Function

  • Description: Performs per-token symmetric/asymmetric dynamic quantization on the input tensor. In MOE scenarios, the smoothScalesOptional of each expert is different and is distinguished based on the input groupIndexOptional.

  • Formula:

    • Symmetric quantization:

      • If smoothScalesOptional is not input:

        scaleOut=row_max(abs(x))/127scaleOut=row\_max(abs(x))/127 yOut=round(x/scaleOut)yOut=round(x/scaleOut)
      • If smoothScalesOptional is input:

        input=x⋅smoothScalesOptionalinput = x\cdot smoothScalesOptional scaleOut=row_max(abs(input))/127scaleOut=row\_max(abs(input))/127 yOut=round(input/scaleOut)yOut=round(input/scaleOut)
    • Asymmetric quantization:

      • If smoothScalesOptional is not input,

        scaleOut=(row_max(x)−row_min(x))/scale_optscaleOut=(row\_max(x) - row\_min(x))/scale\_opt offset=offset_opt−row_max(x)/scaleOutoffset=offset\_opt-row\_max(x)/scaleOut yOut=round(x/scaleOut+offset)yOut=round(x/scaleOut+offset)
      • If smoothScalesOptional is input, then

        input=x⋅smoothScalesOptionalinput = x\cdot smoothScalesOptional scaleOut=(row_max(input)−row_min(input))/scale_optscaleOut=(row\_max(input) - row\_min(input))/scale\_opt offset=offset_opt−row_max(input)/scaleOutoffset=offset\_opt-row\_max(input)/scaleOut yOut=round(input/scaleOut+offset)yOut=round(input/scaleOut+offset)

    Where row_max represents the maximum value of each row, and row_min represents the minimum value of each row. When the output yOut type is INT8, scale_opt is 255.0 and offset_opt is 127.0; when the yOut type is INT4 or INT32, scale_opt is 15.0 and offset_opt is 7.0.

Function Prototype

Each operator is divided into a two-phase API. You must first call the "aclnnDynamicQuantV2GetWorkspaceSize" API to obtain the workspace size required for computation and the executor that encapsulates the operator computation flow, and then call the "aclnnDynamicQuantV2" API to perform the computation.
