Interface Definition

Initialize Linear+ReLU, Linear+SiLU, and Linear+GELU. During the construction, the tensor information of the input matrix, weight matrix, and output matrix needs to be passed. The bias matrix is optional. If it is not passed, the second constructor will be called for initialization.

  • LinearActivationLayerFWD(const TensorInfo &aInfo, const TensorInfo &bInfo, const TensorInfo &cInfo, const TensorInfo &biasInfo, float alpha = 1.0f, float beta = 0.0f, ActivationFunction kind = KuDNN::ActivationFunction::RELU, int numthreads = 0)->void

To perform operator computation, the memory addresses for storing the input and output must be passed. a, b, c, and bias are the memory addresses of the input matrix, weight matrix, output matrix, and bias matrix, respectively. Whether to pass the address of the bias matrix depends on whether the bias is passed during construction.

  • void Run(const void *a, const void *b, void *c, const void *bias, int numThreads = 0)->void
  • Run(const void *a, const void *b, void *c, int numThreads = 0)->void
