ops-nn 采用循序渐进的开源方式,社区版会优先补齐常用基础算子和示例代码,后续增强算子将根据功能验证、合规审查和性能达标情况陆续公开。具体节奏以官方公告为准。

FatReLU(Filtered Adaptive ReLU)是一种创新的激活函数,将激活和掩码操作融合:

// FatReLU算子核心实现
template<typename T>
class FatReLUFusion {
private:
// 双缓冲优化
LocalTensor<uint8_t> pingBuffer;
LocalTensor<uint8_t> pongBuffer;
int32_t pingPongFlag = 0;
// 分块处理参数
constexpr int32_t PP_ELEMENT_NUM = 10 * 1024;
constexpr int32_t ONE_BLOCK_SIZE = 32;
public:
void operator()(const T* input, const T* filter, T* output,
int64_t batchSize, int64_t hiddenSize) {
// 1. 输入验证
OP_CHECK(input != nullptr, return, "input is null");
OP_CHECK(filter != nullptr, return, "filter is null");
// 2. 分块处理
int64_t totalElements = batchSize * hiddenSize;
int64_t numBlocks = (totalElements + PP_ELEMENT_NUM - 1) / PP_ELEMENT_NUM;
// 3. Ping-Pong缓冲区切换
LocalTensor<T>* currentBuffer = pingPongFlag ? &pingBuffer : &pongBuffer;
pingPongFlag = 1 - pingPongFlag;
// 4. 并行处理各块
for (int64_t blockId = 0; blockId < numBlocks; ++blockId) {
ProcessBlock(input, filter, output, blockId,
totalElements, hiddenSize);
}
}
private:
void ProcessBlock(const T* input, const T* filter, T* output,
int64_t blockId, int64_t totalElements,
int64_t hiddenSize) {
// 计算块起始和结束位置
int64_t startIdx = blockId * PP_ELEMENT_NUM;
int64_t endIdx = std::min(startIdx + PP_ELEMENT_NUM, totalElements);
// 执行FatReLU计算
for (int64_t i = startIdx; i < endIdx; ++i) {
int64_t hiddenIdx = i % hiddenSize;
// output[i] = max(0, input[i]) * filter[hiddenIdx]
output[i] = std::max(T(0), input[i]) * filter[hiddenIdx];
}
}
};

GELU(Gaussian Error Linear Unit)是Transformer模型中常用的激活函数:

// GELU优化实现
template<typename T>
class GELUOptimized {
public:
// 标准GELU实现
T StandardGELU(T x) {
return x * 0.5 * (1.0 + erf(x / sqrt(2.0)));
}
// 近似GELU实现(更快的版本)
T ApproxGELU(T x) {
// 使用tanh近似
return 0.5 * x * (1.0 + tanh(sqrt(2.0 / M_PI) *
(x + 0.044715 * x * x * x)));
}
void Compute(const T* input, T* output, int64_t size,
GELUVariant variant = GELUVariant::Approx) {
// 向量化计算
const int vector_size = 16; // SIMD向量大小
#pragma omp parallel for
for (int64_t i = 0; i < size; i += vector_size) {
int64_t end = std::min(i + vector_size, size);
for (int64_t j = i; j < end; ++j) {
if (variant == GELUVariant::Standard) {
output[j] = StandardGELU(input[j]);
} else {
output[j] = ApproxGELU(input[j]);
}
}
}
}
};

SiLU(Sigmoid Linear Unit)与Swish本质相同,经常与线性层融合:

// SiLU融合计算
template<typename T>
class SiLUFusion {
public:
void FusedSiLULinear(const T* input, const T* weight, const T* bias,
T* output, int64_t in_features, int64_t out_features) {
// 融合计算:SiLU(Linear(x))
// = SiLU(x × W^T + b)
// = x × W^T + b × sigmoid(x × W^T + b)
#pragma omp parallel for
for (int64_t i = 0; i < out_features; ++i) {
T linear_output = bias[i];
// 计算线性部分
for (int64_t j = 0; j < in_features; ++j) {
linear_output += input[j] * weight[i * in_features + j];
}
// 应用SiLU
output[i] = linear_output * Sigmoid(linear_output);
}
}
};

卷积算子根据不同场景选择最优算法:

// 卷积算法选择器
class ConvolutionAlgorithmSelector {
public:
enum class ConvAlgo {
WINOGRAD, // Winograd算法:小卷积核优化
FFT_CONV, // FFT卷积:大卷积核优化
IM2COL_GEMM, // Im2Col + GEMM:通用算法

};
ConvAlgo SelectAlgorithm(int64_t N, int64_t C, int64_t H, int64_t W,
int64_t K, int64_t R, int64_t S,
int64_t stride_h, int64_t stride_w,
int64_t pad_h, int64_t pad_w) {
// 计算输出尺寸
int64_t OH = (H + 2 * pad_h - R) / stride_h + 1;
int64_t OW = (W + 2 * pad_w - S) / stride_w + 1;
// 计算计算复杂度
int64_t mac_count = N * K * OH * OW * C * R * S;
// 算法选择策略
if (R == 3 && S == 3 && stride_h == 1 && stride_w == 1) {
// 3x3卷积,stride=1:使用Winograd
return ConvAlgo::WINOGRAD;
} else if (R >= 7 && S >= 7 && mac_count > 10000000) {
// 大卷积核:使用FFT
return ConvAlgo::FFT_CONV;
} else if (K * C * R * S < 1000) {

}
}
};

// Winograd适用于F(2x2, 3x3)
const int TILE_SIZE = 2;
const int FILTER_SIZE = 3;
// 计算tile数量
int tiles_h = (H + TILE_SIZE - 1) / TILE_SIZE;
