Member Data Documentation

◆ primitive_kind

dnnl_primitive_kind_t dnnl_layer_normalization_desc_t::primitive_kind

The kind of primitive.

Used for self-identifying the primitive descriptor. Must be dnnl_layer_normalization.

◆ prop_kind

dnnl_prop_kind_t dnnl_layer_normalization_desc_t::prop_kind

The kind of propagation.

Possible values: dnnl_forward_training, dnnl_forward_inference, dnnl_backward, and dnnl_backward_data.

◆ data_scaleshift_desc

dnnl_memory_desc_t dnnl_layer_normalization_desc_t::data_scaleshift_desc

Scale and shift data and gradient memory descriptors.

Scaleshift memory descriptor uses 2D dnnl_ab format[2, normalized_dim] where 1-st dimension contains gamma parameter, 2-nd dimension contains beta parameter. Normalized_dim is equal to the last logical dimension of the data tensor across which normalization is performed.

◆ stat_desc

dnnl_memory_desc_t dnnl_layer_normalization_desc_t::stat_desc

Mean and variance data memory descriptors.

Statistics (mean and variance) memory descriptor is the k-dimensional tensor where k is equal to data_tensor_ndims - 1 and may have any plain (stride[last_dim] == 1) user-provided format.
