Entry point to compute max values.

.. _onemkl_stats_max_description:

.. rubric:: Description and Assumptions

The oneapi::mkl::stats::max function is used to compute a max values arrays (max value for each dataset's dimension).

:ref:`onemkl_stats_max` supports the following precisions for data:

    .. list-table::
        :header-rows: 1

        * - T
        * - ``float``
        * - ``double``


.. _onemkl_stats_max_buffer:

max (buffer version)
--------------------

.. rubric:: Syntax

.. code-block:: cpp

    namespace oneapi::mkl::stats {
    template<method Method = method::fast, typename Type, layout ObservationsLayout>
        void max(sycl::queue& queue,
        const dataset<ObservationsLayout, sycl::buffer<Type, 1>>& data,
        sycl::buffer<Type, 1> max);
    }

.. container:: section

    .. rubric:: Template Parameters

    Method
        Method which is used for estimate computation. The specific values are as follows:

        *  ``oneapi::mkl::stats::method::fast``

    Type
        Data precision.

    ObservationsLayout
        Data layout. The specific values are described in :ref:`onemkl_stats_dataset`.

.. container:: section

    .. rubric:: Input Parameters

    queue
        The queue where the routine should be executed.

    data
        Dataset which is used for computation.

.. container:: section

    .. rubric:: Output Parameters

    max
        sycl::buffer array of max values.

.. container:: section

    .. rubric:: Throws

    oneapi::mkl::invalid_argument
        Exception is thrown when max.get_count() == 0, or dataset object is invalid

.. _onemkl_stats_max_usm:

max (USM version)
-----------------

.. rubric:: Syntax

.. code-block:: cpp

    namespace oneapi::mkl::stats {
    template<method Method = method::fast, typename Type, layout ObservationsLayout>
        sycl::event max(sycl::queue& queue,
        const dataset<ObservationsLayout, Type*>& data,
        Type* max,
        const std::vector<sycl::event> &dependencies = {});
    }

.. container:: section

    .. rubric:: Template Parameters

    Method
        Method which is used for estimate computation. The specific values are as follows:

        *  ``oneapi::mkl::stats::method::fast``

    Type
        Data precision.

    ObservationsLayout

    .. rubric:: Input Parameters

    queue
        The queue where the routine should be executed.

    data
        Dataset which is used for computation.

    dependencies
        Optional parameter. List of events to wait for before starting computation, if any.

.. container:: section

    .. rubric:: Output Parameters

    max
        Pointer to the array of max values.

.. container:: section

    .. rubric:: Throws

    oneapi::mkl::invalid_argument
        Exception is thrown when max == nullptr, or dataset object is invalid

.. container:: section

    .. rubric:: Return Value

    Output event to wait on to ensure computation is complete.
