Talk:Gather/scatter (vector addressing)

Sparse x?
Why is x called sparse and y called dense, although each value in x (x[i]) exists and is read/written, while not every value in y is, only the y(idx(i)) are?

I would expect x to be called dense and y to be sparse...

Agreed. I came here to say the same thing. You've persuaded me to change it. -- Ralph Corderoy (talk) 14:25, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

does anyone know how to make the disambiguation on register gather-scatter "proper", like the about bit is? Lkcl (talk) 22:51, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
