.. _onemkl_blas_copy_batch:

copy_batch
==========

Computes a group of ``copy`` operations.

.. _onemkl_blas_copy_batch_description:

.. rubric:: Description

The ``copy_batch`` routines are batched versions of :ref:`onemkl_blas_copy`, performing
multiple ``copy`` operations in a single call. Each ``copy`` 
operation copies one vector to another.
   
``copy_batch`` supports the following precisions for data.

   .. list-table:: 
      :header-rows: 1

      * -  T 
      * -  ``float`` 
      * -  ``double`` 
      * -  ``std::complex<float>`` 
      * -  ``std::complex<double>`` 

.. _onemkl_blas_copy_batch_buffer:

copy_batch (Buffer Version)
---------------------------

.. rubric:: Description

The buffer version of ``copy_batch`` supports only the strided API. 

The strided API operation is defined as:
::
  
   for i = 0 … batch_size – 1
      X and Y are vectors at offset i * stridex, i * stridey in x and y
      Y := X
   end for

where:

``X`` and ``Y`` are vectors.

copy_batch (USM Version)
------------------------

.. rubric:: Description

The USM version of ``copy_batch`` supports the group API and strided API. 

The group API operation is defined as
::
   
   idx = 0
   for i = 0 … group_count – 1
       for j = 0 … group_size – 1
           X and Y are vectors in x[idx] and y[idx]
           Y := X
           idx := idx + 1
       end for
   end for

The strided API operation is defined as
::
   
   for i = 0 … batch_size – 1
      X and Y are vectors at offset i * stridex, i * stridey in x and y
      Y := X
   end for

where:

``X`` and ``Y`` are vectors.

For group API, ``x`` and ``y`` arrays contain the pointers for all the input vectors. 
The total number of vectors in ``x`` and ``y`` are given by:

.. math::

      total\_batch\_count = \sum_{i=0}^{group\_count-1}group\_size[i]    

For strided API, ``x`` and ``y`` arrays contain all the input vectors. 
The total number of vectors in ``x`` and ``y`` are given by the ``batch_size`` parameter.
