4.11 vmlsplu - Softplus activation

subroutine vmlsplu (n, y, incy, x, incx); 
subroutine vmlspluf(n, y, incy, x, incx); 
 
subroutine vmlsplu_64 (n, y, incy, x, incx); 
subroutine vmlspluf_64(n, y, incy, x, incx);

Given an input vector x and a result vector y this function computes the Softplus activation function of the values in the x vector and stores the result in the y vector.

y .=ln(1+ex)
4.11.1 Parameters

N - INTEGER

ENTRY: Number of elements of x and y.
CONSTRAINT: n ≥1.

Y - ARRAY OF REAL

EXIT: Result vector y.
CONSTRAINT: Must contain n× incy elements.
CONSTRAINT: Must not overlap with array x.

INCY - INTEGER

ENTRY: Stride for the vector y.
CONSTRAINT: incy̸= 0.
BEHAVIOR: A negative stride will traverse the array in reverse.

X - ARRAY OF REAL

ENTRY: Input vector x.
CONSTRAINT: Must contain n× incx elements.
CONSTRAINT: Must not overlap with array y.

INCX - INTEGER

ENTRY: Stride for the vector x.
CONSTRAINT: incx̸= 0.
BEHAVIOR: A negative stride will traverse the array in reverse.
