VEC_$MULT_VECTOR                  Domain/OS                   VEC_$MULT_VECTOR


NAME
     vec_$mult_vector - multiply two single-precision vectors

SYNOPSIS (C)
     #include <apollo/base.h>
     #include <apollo/vec.h>

     void vec_$mult_vector(
          float *start_vec,
          float *mult_vec,
          long int &length,
          float *result_vec)

SYNOPSIS (Pascal)
     %include '/sys/ins/base.ins.pas';
     %include '/sys/ins/vec.ins.pas';

     procedure vec_$mult_vector(
          in start_vec: univ vec_$real_vector;
          in mult_vec: univ vec_$real_vector;
          in length: integer32;
          out result_vec: univ vec_$real_vector);

SYNOPSIS (FORTRAN)
     %include '/sys/ins/base.ins.ftn'
     %include '/sys/ins/vec.ins.ftn'

           parameter (nvec = 10)

           real start_vec(nvec), result_vec(nvec), mult_vec(nvec)
           integer*4 length

           call vec_$mult_vector(start_vec, mult_vec, length, result_vec)

DESCRIPTION
     Vec_$mult_vector multiplies the vectors start_vec and  mult_vec and
     stores the final result in result_vec.  The calculation performed is as
     follows:

     For each integer I such that 1 <= I <= length,
     result_vec(I) = start_vec(I) x mult_vec(I)

     Note that the multiplication done by this call is point-wise.  This call
     does not perform matrix multiplication, since the product of two vectors
     is another vector of the same magnitude.

     start_vec
          A multiplier vector.

     mult_vec
          A multiplier vector.

     length
          The number of elements to be operated on;  normally the same as the
          number of elements in the vectors.

     result_vec
          The vector created by multiplying start_vec and mult_vec.

NOTES
     When vec_$mult_vector is used to operate on matrixes in C and Pascal,
     start_vec, mult_vec, and result_vec are row vectors; in FORTRAN, they are
     column vectors.

     As in all the vec_$ calls, the result array must not overlap any of the
     input arrays; the result array may be identical to an input, but must not
     contain any subset of it.   Because of pipelining, using overlapping
     input and output arrays may cause incorrect results.
