NVCC does not understand `__forceinline`, so we need to use `inline`
when compiling for GPU.
ICC specializes `std::complex` operators for `float` and `double`
by default, which cannot be used on device and conflict with Eigen's
workaround in CUDA/Complex.h. This can be prevented by defining
`_OVERRIDE_COMPLEX_SPECIALIZATION_` before including `<complex>`.
Added this define to the tests and to `Eigen/Core`, but this will
not work if the user includes `<complex>` before `<Eigen/Core>`.
ICC also seems to generate a duplicate `Map` symbol in
`PlainObjectBase`:
```
error: "Map" has already been declared in the current scope
static ConstMapType Map(const Scalar *data)
```
I tracked this down to `friend class Eigen::Map`. Putting the `friend`
statements at the bottom of the class seems to resolve this issue.
Fixes#2180
NVCC and older versions of clang do not fully support `std::complex` on device,
leading to either compile errors (Cannot call `__host__` function) or worse,
runtime errors (Illegal instruction). For most functions, we can
implement specialized `numext` versions. Here we specialize the standard
operators (with the exception of stream operators and member function operators
with a scalar that are already specialized in `<complex>`) so they can be used
in device code as well.
To import these operators into the current scope, use
`EIGEN_USING_STD_COMPLEX_OPERATORS`. By default, these are imported into
the `Eigen`, `Eigen:internal`, and `Eigen::numext` namespaces.
This allow us to remove specializations of the
sum/difference/product/quotient ops, and allow us to treat complex
numbers like most other scalars (e.g. in tests).
MSVC incorrectly handles `inf` cases for `std::sqrt<std::complex<T>>`.
Here we replace it with a custom version (currently used on GPU).
Also fixed the `packetmath` test, which previously skipped several
corner cases since `CHECK_CWISE1` only tests the first `PacketSize`
elements.
This is to support scalar `sqrt` of complex numbers `std::complex<T>` on
device, requested by Tensorflow folks.
Technically `std::complex` is not supported by NVCC on device
(though it is by clang), so the default `sqrt(std::complex<T>)` function only
works on the host. Here we create an overload to add back the
functionality.
Also modified the CMake file to add `--relaxed-constexpr` (or
equivalent) flag for NVCC to allow calling constexpr functions from
device functions, and added support for specifying compute architecture for
NVCC (was already available for clang).
In addition to igamma(a, x), this code implements:
* igamma_der_a(a, x) = d igamma(a, x) / da -- derivative of igamma with respect to the parameter
* gamma_sample_der_alpha(alpha, sample) -- reparameterization derivative of a Gamma(alpha, 1) random variable sample with respect to the alpha parameter
The derivatives are computed by forward mode differentiation of the igamma(a, x) code. Although gamma_sample_der_alpha can be implemented via igamma_der_a, a separate function is more accurate and efficient due to analytical cancellation of some terms. All three functions are implemented by a method parameterized with "mode" that always computes the derivatives, but does not return them unless required by the mode. The compiler is expected to (and, based on benchmarks, does) skip the unnecessary computations depending on the mode.
The functions are conventionally called i0e and i1e. The exponentially scaled version is more numerically stable. The standard Bessel functions can be obtained as i0(x) = exp(|x|) i0e(x)
The code is ported from Cephes and tested against SciPy.
