Performs a scan with an associative binary operation, in parallel.

This operation his similar to op_scan(), with the key difference that op_associative_scan() is a parallel implementation with potentially significant performance benefits, especially when jit compiled. The catch is that it can only be used when f is a binary associative operation (i.e. it must verify f(a, f(b, c)) == f(f(a, b), c)).

For an introduction to associative scans, refer to this paper: Blelloch, Guy E. 1990. Prefix Sums and Their Applications.

Usage

op_associative_scan(f, elems, reverse = FALSE, axis = 1L)

Arguments

f: A callable implementing an associative binary operation with signature r = f(a, b). Function f must be associative, i.e., it must satisfy the equation f(a, f(b, c)) == f(f(a, b), c). The inputs and result are (possibly nested tree structures of) array(s) matching elems. Each array has a dimension in place of the axis dimension. f should be applied elementwise over the axis dimension. The result r has the same shape (and structure) as the two inputs a and b.
elems: A (possibly nested tree structure of) array(s), each with an axis dimension of size num_elems.
reverse: A boolean stating if the scan should be reversed with respect to the axis dimension.
axis: an integer identifying the axis over which the scan should occur.

Value

A (possibly nested tree structure of) array(s) of the same shape and structure as elems, in which the k'th element of axis is the result of recursively applying f to combine the first k elements of elems along axis. For example, given elems = list(a, b, c, ...), the result would be list(a, f(a, b), f(f(a, b), c), ...).

Examples

sum_fn <- function(x, y) x + y
xs <- op_arange(5L)
op_associative_scan(sum_fn, xs)

## tf.Tensor([ 1  3  6 10 15], shape=(5), dtype=int32)

sum_fn <- function(x, y) {
  str(list(x = x, y = y))
  map2(x, y, \(.x, .y) .x + .y)
}

xs <- list(op_array(1:2),
           op_array(1:2),
           op_array(1:2))
ys <- op_associative_scan(sum_fn, xs, axis = 1)

## List of 2
##  $ x:List of 3
##   ..$ :<tf.Tensor: shape=(1), dtype=int32, numpy=array([1], dtype=int32)>
