Div

Function Div

The Div function performs element by element division.

Performance:

	Default processor	Intel® Pentium® III processor	Intel® Pentium® 4 processor	Intel® Pentium® 4 processor with Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 (SSE3)	Intel® Itanium® 2 processor
vsDiv (HA version)	14.60	11.17	9.84	10.35	4.13
vdDiv (HA version)	16.25	16.29	11.64	14.34	5.27

Notes:
1) Units - CPE (Clocks per Element)
2) Performance was measured on "working" interval (double precision: [-1,1]; single precision: [-1,1] )
3) Data - vectors of 1000 elements with random generated numbers
4) "Default" means X87 code for all IA-32 processors
5) Performance of "default" version was measured on Intel® Pentium® III processor

Notes:
1) *           X87 code for all processors
2) **         Intel® Pentium® III processor
3) ***       Intel® Pentium® 4 processor
4) ****     Intel® Pentium® 4 processor with Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 (SSE3)
5) ***** Intel® Itanium® 2 processor
6) Logarithmic scale is used for "Vectors Size" axis

Maximal observed error for the whole function domain:

	Default processor	Pentium III processor	Pentium 4 processor	Pentium 4 processor with SSE3	Itanium 2 processor
vsDiv (HA version)	0.5000	0.5000	0.5000	0.5000	0.5000
vdDiv (HA version)	0.4990	0.4990	0.4990	0.4990	0.5000

Notes:
1) Units - ULP (Units in The Last Place)

Special values:

Function	Input Argument	Result	Default processor	Pentium III processor	Pentium 4 processor	Pentium 4 processor with SSE3	Itanium 2 processor
vsDiv/vdDiv (HA version)	0, 0	NaN (Raise DZ Exeption)	+	+	+	+	+
	NaN (Both QNaN and SNaN)	NaN (Raise Invalid Exeption for SNaN)	+	+	+	+	+
	0 / (+/-)Inf	0	+	+	+	+	+
	(+/-)Inf / (+/-)Inf	NaN (Raise DZ Exeption)	+	+	+	+	+
	(+/-)Inf / 0	(+/-)Inf	+	+	+	+	+
	x / x for all non-special x	1	+	+	+	+	+
