Function

  • Description: Swish activation function, which performs the Swish function operation on the input tensor element-wise and outputs the result tensor.

  • Formula:

    s(x)=x∗σ(βx)s(x) = x*\sigma(\beta x) σ(x)=11+e−x\sigma(x) = {\frac{1} {1+{e}^{-x}}}

    Where σ(x)\sigma(x) is the sigmoid function.

Function Prototype

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

aclnnStatus aclnnSwishGetWorkspaceSize(
  const aclTensor* self,
  const aclScalar* betaOptional,
  aclTensor*       out,
  uint64_t*        workspaceSize,
  aclOpExecutor**  executor)
aclnnStatus aclnnSwish(
  void*           workspace,
  uint64_t        workspaceSize,
  aclOpExecutor*  executor,
  aclrtStream     stream)

  • Parameters:

    Parameter Input/Output Description Instruction Data Type Data Format Dimension (shape) Non-contiguous Tensor
    self (aclTensor*) Input Represents the tensor used to compute the activation function, i.e., x in the formula.
    • Supports empty tensors.
    • The shape and data type of self must be consistent with those of out.

    betaOptional (aclScalar*) Input Represents an adjustable parameter used to control the shape and slope of the Swish function, i.e., β in the formula.
    • The data type must be a data type that can be converted to FLOAT (see conversion relationship).
    • When betaOptional is a null pointer, the API performs computation with 1.0.

    • Atlas inference products, Atlas training products: The supported data types are FLOAT16 and FLOAT.
  • 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 The passed self or out is a null pointer.
    ACLNN_ERR_PARAM_INVALID 161002 The data type of self, betaOptional, or out is not within the supported range.
    The data types of self and out are inconsistent.
    The shapes of self and out are inconsistent.

aclnnSwish

  • Parameters:

    Parameter Input/Output Description
    workspace Input Specifies the workspace memory address applied for on the Device side.
    workspaceSize Input Specifies the workspace size applied for on the Device side, which is obtained by the first-phase API aclnnSwishGetWorkspaceSize.
    executor Input Operator executor, which contains the operator computation flow.
    stream Input Specifies the stream that executes the task.
  • Return value

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

Constraints

  • Deterministic computation:

    • aclnnSwish defaults to a deterministic implementation.
