Function

  • Description: Takes the global mean and the reciprocal of the standard deviation as operator inputs, and performs BatchNorm computation on x. This operator is an element-wise BatchNorm operation function used to normalize input data in certain specific scenarios. Compared with aclnnBatchNorm, aclnnBatchNormElemt may be adjusted for specific hardware or optimization requirements.

  • Formula:

    y=(x−E[x])Var(x)+ε∗weight+biasy = \frac{(x-E[x])}{\sqrt{Var(x)+ ε}} * weight + bias

    The relationship between standard deviation and variance is as follows:

    1S=1Var(x)+eps\frac{1}{S} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{Var(x) + eps}}

Function Prototype

Each operator is divided into a two-phase API. You must first call the "aclnnBatchNormElemtGetWorkspaceSize" API to obtain the input parameters and calculate the required workspace size based on the process, and then call the "aclnnBatchNormElemt" API to perform the computation.
