created via mlx_new_stream(). Defaults to the current mlx_default_device() unless noted otherwise (helpers that act on an existing array typically reuse that array's device or stream).

Value

A 1D mlx array.
