Substitutes for Deprecated APIs

Substitutes for Single-Operator Model Execution APIs

The single-operator model execution APIs mainly consist of core steps such as operator building (such as aclopCompile), operator model file loading (such as aclopLoad), and operator execution (such as aclopExecuteV2). This API set is called for different operators, but the input parameters need to be constructed based on the input, output, and attributes of the operators. Therefore, when replacing a single-operator model execution API, you can directly use the corresponding aclnn operator API. For example, if the single-operator model execution API is used to call the Add operator, you can now use the aclnnAdd operator API instead.

Substitutes for CBLAS APIs

The CBLAS APIs primarily provide two types of functionalities:matrix-vector multiplication and matrix-matrix multiplication. The core steps include using the ATC tool to compile operators, loading operator model files (such as aclopLoad), and executing operators (such as aclblasGemvEx). Matrix-vector multiplication and matrix-matrix multiplication correspond to different execution APIs, and the input and output data types are also different. Therefore, there is no direct one-to-one mapping between the CBLAS APIs and the aclnn operator APIs. The substitution is implemented by combining basic aclnn operator APIs such as Matmul, Muls, and Add. For details about the sample code, see here.
