mult_matrix_mod (Operator)
mult_matrix_mod — Multiply two matrices.
Signature
Description
The operator mult_matrix computes the product of the input
matrices MatrixA and MatrixB defined by the
matrix handles MatrixAID and MatrixBID. The
input matrix MatrixA is overwritten with the result.
Access to the elements of the matrix is possible e.g., with the
operator get_full_matrix. If desired, one or both input
matrices will be transposed for the multiplication.
The type of multiplication can be selected via MultType:
- 'AB':
-
The matrices
MatrixAandMatrixBwill not be transposed. Therefore, the formula for the calculation of the result is:The number of columns of the matrix
MatrixAmust be identical to the number of rows of the matrixMatrixB.Example:
- 'ATB':
-
The matrix
MatrixAwill be transposed. The matrixMatrixBwill not be transposed. Therefore, the formula for the calculation of the result is:The number of rows of the matrix
MatrixAmust be identical to the number of rows of the matrixMatrixB.Example:
- 'ABT':
-
The matrix
MatrixAwill not be transposed. The matrixMatrixBwill be transposed. Therefore, the formula for the calculation of the result is:The number of columns of the matrix
MatrixAmust be identical to the number of columns of the matrixMatrixB.Example:
- 'ATBT':
-
The matrix
MatrixAand the matrixMatrixBwill be transposed. Therefore, the formula for the calculation of the result is:The number of rows of the matrix
MatrixAmust be identical to the number of columns of the matrixMatrixB.Example:
Execution Information
- Multithreading type: reentrant (runs in parallel with non-exclusive operators).
- Multithreading scope: global (may be called from any thread).
- Processed without parallelization.
This operator modifies the state of the following input parameter:
During execution of this operator, access to the value of this parameter must be synchronized if it is used across multiple threads.
Parameters
MatrixAID (input_control, state is modified) matrix → (handle)
Matrix handle of the input matrix A.
MatrixBID (input_control) matrix → (handle)
Matrix handle of the input matrix B.
MultType (input_control) string → (string)
Type of the input matrices.
Default: 'AB'
List of values: 'AB', 'ABT', 'ATB', 'ATBT'
Result
If the parameters are valid, the operator mult_matrix_mod
returns the value 2 (
H_MSG_TRUE)
. If necessary, an exception is raised.
Possible Predecessors
