Description
f16jnc
computes the largest component,
r
, of an
n
-element real vector
x
, and determines the smallest index,
k
, such that
r
=
x
k
=
max

5
Arguments
1:
n
–
Integer
Input
On entry
:
n
, the number of elements in
x
.
Constraint
:
n
≥
0
.
2:
x
[
dim
]
–
const double
Input
Note:
the dimension,
dim
, of the array
x
must be at least
max
(
1
,
1
+
(
n
-
1
)
×
|
incx
|
)
.
On entry
: the
n
-element vector
x
.
If
incx
>
0
,
x
i
must be stored in
x
[
(
i
-
1
)
×
incx
]
, for
i
=
1
,
2
,
…
,
n
.
If
incx
<
0
,
x
i
must be stored in
x
[
(
n
-
i
)
×
|
incx
|
]
, for
i
=
1
,
2
,
…
,
n
.
Intermediate elements of
x
are not referenced. If
n
=
0
,
x
is not referenced and may be
NULL
.
3:
incx
–
Integer
Input
On entry
: the increment in the subscripts of
x
between successive elements of
x
.
Constraint
:
incx
≠
0
.
4:
k
–
Integer *
Output
On exit
:
k
, the index, from the set
{
0
,
1
,
…
,
n
-
1
}
, of the largest component of
x
. If
n
=
0
on input then
k
is returned as
−1
.
5:
r
–
double *
Output
On exit
:
r
, the largest component of
x
. If
n
=
0
on input then
r
is returned as
0.0
.
6:
fail
–
NagError *
Input/Output
The NAG error argument (see
Section 7
in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface).

Error Indicators and Warnings
NE_ALLOC_FAIL
Dynamic memory allocation failed.
See
Section 3.1.2
in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface for further information.
NE_BAD_PARAM
On entry, argument
⟨
value
⟩
had an illegal value.
NE_INT
On entry,
incx
=
⟨
value
⟩
.
Constraint:
incx
≠
0
.
On entry,
n
=
⟨
value
⟩
.
Constraint:
n
≥
0
.
NE_NO_LICENCE
Your licence key may have expired or may not have been installed correctly.
See
Section 8
in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface for further information.
7
Accuracy
The BLAS standard requires accurate implementations which avoid unnecessary over/underflow (see Section 2.7 of
Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms Technical (BLAST) Forum (2001)
).
8
Parallelism and Performance
Background information to multithreading can be found in the
Multithreading
documentation.
f16jnc
is not threaded in any implementation.
9
Further Comments
None.
