Function

ReGlu is a GLU variant. It uses Relu as the activation function. Below is the formula.

The formula for calculating the ReLU activation function is as follows:

Prototype

  • Pass to the temporary space through the sharedTmpBuffer input parameter.
    1

    template <typename T, bool isReuseSource = false>
__aicore__ inline void ReGlu(const LocalTensor<T>& dstTensor, const LocalTensor<T>& srcTensor0, const LocalTensor<T>& srcTensor1, const LocalTensor<uint8_t>& sharedTmpBuffer, const uint32_t calCount)
  • Allocate the temporary space through the API framework.

    template <typename T, bool isReuseSource = false>
__aicore__ inline void ReGlu(const LocalTensor<T>& dstTensor, const LocalTensor<T>& srcTensor0, const LocalTensor<T>& srcTensor1, const uint32_t calCount)

Due to the complex mathematical computation involved in the internal implementation of this API, extra 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 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.
  • 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.

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

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, bfloat16_t, and float.

For the Atlas A2 training products/Atlas A2 inference products, the supported data types are half, bfloat16_t, 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. 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.

srcTensor0

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.

srcTensor1

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 ReGlu and is provided by developers.

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

calCount

Input

Number of elements involved in the computation.

Returns

None

Restrictions

  • For details about the operand address alignment requirements, see General Address Alignment Restrictions.
  • The source operand address must not overlap the destination operand address.
  • The address of sharedTmpBuffer must not overlap that of the source or destination operand.
  • Currently, only the ND format is supported.
