◆ mkldnn_primitive_attr_set_rnn_data_qparams()

mkldnn_status_t MKLDNN_API mkldnn_primitive_attr_set_rnn_data_qparams ( mkldnn_primitive_attr_t  attr,
const float  scale,
const float  shift 
)

Sets quantization scale and shift for RNN data tensors.

For performance reasons, low precision configuration of RNN primitive expects input activations to have unsigned int8 data type. Scale and shift used to quantize floating point data to unsigned integer must be passed to RNN primitive using attributes. Example usage:

// rnn parameters
int l = 2, t = 2, mb = 32, sic = 32, slc = 32, dic = 32, dlc = 32;
// activations quantization parameters
float scale = ..., shift = ..;
// create default attributes
// set scale and shift for int8 quantization of activation
// create & configure rnn op_desc
mkldnn_primitive_desc_create(&rnn_pd, &rnn_d, attr, engine, NULL);
Note
Quantization scale and shift are common for src_layer, src_iter, dst_iter and dst_layer.

◆ mkldnn_primitive_attr_set_rnn_weights_qparams()

mkldnn_status_t MKLDNN_API mkldnn_primitive_attr_set_rnn_weights_qparams ( mkldnn_primitive_attr_t  attr,
mkldnn_dim_t  count,
int  mask,
const float *  weights_scales 
)

Sets quantization scales weights_scales for RNN weights tensors.

Low precision configuration of RNN primitive expects input weights to have signed int8 data type. Scales used to quantize floating point data to signed integer must be passed to RNN primitive using attributes. The mask argument defines correspondence between output tensor dimensions and the weights_scales array. Set i-th bit of mask to 1 to use dedicated scaling factor for each slice of the output tensor over i-th dimension. Set mask to 0 to use common scaling factor for the whole output tensor. Example usage:

// rnn parameters
int l = 2, t = 2, mb = 32, sic = 32, slc = 32, dic = 32, dlc = 32;
// unique output scales per output channel
float weights_scales[dic * n_gates] = { ... };
// mask that specifies last two dimensions of ldigo format
int mask = 0x3;
// create default attributes
// set output channel-wise weights scales
weights_scales);
// create & configure rnn op_desc
mkldnn_primitive_desc_create(&rnn_pd, &rnn_d, attr, engine, NULL);
Note
The dimension order is always native and does not depend on the actual layout used. For example, 5 dimensional weights always have (l, d, i, g, o) logical dimension ordering.
Quantization sales are common for weights_layer and weights_iteration
There is no way to check that count corresponds to mask until an actual primitive descriptor is created, so it is user's responsibility to set proper values. The following formula must be held:

\[count = \prod\limits_{d \in mask} output.dims[d]\]

◆ mkldnn_vanilla_rnn_forward_desc_init()

mkldnn_status_t MKLDNN_API mkldnn_vanilla_rnn_forward_desc_init ( mkldnn_rnn_desc_t rnn_desc,
mkldnn_prop_kind_t  prop_kind,
const mkldnn_alg_kind_t  activation,

const mkldnn_memory_desc_t dst_layer_desc,
const mkldnn_memory_desc_t dst_iter_desc,
unsigned  flags,
float  alpha,
float  beta 
)

Initializes an RNN descriptor rnn_desc for forward propagation using prop_kind, activation, direction, and memory descriptors.

Note
If prop_kind equals mkldnn_forward_training, you must query a workspace memory descriptor before creating the primitive.

src_iter_desc, bias_desc, and dst_iter_desc are allowed to either be NULL or point to a zero memory descriptor, which would indicate that the RNN primitive should not use them and will default to zero values.

Note
All memory descriptorsare allowed to be initialized with mkldnn_format_kind_any value of format_kind.
