Function
Description: The RMSNorm operator is a common normalization operation in large models. Compared with the LayerNorm operator, it removes the part of subtracting the mean. The RmsNormQuant operator fuses the RMSNorm operator and the Quantize operator after RMSNorm, reducing data movement operations.
Formula:
Function Prototype
Each operator uses a two-phase API. You must first call the "aclnnRmsNormQuantGetWorkspaceSize" API to obtain the input parameters and calculate the required workspace size based on the computation process, and then call the "aclnnRmsNormQuant" API to perform the computation.
