GUINT8

Back to Function List, Jacket Basics

Convert to unsigned 8-bit integer on GPU

Usage

Jacket for M Language

Supported Syntax

A = guint8(B)

GFOR Supported	Yes
GCOMPILE Supported	No
Types Supported	- GDOUBLE GSINGLE GLOGICAL GINT32 GINT8 GUINT32 GUINT8 COMPLEX
Types Not Supported	-
CPU usage	Jacket only contains GPU computing functions. To run functions on the CPU, try one of the MathWorks products: http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/techdoc/ref/uint8.html
More Details	Use the standard MATLAB conversions to return data to the CPU (see below). Examples Usage: A = guint8(rand(4) + 8); B = (A + 4)/9; C = uint8(B); bring back to CPU

Some arithmetic operations are defined for GUINT8 on interaction with other GUINT8 arrays. For instance, +, -, * are supported for use. But for the most part, support for GUINT8 is preliminary at present.
All subsequent computations on A are performed on the graphics card (GPU).
Actual GPU computation is delayed until the results are requested.
