nrm2
====

Computes the Euclidean norm of a vector.

.. _onemkl_blas_nrm2_description:

.. rubric:: Description

The ``nrm2`` routines computes Euclidean norm of a vector

.. math:: 
   
      result = \| x\|   

where:

``x`` is a vector of ``n`` elements.

``nrm2`` supports the following precisions.

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

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

   .. rubric:: Input Parameters

   queue
      The queue where the routine should be executed.

   n
      Number of elements in vector ``x``.

   x
      Buffer holding input vector ``x``. The buffer must be of size at
      least (1 + (``n`` - 1)*abs(``incx``)). See :ref:`matrix-storage` for
      more details.

   incx
      Stride of vector ``x``.

.. container:: section

   .. rubric:: Output Parameters

   result
      Buffer where the Euclidean norm of the vector ``x`` will be
      stored.

   queue
      The queue where the routine should be executed.

   n
      Number of elements in vector ``x``.
