Deprecate scale #248
Comments
Would multiplication by a scalar get dispatched to blas, or have the same level of simd? |
@tkelman, I don't see why it couldn't be implemented that way. I agree that |
I also think it doesn't matter much whether this is handled by BLAS or by a pure Julia implementation. The dominating factor is probably memory access (and simd), but all the fancy multithreading won't help that much. At least that's the experience I had from some simple comparison a while ago, but I might certainly be misremembering. |
When 0.4 has been tagged. I think we should deprecate the
scale
functions (without exclamation marks) in favor of just using multiplication. At least for scaling with a scalar, but I also would preferA*Diagonal(x)
overscale(A,x)
for scaling with a vectorx
