Atomic Vector Element-wise Operators: Example and Test
######################################################

Syntax
******
| ``atomic_vector_op`` *vec_op* ( *name* )
| *vec_op* ( *op* , *x* , *y* )

op
**
The value *op* has the following possible values:
{xrst_literal
   include/cppad/example/atomic_four/vector/vector.hpp
   // BEGIN op_enum_t
   // END op_enum_t
}

Purpose
*******
This atomic function class can be used as a general purpose utility.
It is unclear how much benefit there is do doing so.
This is because the number of operations internal to an element-wise
atomic function is not much more than the work required to pass the
arguments to the atomic function.

Vector Operations
=================
This atomic function unary operations

   *y* = *op* ( ``u`` )

and binary operations

   *y* = *u* *op* *v*

where *op* , *u* and *v* are defined below.

atomic_four
===========
This example demonstrates all the callbacks for an
:ref:`atomic_four-name` function.

base2ad
=======
It include examples for how one can
define ``AD`` < *Base* > atomic operations using atomic operators.
This avoids expanding the atomic operator to an operator for each element
when recording derivative calculations.
For example, notice the difference between ``forward_add``
for the ``double`` and the ``AD<double>`` cases
(note that copying an AD variable does not create a new variable):
{xrst_literal
   include/cppad/example/atomic_four/vector/add_op.hpp
   // BEGIN forward_add
   // END forward_add
}

x
*
We use *x* to denote the argument to the atomic function.
The length of *x* is denoted by *n* .

m
*
This is the length of the vectors in the operations.
In the case of unary (binary) operators
*m* = *n*  ( *m* = *n*  / 2 ).

u
*
We use *u* to denote the following sub-vector of *x* :

   *u* = ( *x* [1] , ... , *x* [ *m* ] )

v
*
For binary operators,
we use *v* to denote the following sub-vector of *x* :

   *v* = ( *x* [ *m* + 1] , ... , *x* [2 * *m* ] )

y
*
We use *y* to denote the atomic function return value.
The length of *y* is equal to *m* .

AD<double>
**********
During ``AD<double>`` operations, copying variables
from one vector to another does not add any operations to the
resulting tape.
