This C++ API example demonstrates how to build GNMT model inference.
Example code: cpu_rnn_inference_int8.cpp
For the encoder we use:
- one primitive for the bidirectional layer of the encoder
- one primitive for all remaining unidirectional layers in the encoder For the decoder we use:
- one primitive for the first iteration
- one primitive for all subsequent iterations in the decoder. Note that in this example, this primitive computes the states in place.
- the attention mechanism is implemented separately as there is no support for the context vectors in MKL-DNN yet
Initialize a CPU engine and stream. The last parameter in the call represents the index of the engine.
auto cpu_engine =
engine(engine::kind::cpu, 0);
stream s(cpu_engine);
Declare encoder net and decoder net

std::vector<std::unordered_map<int, memory>> encoder_net_args,
decoder_net_args;
std::vector<float> net_src(batch * src_seq_length_max * feature_size, 0.1f);
std::vector<float> net_dst(batch * tgt_seq_length_max * feature_size, 0.1f);
Quantization factors for f32 data
std::vector<float> weights_scales(lstm_n_gates * feature_size);

weights_scales.begin(), weights_scales.begin() + scales_half, 30.f);
std::fill(weights_scales.begin() + scales_half + 1, weights_scales.end(),
