s8 version for 1x1 convolution with support for non-unity stride values

  • Supported framework : TensorFlow Lite Micro

  • The following constrains on the arguments apply

    1. conv_params->padding.w = conv_params->padding.h = 0

Parameters:

  • ctx – [inout] Function context that contains the additional buffer if required by the function. None is required by this function.

  • weight_sum_ctx – [in] Per-output-channel weight sums, supplied by the caller. This function only reads the buffer and never writes it, so it is filled once and may then be reused for as long as filter_data, bias_data and conv_params->input_offset are unchanged - see arm_convolve_weight_sum() for the layout and the full reuse rules. Fill it with arm_convolve_weight_sum(), passing conv_params->input_offset as lhs_offset and the same bias_data given here. That helper returns ARM_CMSIS_NN_NO_IMPL_ERROR on non-MVE builds, which is not a failure. This function currently dereferences weight_sum_ctx->buf on EVERY build, not only under MVE, and does not check it for NULL: the context must be valid regardless of the target. The buffer contents are currently consumed only on builds with the MVE extension (ARM_MATH_MVEI), where an unfilled buffer yields wrong output while still returning ARM_CMSIS_NN_SUCCESS. None of this is a guarantee about future versions. Sized by arm_convolve_s8_get_weights_sum_size(): output_dims->c * sizeof(int32_t) where the sums are used, 0 otherwise. The caller is expected to clear the buffer, if applicable, for security reasons.

  • conv_params – [in] Convolution parameters (e.g. strides, dilations, pads,…). Range of conv_params->input_offset : [-127, 128] Range of conv_params->output_offset : [-128, 127]

  • quant_params – [in] Per-channel quantization info. It contains the multiplier and shift values to be applied to each output channel

  • input_dims – [in] Input (activation) tensor dimensions. Format: [N, H, W, C_IN]

  • input_data – [in] Input (activation) data pointer. Data type: int8

  • filter_dims – [in] Filter tensor dimensions. Format: [C_OUT, 1, 1, C_IN]

  • filter_data – [in] Filter data pointer. Data type: int8

  • bias_dims – [in] Bias tensor dimensions. Format: [C_OUT]

  • bias_data – [in] Optional bias data pointer. Data type: int32

  • output_dims – [in] Output tensor dimensions. Format: [N, H, W, C_OUT]

  • output_data – [out] Output data pointer. Data type: int8

Returns:

The function returns either ARM_CMSIS_NN_ARG_ERROR if argument constraints fail. or, ARM_CMSIS_NN_SUCCESS on successful completion.
