Function

PairReduceSum: sums up two adjacent (odd and even) elements, for example, (a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, a6, ...). The result is (a1+a2, a3+a4, a5+a6, ...). For details about reduction instructions, see How to Use Reduction Compute APIs.

Parameters

**Table 1** Template parameters
Parameter	Description
T	Operand data type. For the Atlas A3 training products / Atlas A3 inference products , the supported data types are half and float. For the Atlas A2 training products / Atlas A2 inference products , the supported data types are half and float. For Atlas 200I/500 A2 inference products , the supported data types are half and float. For the Atlas inference product 's AI Core, the supported data types are half and float. For the Atlas training products , the supported data type is half.
isSetMask	Indicates whether to set mask inside the API. true: sets mask inside the API. false: sets mask outside the API. Developers need to use the SetVectorMask API to set the mask value. In this mode, the mask value in the input parameter of this API must be set to the placeholder MASK_PLACEHOLDER.

**Table 2** Parameters
Parameter	Input/Output	Description
dst	Output	Destination operand. The type is LocalTensor, and the supported TPosition is VECIN, VECCALC, or VECOUT. The start address of the LocalTensor must be 32-byte aligned.
src	Input	Source operand. The type is LocalTensor, and the supported TPosition is VECIN, VECCALC, or VECOUT. The start address of the LocalTensor must be 32-byte aligned.
repeatTime	Input	Number of iteration repeats. The value range is [0, 255]. For details about this parameter, see High-dimensional Sharding APIs.
mask/mask[]	Input	mask is used to control the elements that participate in computation in each iteration. Bitwise mode: controls which elements are involved in computation bit by bit. A bit value of 1 means the corresponding element participates in computation, while 0 means it does not. The mask value is an array. The array length and the value range of the array elements are related to the operand data type. When the operand is 16-bit, the array length is 2, mask[0] and mask[1] ∈ [0, 2⁶⁴ -1] and cannot be 0 at the same time. When the operand is 32-bit, the array length is 1 and mask[0] ∈ (0, 2⁶⁴ – 1]. When the operand is 64-bit, the array length is 1 and mask[0] ∈ (0, 2³² – 1]. For example, if mask = [0, 8] and 8 = 0b1000, only the fourth element participates in computation. Contiguous mode: indicates the number of contiguous elements that participate in computation. The value range is related to the operand data type. The maximum number of elements that can be processed in each repeat varies according to the data type. When the operand is 16-bit, mask ∈ [1, 128]. When the operand is 32-bit, mask ∈ [1, 64]. When the operand is 64-bit, mask ∈ [1, 32].
dstRepStride	Input	Address stride between adjacent iterations of the destination operand. The unit is the length after reduction of a repeat. After PairReduce is complete, the length of a repeat is halved. That is, the unit is 128 bytes. Note that this parameter cannot be set to 0 for the Atlas training products .
srcBlkStride	Input	Address stride of data blocks in a single iteration. For details, see dataBlockStride.
srcRepStride	Input	Address stride between adjacent iterations of the source operand, that is, the number of data blocks skipped of the source operand in each iteration. For details, see repeatStride.

Returns

None

Restrictions

For details about the operand address alignment requirements, see General Address Alignment Restrictions.
If the mask bits of every two elements are not configured (that is, the current two elements do not participate in the operation), the value in the corresponding destination operand is set to 0 for Atlas 200I/500 A2 inference products , and the value in the corresponding destination operand does not change for other product models. For example, if the current instruction is used for 64 elements of the float type and mask is set to 62, the last two elements are not involved in the computation. For the Atlas 200I/500 A2 inference products , the last value in the destination operand is 0. For other product models, the last value in the destination operand remains unchanged.

Example

Example of PairReduceSum – high-dimensional tensor sharding computation (contiguous mask mode)

        
             int32_t mask = 256/sizeof(half);
int repeat = 1;
// repeat = 1, 128 elements one repeat, 128 elements total
// srcBlkStride = 1, no gap between blocks in one repeat
// dstRepStride = 1, srcRepStride = 8, no gap between repeats
AscendC::PairReduceSum<half>(dstLocal, srcLocal, repeat, mask, 1, 1, 8);

Example of PairReduceSum – high-dimensional tensor sharding computation (bitwise mask mode)

        
             uint64_t mask[2] = { UINT64_MAX, UINT64_MAX };
int repeat = 1;
// repeat = 1, 128 elements one repeat, 128 elements total
// srcBlkStride = 1, no gap between blocks in one repeat
// dstRepStride = 1, srcRepStride = 8, no gap between repeats
AscendC::PairReduceSum<half>(dstLocal, srcLocal, repeat, mask, 1, 1, 8);
