SIMD.%type%.load()

The static SIMD.%type%.load() methods create a new SIMD data type with the lane values loaded from a typed array.

Syntax

SIMD.Float64x2.load(tarray, index)
SIMD.Float64x2.load1(tarray, index)
SIMD.Float32x4.load(tarray, index)
SIMD.Float32x4.load1(tarray, index)
SIMD.Float32x4.load2(tarray, index)
SIMD.Float32x4.load3(tarray, index)
SIMD.Int32x4.load(tarray, index)
SIMD.Int32x4.load1(tarray, index)
SIMD.Int32x4.load2(tarray, index)
SIMD.Int32x4.load3(tarray, index)
SIMD.Uint32x4.load(tarray, index)
SIMD.Uint32x4.load1(tarray, index)
SIMD.Uint32x4.load2(tarray, index)
SIMD.Uint32x4.load3(tarray, index) 
SIMD.Int8x16.load(tarray, index)
SIMD.Int16x8.load(tarray, index)
SIMD.Uint8x16.load(tarray, index) 
SIMD.Uint16x8.load(tarray, index)

Parameters

tarray

An instance of a typed array. This can be one of:

• Int8Array, Uint8Array, Uint8ClampedArray, Int16Array, Uint16Array, Int32Array, Uint32Array, Float32Array, or Float64Array.

index

A number for the index from where to start loading in the typed array.

Return value

A new SIMD data type.

Exceptions

• If index is out of range, for example SIMD.Int32x4.load(tarray, -1) or bigger than the size of tarray, a RangeError is thrown.
• If tarray is not one of the typed array types, for example SIMD.Int32x4.load(tarray.buffer, 0) (an array buffer is not valid), a TypeError is thrown.

Description

The SIMD load and store methods intermix with typed arrays. With load, you can pass in typed arrays into SIMD types and with store, SIMD data can be stored into typed arrays.

You can either load all lane values using load(), or only load one, two or three lane values with the methods load1(), load2() or load3().

Examples

The following examples use an Int32Array loaded into a SIMD.Int32x4 data type.

Loading all values

var a = new Int32Array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]);
SIMD.Int32x4.load(a, 0);
// Int32x4[1,2,3,4]
var b = new Int32Array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]);
SIMD.Int32x4.load(a, 2);
// Int32x4[3,4,5,6]

Loading a single value

var a = new Int32Array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]);
SIMD.Int32x4.load1(a, 0);
// Int32x4[1,0,0,0]
var b = new Int32Array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]);
SIMD.Int32x4.load1(a, 2);
// Int32x4[3,0,0,0]

Loading two values

var a = new Int32Array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]);
SIMD.Int32x4.load2(a, 0);
// Int32x4[1,2,0,0]
var b = new Int32Array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]);
SIMD.Int32x4.load2(a, 2);
// Int32x4[3,4,0,0]

Loading three values

var a = new Int32Array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]);
SIMD.Int32x4.load3(a, 0);
// Int32x4[1,2,3,0]
var b = new Int32Array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]);
SIMD.Int32x4.load3(a, 2);
// Int32x4[3,4,5,0]
