Operator ExpandToParallel

Operator Library: Base

The operator expands the input link I with parallelism 1 to an arbitrary parallelism at output link O. The input value is replicated/copied to each parallel stream. Set the new parallelism at the output link.

The performed operation can be described as combination of the existing operators BRANCH and MergeParallel:

In this example, an input link with parallism 1 is cloned to parallelism 4.

1

The range of the input bit width is:

  • For unsigned values: [1, 64]
  • For signed inputs: [2, 64]
  • For unsigned color inputs: [3, 63]
  • For signed color inputs: [6, 63]

2

The output maximum image width is determined by the input maximum image width and the output parallelism :

Parameters

None
