Compute the cumulative sum along the specified dimension of the input

Description

The Cumulative Sum block computes the cumulative sum of the input signal along the specified dimension or across time (running sum). The output signal has the same dimensions, data type and complexity as the input signal.

Summing is performed in this way:

  • Summing along Rows: If the block is configured for cumulative sum along rows, each element in the output signal is the sum of the corresponding element in the input and all of the elements in the same row and to the left of that element. If the input is 1-dimensional, each element in the output signal is the sum of the corresponding element in the input and all of the preceding elements.
  • Summing along Columns: If the block is configured for cumulative sum along columns, each element in the output signal is the sum of the corresponding element in the input and all of the elements in the same column and above of that element. If the input is 1-dimensional, each element in the output signal is the sum of the corresponding element in the input and all of the preceding elements.
  • Running sum: If the block is configured for running sum, each element in the output signal is the sum of the corresponding element in the input signal over time. In this case you can specify an optional reset port and restart the running sum when the reset signal is asserted.

Data Type Support

Data type support is:

  • Data input: The data In input is the data signal to be summed. It supports integer, fixed point and floating-point data types but not boolean. The signal can be complex or real. The signal can be a scalar, vector or matrix.
  • Reset: The Reset input is applicable only for running sum with non-default reset type. The reset signal must be scalar and real, and its data type must be integer or floating-point. Fixed point data type is not supported.
  • Output: The data type, dimension and complexity of the output signal are the same as those of input signal.

Parameters

Sum input along

This parameter specifies the dimension along which sum elements are computed.

Settings for the Sum input along parameter are:

Table 1. Sum Input Along Parameter
Setting Description
Columns The block computes the cumulative sum of each column of the input.
Rows The block computes the cumulative sum of each row of the input.
Channels (running sum) The block computes a running sum for each element of the input across time. When you select the Channels (running sum) option, you will also have to specify a Reset port parameter.

Reset port

This parameter applies only to running sum. The Reset port parameter appears if you select Channels (running sum) for the Sum input along parameter.

Settings for the Reset port parameter are:

Table 2. Reset Port Paremeter
Setting Description
None Omits the Reset port.
Non-zero sample Triggers a reset operation at each sample time that the Reset input is not zero.
