Functions

template<typename ExPolicy, typename RanIter, typename RanIter2, typename FwdIter1, typename FwdIter2, typename Compare = std::equal_to<typename std::iterator_traits<RanIter>::value_type>, typename Func = std::plus<typename std::iterator_traits<RanIter2>::value_type>>
util::detail::algorithm_result<ExPolicy, util::in_out_result<FwdIter1, FwdIter2>>::type reduce_by_key(ExPolicy &&policy, RanIter key_first, RanIter key_last, RanIter2 values_first, FwdIter1 keys_output, FwdIter2 values_output, Compare &&comp = Compare(), Func &&func = Func())#

Reduce by Key performs an inclusive scan reduction operation on elements supplied in key/value pairs. The algorithm produces a single output value for each set of equal consecutive keys in [key_first, key_last). the value being the GENERALIZED_NONCOMMUTATIVE_SUM(op, init, *first, …, *(first + (i - result))). for the run of consecutive matching keys. The number of keys supplied must match the number of values.

comp has to induce a strict weak ordering on the values.

The application of function objects in parallel algorithm invoked with an execution policy object of type sequenced_policy execute in sequential order in the calling thread.

The application of function objects in parallel algorithm invoked with an execution policy object of type parallel_policy or parallel_task_policy are permitted to execute in an unordered fashion in unspecified threads, and indeterminately sequenced within each thread.

Note

Complexity: O(last - first) applications of the predicate op.

Template Parameters

  • ExPolicy – The type of the execution policy to use (deduced). It describes the manner in which the execution of the algorithm may be parallelized and the manner in which it applies user-provided function objects.

  • RanIter – The type of the key iterators used (deduced). This iterator type must meet the requirements of a random access iterator.

  • RanIter2 – The type of the value iterators used (deduced). This iterator type must meet the requirements of a random access iterator.

  • FwdIter1 – The type of the iterator representing the destination key range (deduced). This iterator type must meet the requirements of a forward iterator.

  • FwdIter2 – The type of the iterator representing the destination value range (deduced). This iterator type must meet the requirements of a forward iterator.

  • Compare – The type of the optional function/function object to use to compare keys (deduced). Assumed to be std::equal_to otherwise.

  • Func – The type of the function/function object to use (deduced). Unlike its sequential form, the parallel overload of reduce_by_key requires Func to meet the requirements of CopyConstructible.

Parameters

  • policy – The execution policy to use for the scheduling of the iterations.

  • key_first – Refers to the beginning of the sequence of key elements the algorithm will be applied to.

  • key_last – Refers to the end of the sequence of key elements the algorithm will be applied to.

  • values_first – Refers to the beginning of the sequence of value elements the algorithm will be applied to.

  • keys_output – Refers to the start output location for the keys produced by the algorithm.

  • values_output – Refers to the start output location for the values produced by the algorithm.

  • comp – comp is a callable object. The return value of the INVOKE operation applied to an object of type Comp, when contextually converted to bool, yields true if the first argument of the call is less than the second, and false otherwise. It is assumed that comp will not apply any non-constant function through the dereferenced iterator.

  • func – Specifies the function (or function object) which will be invoked for each of the elements in the sequence specified by [first, last). This is a binary predicate. The signature of this predicate should be equivalent to: 

    Ret fun(const Type1 &a, const Type1 &b);
    The signature does not need to have const&. The types Type1 Ret must be such that an object of type FwdIter can be dereferenced and then implicitly converted to any of those types.

Returns

The reduce_by_key algorithm returns a hpx::future<pair<Iter1,Iter2>> if the execution policy is of type sequenced_task_policy or parallel_task_policy and returns pair<Iter1,Iter2> otherwise.
