Abstract
Mechanisms are provided for performing a tournament selection process of a computer function. A request is received to execute the computer function on an input vector data structure, where a result of the computer function is provided by executing the tournament selection process. The input vector data structure is received, comprising a plurality of values where each value corresponds to a vector slot. An index vector data structure is received that comprises indices of the vector slots of the input vector. Iteration(s) of the tournament selection process are executed to identify a value in the input vector satisfying a criterion of the computer function. An operation is performed on the index vector data structure to generate an indicator vector data structure that uniquely identifies a slot in the input vector data structure that is a result of the computer function being executed on the input vector data structure.
