Inf

Array of infinity

Syntax

A = Inf(sz,arraytype)
A = Inf(sz,datatype,arraytype)

A = Inf(sz,'like',P)
A = Inf(sz,datatype,'like',P)

C = Inf(sz,codist)
C = Inf(sz,datatype,codist)
C = Inf(sz,___,codist,'noCommunication')
C = Inf(sz,___,codist,'like',P)

Description

A = Inf(sz,arraytype)creates a matrix with underlying class of double, withInfvalues in all elements.

A = Inf(sz,datatype,arraytype)creates a matrix with underlying class ofdatatype, withInfvalues in all elements.

The size and type of array are specified by the argument options according to the following table.

Argument Values Descriptions
sz n Specifies size as ann-by-nmatrix.
m,nor[m n] Specifies size as anm-by-nmatrix.
m,n,...,kor[m n ... k] Specifies size as anm-by-n-by-...-by-karray.
arraytype 'distributed' Specifies distributed array.
'codistributed' Specifies codistributed array, using the default distribution scheme.
'gpuArray' Specifies gpuArray.
datatype 'double'(default),'single' Specifies underlying class of the array, i.e., the data type of its elements.

A = Inf(sz,'like',P)creates an array ofInfvalues with the same type and underlying class (data type) as arrayP.

A = Inf(sz,datatype,'like',P)creates an array ofInfvalues with the specified underlying class (datatype), and the same type as arrayP.

C = Inf(sz,codist)orC = Inf(sz,datatype,codist)creates a codistributed array ofInfvalues with the specified size and underlying class (the defaultdatatypeis'double'). The codistributor objectcodistspecifies the distribution scheme for creating the codistributed array. For information on constructing codistributor objects, see the reference pages forcodistributor1dandcodistributor2dbc. To use the default distribution scheme, you can specify a codistributor constructor without arguments. For example:

spmd C = Inf(8,codistributor1d()); end

C = Inf(sz,___,codist,'noCommunication')specifies that no interworker communication is to be performed when constructing a codistributed array, skipping some error checking steps.

C = Inf(sz,___,codist,'like',P)creates a codistributed array ofInfvalues with the specified size, underlying class, and distribution scheme. If either the class or codistributor argument is omitted, the characteristic is acquired from the codistributed arrayP.

Examples

Create Distributed Inf Matrix

Create a 1000-by-1000 distributed array ofInfs with underlying class double:

D = Inf(1000,'distributed');

Create Codistributed Inf Matrix

Create a 1000-by-1000 codistributed double matrix ofInfs, distributed by its second dimension (columns).

spmd(4) C = Inf(1000,'codistributed');end

With four workers, each worker contains a 1000-by-250 local piece ofC.

Create a 1000-by-1000 codistributedsinglematrix ofInfs, distributed by its columns.

spmd(4) codist = codistributor('1d',2,100*[1:numlabs]); C = Inf(1000,1000,'single',codist);end

Each worker contains a 100-by-labindexlocal piece ofC.

Create gpuArray Inf Matrix

Create a 1000-by-1000 gpuArray ofInfs with underlying classdouble:

G = Inf(1000,'double','gpuArray');
