    // Type specific horizontal reductions

    
Returns a value accumulated from all the lanes of this vector.
This is an associative cross-lane reduction operation which
applies the specified operation to all the lane elements.

A few reduction operations do not support arbitrary reordering
of their operands, yet are included here because of their
usefulness.

 In the case of FIRST_NONZERO, the reduction returns the value from the lowest-numbered non-zero lane. 

All other reduction operations are fully commutative and
associative.  The implementation can choose any order of
processing, yet it will always produce the same result.

Params:
op – the operation used to combine lane values

UnsupportedOperationException – if this vector does
        not support the requested operation

Returns a value accumulated from selected lanes of this vector,
controlled by a mask.
This is an associative cross-lane reduction operation which
applies the specified operation to the selected lane elements.

If no elements are selected, an operation-specific identity
value is returned.

 If the operation is ADD, XOR, OR, or FIRST_NONZERO, then the identity value is zero, the default short value. 
 If the operation is MUL, then the identity value is one. 
 If the operation is AND, then the identity value is minus one (all bits set). 
 If the operation is MAX, then the identity value is Short.MIN_VALUE. 
 If the operation is MIN, then the identity value is Short.MAX_VALUE.

Scatters this vector into an array of type short[], under the control of a mask, and using indexes obtained by adding a fixed offset to a series of secondary offsets from an index map. The index map is a contiguous sequence of VLENGTH elements in a second array of ints, starting at a given mapOffset. 
 For each vector lane, where N is the vector lane index, if the mask lane at index N is set then the lane element at index N is stored into the array element a[f(N)], where f(N) is the index mapping expression offset + indexMap[mapOffset + N]]. 
Params:
a – the array
offset – an offset to combine with the index map offsets
indexMap – the index map
mapOffset – the offset into the index map
m – the mask
Throws:
IndexOutOfBoundsException –  if mapOffset+N < 0 or if mapOffset+N >= indexMap.length, or if f(N)=offset+indexMap[mapOffset+N] is an invalid index into a, for any lane N in the vector where the mask is set
