    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>

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

> Perform the matrix-vector operation `y = α*A*x + β*y` where `α` and `β` are scalars, `x` and `y` are `N` element vectors and, `A` is an `N` by `N` symmetric matrix supplied in packed form.

<section class="installation">

## Installation

```bash
npm install @stdlib/blas-base-sspmv
```

</section>

<section class="usage">

## Usage

```javascript
var sspmv = require( '@stdlib/blas-base-sspmv' );
```

#### sspmv( order, uplo, N, α, AP, x, sx, β, y, sy )

Performs the matrix-vector operation `y = α*A*x + β*y` where `α` and `β` are scalars, `x` and `y` are `N` element vectors, and `A` is an `N` by `N` symmetric matrix supplied in packed form `AP`.

```javascript
var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float32' );

var AP = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ] );
var x = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 ] );
var y = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 ] );

sspmv( 'column-major', 'lower', 3, 1.0, AP, x, 1, 1.0, y, 1 );
// y => <Float32Array>[ 7.0, 12.0, 15.0 ]
```

The function has the following parameters:

-   **order**: storage layout.
-   **uplo**: specifies whether the upper or lower triangular part of the symmetric matrix `A` is supplied.
-   **N**: specifies the order of the matrix `A`.
-   **α**: scalar constant.
-   **AP**: packed form of a symmetric matrix `A` stored in linear memory as a [`Float32Array`][mdn-float32array].
-   **x**: input [`Float32Array`][mdn-float32array].
-   **sx**: index increment for `x`.
-   **β**: scalar constant.
-   **y**: output [`Float32Array`][mdn-float32array].
-   **sy**: index increment for `y`.

The stride parameters determine how elements in the input arrays are accessed at runtime. For example, to iterate over the elements of `y` in reverse order,

```javascript
var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float32' );

var AP = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ] );
var x = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 ] );
var y = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 ] );

sspmv( 'column-major', 'lower', 3, 1.0, AP, x, 1, 1.0, y, -1 );
// y => <Float32Array>[ 15.0, 12.0, 7.0 ]
```

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 Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float32' );

// Initial arrays...
var x0 = new Float32Array( [ 0.0, 1.0, 1.0 ] );
var y0 = new Float32Array( [ 0.0, 1.0, 1.0 ] );
var AP = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 ] );

// Create offset views...
var x1 = new Float32Array( x0.buffer, x0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element
var y1 = new Float32Array( y0.buffer, y0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element

sspmv( 'row-major', 'upper', 2, 1.0, AP, x1, -1, 1.0, y1, -1 );
// y0 => <Float32Array>[ 0.0, 6.0, 4.0 ]
```

#### sspmv.ndarray( order, uplo, N, α, AP, x, sx, ox, β, y, sy, oy )

Performs the matrix-vector operation `y = α*A*x + β*y` using alternative indexing semantics and where `α` and `β` are scalars, `x` and `y` are `N` element vectors, and `A` is an `N` by `N` symmetric matrix supplied in packed form `AP`.

```javascript
var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float32' );

var AP = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ] );
var x = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 ] );
var y = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 ] );

sspmv.ndarray( 'column-major', 'lower', 3, 1.0, AP, x, 1, 0, 1.0, y, 1, 0 );
// y => <Float32Array>[ 7.0, 12.0, 15.0 ]
```

The function has the following additional parameters:

-   **ox**: starting index for `x`.
-   **oy**: starting index for `y`.

While [`typed array`][mdn-typed-array] views mandate a view offset based on the underlying buffer, the offset parameters support indexing semantics based on starting indices. For example,

```javascript
var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float32' );

var AP = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ] );
var x = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 ] );
var y = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 ] );

sspmv.ndarray( 'column-major', 'lower', 3, 1.0, AP, x, 1, 0, 1.0, y, -1, 2 );
// y => <Float32Array>[ 15.0, 12.0, 7.0 ]
```
