Chapter 6 Vectorized Code Generation

where
Y(i) is the ith output
U(i) is the ith input
GainParameter(i) is the ith gain value
i is the range <1..x>, where x is the number of outputs of the block
As you can see from the code generation, each of the ith elements of the
gain block is represented by a uniquely named variable. Therefore, the
basic equation is considered to be unrolled or code generated with scalars.
The second characteristic is the gain parameters. As you can see, those
values are hard-coded into the generated code instead of being represented
symbolically. With scalar code generation, constants are always
hard-coded.
Vectorized Gain Block Example
Before showing the code for the vectorized gain block, you need to know
what to look for and compare against the scalar code. First, look at the
implementation of the gain block in Example 6-2. Notice that the code is
rolled into a single for-loop. Also notice the use of arrays to access the data
and that gain parameter values are no longer hard-coded. The values appear
in the ubiquitous R_P array.

7.8, 8.9, 9.1, 10.11};
