Reduction XOR - 2022.2 English

Compute bitwise XOR of the elements of the input over all dimensions or over a specified dimension

Library

Logic and Bit Operations

Description

The Reduction XOR block has one input signal and one output signal. It computes the bitwise exclusive OR (XOR) of the elements of the input signal over all of the dimensions or over a specified dimension. The data type of the output signal is the same as that of the input signal. The dimension of the output signals depends on whether the reduction takes place over all dimensions or over a specified dimension.

Reduce over all dimensions

The output is a scalar and it is the bitwise XOR of all of the elements of the input signal.

Reduce over dimension 1

The output is a row vector (2-D) with as many elements as the number of columns of the input. Each element in the output is the bitwise XOR reduction of the elements of the corresponding column of the input.

Reduce over dimension 2

The output is a column vector (2-D) containing as many elements as the number of rows of the input. Each element in the output is the bitwise XOR reduction of the elements of the corresponding row of the input.

In the example below a 2x3 input signal of type int8 feeds into three different configurations of the Reduction XOR block.

Data Type Support

• The input signal can be of any data type except for floating point types.
• The input signal must be real.
• The input signal must be a matrix if reduction is along dimension 2.
• The input signal can be a matrix, vector or scalar if reduction is along all dimensions or along dimension 1.

Parameters

Reduce over

This parameter specifies whether reduction takes place over all dimensions or over a specified dimension. If reduction is specified over all dimensions, the output signal is a scalar.

Settings for the Reduce over parameter are:

Table 1. Reduce Over Parameter

Setting	Description
All dimensions	Reduction takes place over all dimensions.
Specified dimension	Reduction takes place over the dimension specified by the Dimension parameter.

Dimension

If the Reduce over parameter is set to Specified dimension, the Dimension parameter specifies over which dimension reduction takes place.

• If the input signal has dimensions M x N and the reduction Dimension is 1, the output has dimensions 1 x N.
• If the input signal has dimensions M x N and the reduction Dimension is 2, the output has dimensions M x 1.
• If the input signal is scalar or 1 x 1, the output dimension is 1 x 1.

Settings for the Dimension parameter are:

Setting	Description
1	Reduce over row dimension.
2	Reduce over column dimension.
