Zeros shaped like an existing mlx array

Source: R/create.R
mlx_zeros_like.Rd

mlx_zeros_like() mirrors mlx.core.zeros_like(): it creates a zero-filled array matching the source array's shape. Optionally override the dtype or dtype.

Usage

mlx_zeros_like(x, dtype = NULL)

Arguments

x

An mlx array.

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.

Value

An mlx array of zeros matching x.

Details

MLX does not support float64 operations on GPU. When this function creates a float64 array or converts one back to R, Rmlx temporarily switches only that internal creation or layout work to CPU. Later operations on the returned array still use the current mlx_device().

Examples

base <- mlx_ones(c(2, 2))
mlx_zeros_like(base)
#> mlx array [2 x 2]
#>   dtype: float32
#>   values:
#>      [,1] [,2]
#> [1,]    0    0
#> [2,]    0    0
