Sigmoid

Function Usage

Performs Sigmoid of logistic regression element-wise. The calculation formula is as follows, where PAR represents the number of elements that can be processed by Vector in one iteration:

Prototype

  • Pass the temporary space through the sharedTmpBuffer input parameter.
    • All or part of the source operand tensors are involved in computation.

Due to the complex mathematical computation involved in the internal implementation of this API, additional temporary space is required to store intermediate variables generated during computation. The temporary space can be allocated through the API framework or manually passed through the sharedTmpBuffer input parameter.

  • When the API framework is used for temporary space allocation, developers do not need to allocate the space, but must reserve the required size for the space.
  • When the sharedTmpBuffer input parameter is used for passing the temporary space, the tensor serves as the temporary space. In this case, the API framework is not required for temporary space allocation. This enables developers to manage the sharedTmpBuffer space and reuse the buffer after calling the API, so that the buffer is not repeatedly allocated and deallocated, improving the flexibility and buffer utilization.

If the API framework is used, developers must reserve the temporary space. If sharedTmpBuffer is used, developers must allocate space for sharedTmpBuffer. To obtain the size of the temporary space (BufferSize) to be reserved, use the API provided in GetSigmoidMaxMinTmpSize.

Whether the source operand can be modified. This parameter is reserved. Pass the default value false.

Table 2 API parameters

Parameter

Input/Output

Description

dstTensor

Output

Destination operand.

The type is LocalTensor, and the supported TPosition is VECIN, VECCALC, or VECOUT.

For the Atlas Training Series Product, the supported data types are half and float.

srcTensor

Input

Source operand.

The type is LocalTensor, and the supported TPosition is VECIN, VECCALC, or VECOUT.

The source operand must have the same data type as the destination operand.

For the Atlas Training Series Product, the supported data types are half and float.

sharedTmpBuffer

Input

Temporary buffer.

The type is LocalTensor, and the supported TPosition is VECIN, VECCALC, or VECOUT.

For details about how to obtain the temporary space size (BufferSize), see GetSigmoidMaxMinTmpSize.

For the Atlas Training Series Product, the supported data type is uint8_t.

calCount

Input

Number of actually computed data elements. The value range is [0, srcTensor.GetSize()].

Returns

None

Availability

Constraints

  • For details about the alignment requirements of the operand address offset, see General Restrictions.
  • The source operand address must not overlap the destination operand address.

AscendC::TPipe pipe;
AscendC::TQue<AscendC::TPosition::VECCALC, 1> tmpQue;
pipe.InitBuffer(tmpQue, 1, bufferSize);  // bufferSize is obtained through the tiling parameter on the host.
AscendC::LocalTensor<uint8_t> sharedTmpBuffer = tmpQue.AllocTensor<uint8_t>();
// The input shape is 1024. The data type of operator inputs is half. The actual computed element number is 512.
AscendC::Sigmoid(dstLocal, srcLocal, sharedTmpBuffer, 512);
