    About stdlib...
  </summary>
  <p>We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.</p>
  <p>The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.</p>
  <p>When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.</p>
  <p>To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on <a href="https://github.com/stdlib-js/stdlib">GitHub</a>, and please consider <a href="https://opencollective.com/stdlib">financially supporting stdlib</a>. We greatly appreciate your continued support!</p>

# dnanasumors

[![NPM version][npm-image]][npm-url] [![Build Status][test-image]][test-url] [![Coverage Status][coverage-image]][coverage-url] <!-- [![dependencies][dependencies-image]][dependencies-url] -->

> Calculate the sum of absolute values ([_L1_ norm][l1norm]) of double-precision floating-point strided array elements, ignoring `NaN` values and using ordinary recursive summation.

<section class="installation">

## Installation

```bash
npm install @stdlib/blas-ext-base-wasm-dnanasumors
```

</section>

<section class="usage">

## Usage

```javascript
var dnanasumors = require( '@stdlib/blas-ext-base-wasm-dnanasumors' );
```

#### dnanasumors.main( N, x, strideX )

Computes the sum of absolute values ([_L1_ norm][l1norm]) of double-precision floating-point strided array elements, ignoring `NaN` values and using ordinary recursive summation.

```javascript
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );

var x = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, -2.0, NaN, 2.0 ] );

var v = dnanasumors.main( x.length, x, 1 );
// returns 5.0
```

The function has the following parameters:

-   **N**: number of indexed elements.
-   **x**: input [`Float64Array`][@stdlib/array/float64].
-   **strideX**: stride length.

The `N` and stride parameters determine which elements in the strided array are accessed at runtime. For example, to compute the sum of absolute values ([_L1_ norm][l1norm]) for every other element:

```javascript
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );

var x = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, NaN, -7.0, NaN, 3.0, 4.0, 2.0 ] );

var sum = dnanasumors.main( 4, x, 2 );
// returns 5.0
```

Note that indexing is relative to the first index. To introduce an offset, use [`typed array`][mdn-typed-array] views.

<!-- eslint-disable stdlib/capitalized-comments -->

```javascript
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );

var x0 = new Float64Array( [ 2.0, 1.0, NaN, -2.0, -2.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ] );
var x1 = new Float64Array( x0.buffer, x0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element

var v = dnanasumors.main( 4, x1, 2 );
// returns 9.0
```

#### dnanasumors.ndarray( N, x, strideX, offsetX )

Computes the sum of absolute values ([_L1_ norm][l1norm]) of double-precision floating-point strided array elements, ignoring `NaN` values and using ordinary recursive summation and alternative indexing semantics.

```javascript
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );

var x = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, -2.0, NaN, 2.0 ] );

var v = dnanasumors.ndarray( x.length, x, 1, 0 );
// returns 5.0
```

The function has the following additional parameters:

-   **offsetX**: starting index.

While [`typed array`][mdn-typed-array] views mandate a view offset based on the underlying buffer, the offset parameter supports indexing semantics based on a starting index. For example, to calculate the sum of absolute values ([_L1_ norm][l1norm]) for every other value in the strided array starting from the second value:

```javascript
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );

var x = new Float64Array( [ 2.0, 1.0, NaN, -2.0, -2.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ] );

var v = dnanasumors.ndarray( 4, x, 2, 1 );
// returns 9.0
```

### Module

#### dnanasumors.Module( memory )

Returns a new WebAssembly [module wrapper][@stdlib/wasm/module-wrapper] instance which uses the provided WebAssembly [memory][@stdlib/wasm/memory] instance as its underlying memory.

<!-- eslint-disable node/no-sync -->

```javascript
var Memory = require( '@stdlib/wasm-memory' );

// Create a new memory instance with an initial size of 10 pages (640KiB) and a maximum size of 100 pages (6.4MiB):
var mem = new Memory({
    'initial': 10,
    'maximum': 100
});

// Create a BLAS routine:
var mod = new dnanasumors.Module( mem );
// returns <Module>

// Initialize the routine:
mod.initializeSync();
```

#### dnanasumors.Module.prototype.main( N, xp, sx )

Computes the sum of absolute values ([_L1_ norm][l1norm]) of double-precision floating-point strided array elements, ignoring `NaN` values and using ordinary recursive summation.

<!-- eslint-disable node/no-sync -->

```javascript
var Memory = require( '@stdlib/wasm-memory' );
var oneTo = require( '@stdlib/array-one-to' );
var zeros = require( '@stdlib/array-zeros' );

// Create a new memory instance with an initial size of 10 pages (640KiB) and a maximum size of 100 pages (6.4MiB):
var mem = new Memory({
    'initial': 10,
    'maximum': 100
});

// Create a BLAS routine:
var mod = new dnanasumors.Module( mem );
// returns <Module>

// Initialize the routine:
mod.initializeSync();

// Define a vector data type:
var dtype = 'float64';

// Specify a vector length:
var N = 3;

// Define a pointer (i.e., byte offset) for storing the input vector:
var xptr = 0;

// Write vector values to module memory:
mod.write( xptr, oneTo( N, dtype ) );

// Perform computation:
var v = mod.main( N, xptr, 1 );
// returns 6.0
```

The function has the following parameters:

-   **N**: number of indexed elements.
-   **xp**: input [`Float64Array`][@stdlib/array/float64] pointer (i.e., byte offset).
-   **sx**: stride length.

#### dnanasumors.Module.prototype.ndarray( N, xp, sx, ox )

Computes the sum of absolute values ([_L1_ norm][l1norm]) of double-precision floating-point strided array elements, ignoring `NaN` values and using ordinary recursive summation and alternative indexing semantics.

<!-- eslint-disable node/no-sync -->

```javascript
var Memory = require( '@stdlib/wasm-memory' );
var oneTo = require( '@stdlib/array-one-to' );
var zeros = require( '@stdlib/array-zeros' );

// Create a new memory instance with an initial size of 10 pages (640KiB) and a maximum size of 100 pages (6.4MiB):
var mem = new Memory({
    'initial': 10,
    'maximum': 100
});

// Create a BLAS routine:
var mod = new dnanasumors.Module( mem );
// returns <Module>

// Initialize the routine:
mod.initializeSync();

// Define a vector data type:
var dtype = 'float64';

// Specify a vector length:
var N = 3;

// Define a pointer (i.e., byte offset) for storing the input vector:
var xptr = 0;

// Write vector values to module memory:
mod.write( xptr, oneTo( N, dtype ) );

// Perform computation:
var v = mod.ndarray( N, xptr, 1, 0 );
// returns 6.0
```

The function has the following additional parameters:

-   **ox**: starting index.

## Notes

-   If `N <= 0`, both functions return `0.0`.
-   Ordinary recursive summation (i.e., a "simple" sum) is performant, but can incur significant numerical error. If performance is paramount and error tolerated, using ordinary recursive summation is acceptable; in all other cases, exercise due caution.
-   This package implements routines using WebAssembly. When provided arrays which are not allocated on a `dnanasumors` module memory instance, data must be explicitly copied to module memory prior to computation. Data movement may entail a performance cost, and, thus, if you are using arrays external to module memory, you should prefer using [`@stdlib/blas-ext/base/dnanasumors`][@stdlib/blas/ext/base/dnanasumors]. However, if working with arrays which are allocated and explicitly managed on module memory, you can achieve better performance when compared to the pure JavaScript implementations found in [`@stdlib/blas/ext/base/dnanasumors`][@stdlib/blas/ext/base/dnanasumors]. Beware that such performance gains may come at the cost of additional complexity when having to perform manual memory management. Choosing between implementations depends heavily on the particular needs and constraints of your application, with no one choice universally better than the other.

var v = dnanasumors.ndarray( x.length, x, 1, 0 );
console.log( v );
