S3L_reduce_axis applies a predefined reduction operation along a given axis of a parallel S3L array. If n is the rank (number of dimensions) of a, the result b is a parallel array of rank n-1. The argument op specifies the operation to be performed. The value of op must be one of:
S3L_OP_SUM - The sum reduction operation is applied.
S3L_OP_MIN - The minimum reduction operation is applied.
S3L_OP_MAX - The maximum reduction operation is applied.
