Global Functions

dnnl_status_t DNNL_API dnnl_inner_product_forward_primitive_desc_create(
    dnnl_primitive_desc_t* primitive_desc,
    dnnl_engine_t engine,
    dnnl_prop_kind_t prop_kind,
    const_dnnl_memory_desc_t src_desc,
    const_dnnl_memory_desc_t weights_desc,
    const_dnnl_memory_desc_t bias_desc,
    const_dnnl_memory_desc_t dst_desc,
    const_dnnl_primitive_attr_t attr
    )

Creates a primitive descriptor for an inner product forward propagation primitive.

NOTE:

Memory descriptors can be initialized with dnnl_format_tag_any or with format_kind set to dnnl_format_kind_any.

Parameters:

primitive_desc	Output primitive_descriptor.
engine	Engine to use.
prop_kind	Propagation kind. Possible values are dnnl_forward_training and dnnl_forward_inference.
src_desc	Source memory descriptor.
weights_desc	Weights memory descriptor.
bias_desc	Bias memory descriptor. Passing NULL, a zero memory descriptor, or a memory descriptor with format_kind set to dnnl_format_kind_undef disables the bias term.
dst_desc	Destination memory descriptor.
attr	Primitive attributes (can be NULL).

Returns:

dnnl_success on success and a status describing the error otherwise.

    const_dnnl_memory_desc_t diff_dst_desc,
    const_dnnl_primitive_desc_t hint_fwd_pd,
    const_dnnl_primitive_attr_t attr
    )

Creates a primitive descriptor for an inner product backward propagation primitive.

NOTE:

Memory descriptors can be initialized with dnnl_format_tag_any or with format_kind set to dnnl_format_kind_any.

Parameters:

primitive_desc	Output primitive_descriptor.
engine	Engine to use.
diff_src_desc	Diff source memory descriptor.
weights_desc	Weights memory descriptor.
diff_dst_desc	Diff destination memory descriptor.
hint_fwd_pd	Primitive descriptor for a respective forward propagation primitive.
attr	Primitive attributes (can be NULL).

Returns:

dnnl_success on success and a status describing the error otherwise.

    const_dnnl_memory_desc_t diff_dst_desc,
    const_dnnl_primitive_desc_t hint_fwd_pd,
    const_dnnl_primitive_attr_t attr
    )

Creates a primitive descriptor for an inner product weights gradient primitive.

NOTE:

Memory descriptors can be initialized with dnnl_format_tag_any or with format_kind set to dnnl_format_kind_any.

Parameters:

primitive_desc	Output primitive_descriptor.
engine	Engine to use.
src_desc	Source memory descriptor.
diff_weights_desc	Diff weights memory descriptor.
diff_bias_desc	Diff bias memory descriptor. Passing NULL, a zero memory descriptor, or a memory descriptor with format_kind set to dnnl_format_kind_undef disables the bias term.
diff_dst_desc	Diff destination memory descriptor.
hint_fwd_pd	Primitive descriptor for a respective forward propagation primitive.
attr	Primitive attributes (can be NULL).

Returns:

dnnl_success on success and a status describing the error otherwise.
