Function

  • Description: aclnnCelu calls the continuously differentiable exponential linear unit (CELU) activation function on each element x in the input tensor self, and stores the result in the output tensor out. aclnnInplaceCelu calls the continuously differentiable exponential linear unit (CELU) activation function on each element x in the input tensor selfRef, and stores the result in the input tensor selfRef.

  • Formula:

CELU(x)=max(0,x)+min(0,α∗(exp(x/α)−1))CELU(x) = max(0, x) + min(0, \alpha \ast (exp(x / \alpha) - 1))

Function Prototype

  • aclnnCelu and aclnnInplaceCelu implement the same function. The differences in usage are as follows. Select the appropriate operator based on your actual scenario.

    • aclnnCelu: Create a new output tensor object to store the computation result.

    • aclnnInplaceCelu: No need to create a new output tensor object. The computation result is stored directly in the memory of the input tensor.

  • Each operator is divided into a two-phase API. You must first call the "aclnnCeluGetWorkspaceSize" or "aclnnInplaceCeluGetWorkspaceSize" API to obtain the workspace size required for computation and the executor that includes the operator computation process, and then call the "aclnnCelu" or "aclnnInplaceCelu" API to perform the computation.
