Function

Performs element-wise sine computation using the following formula:

The Taylor's Formula of Sin(x) is as follows:

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 passed by developers through the sharedTmpBuffer input parameter or allocated through the API framework.

  • 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 the tensor. To obtain the size of the temporary space (BufferSize) to be reserved, use the GetSinMaxMinTmpSize API.

Parameters

Table 1 Template parameters

Parameter

Description

T

Data type of the operand.

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 the Atlas inference product's AI Core, the supported data types are half and float.

isReuseSource

Whether the source operand can be modified. The default value is false. This parameter is valid only when the input data type is float.

  • true: The source operand can be modified. Enabling this parameter allows this API to reuse srcTensor's memory space during internal computation, reducing memory usage.
  • false: The memory space of srcTensor is not reused during internal computation of this API.
Table 2 Parameters

Parameter

Input/Output

Description

dstTensor

Output

Destination operand.

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

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.

sharedTmpBuffer

Input

Temporary buffer.

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

This parameter is used to store intermediate variables during complex computation in Sin and is provided by developers.

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

calCount

Input

Number of elements involved in the computation.

Returns

None
