Function

Description: Swish Gated Linear Unit (SwiGLU) activation function, which computes the SwiGLU of x.
Formula:

out_i = SwiGlu(x_i)=Swish(A_i)*B_i
where A_i denotes the first half of the tensor obtained by splitting x_i along the specified dim dimension, and B_i denotes the second half of the tensor obtained by splitting x_i along the specified dim dimension.

Function Prototype

Each operator is divided into a two-phase API. The "aclnnSwiGluGetWorkspaceSize" API must be called first to obtain the workspace size required for computation and the executor that encapsulates the operator computation flow. Then, the "aclnnSwiGlu" API is called to perform the computation.

aclnnStatus aclnnSwiGluGetWorkspaceSize(
  const aclTensor *x,
  int64_t          dim,
  const aclTensor *out,
  uint64_t        *workspaceSize,
  aclOpExecutor  **executor)

aclnnStatus aclnnSwiGlu(
  void           *workspace,
  uint64_t        workspaceSize,
  aclOpExecutor  *executor,
  aclrtStream     stream)

aclnnSwiGluGetWorkspaceSize

Parameters:

Parameter	Input/Output	Description	Instruction	Data Type	Data Format	Dimension (Shape)	Non-contiguous Tensor
x (aclTensor*)	Input	Represents the data to be computed, i.e., x_i in the formula.	Supports empty tensors. The dimension must be greater than 0 and the shape must be an even number on the dimension corresponding to the dim parameter.	BFLOAT16, FLOAT16, FLOAT32	ND	-	×
dim (int64_t)	Input	Specifies the dimension index along which to split, halving the corresponding axis of x.	The value range is [-x.dim(), x.dim()-1].	-	-	-	-
out (aclTensor*)	Output	Represents the computation result, i.e., out_i in the formula.	The data type is the same as that of the computation input x.	BFLOAT16, FLOAT16, FLOAT32	ND	-	×
workspaceSize (uint64_t*)	Output	Returns the workspace size to be applied for on the Device.	-	-	-	-	-
executor (aclOpExecutor**)	Output	Returns the op executor, which contains the operator computation flow.	-	-	-	-	-

Atlas inference products: Supports FLOAT16 and FLOAT32 data types. The shape does not support non-64-byte alignment. Empty tensors are not supported.

Return value

aclnnStatus: return code. For details, see aclnn Return Code.

The first-phase API performs input parameter validation and returns an error in the following scenarios:

Return Code	Error Code	Description
ACLNN_ERR_PARAM_NULLPTR	161001	x or out is a null pointer.
ACLNN_ERR_PARAM_INVALID	161002	The data type of x or out is not within the supported range.
		dim is not within the valid value range.

aclnnSwiGlu

Parameters:

Parameter	Input/Output	Description
workspace	Input	Workspace memory address applied for on the Device side.
workspaceSize	Input	Workspace size applied for on the Device side, obtained from the first-phase API aclnnSwiGluGetWorkspaceSize.
executor	Input	Operator executor, which contains the operator computation flow.
stream	Input	Specifies the stream for task execution.

Return value

aclnnStatus: return code. For details, see aclnn Return Code.

Constraints

Deterministic computation:
- aclnnSwiGlu defaults to a deterministic implementation.
