arm_cmsis_nn_status arm_convolve_1x1_out_s8(const cmsis_nn_context *ctx, const cmsis_nn_context *weight_sum_ctx, const cmsis_nn_conv_params *conv_params, const cmsis_nn_per_channel_quant_params *quant_params, const cmsis_nn_dims *input_dims, const int8_t *input_data, const cmsis_nn_dims *filter_dims, const int8_t *filter_data, const cmsis_nn_dims *bias_dims, const int32_t *bias_data, const cmsis_nn_dims *output_dims, int8_t *output_data)

Optimised convolution for 1x1 output images (shape of BX1x1xC_OUT) for 8x8 computations.

  • Supported framework : TensorFlow Lite Micro

  • Optimised for Bx1×1xC output CNN layers.

  • Constraints:

    1. output_dims->h and output_dims->w must equal 1

    2. output_dims->c is expected to be a multiple of 4 for best performance

Parameters:

  • ctx – [inout] Function context that may supply an additional buffer for activation rearrangement.

  • 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. Pass a valid context on every build. Currently the contents are read only on builds with the MVE extension (ARM_MATH_MVEI), where an unfilled buffer yields wrong output while still returning ARM_CMSIS_NN_SUCCESS. A NULL buf is not checked for here, so do not rely on getting an error back. 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 (stride, dilation, pad, offsets). Range of conv_params->input_offset : [-127, 128] Range of conv_params->output_offset : [-128, 127]

  • quant_params – [in] Per-channel quantisation multipliers and shifts.

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

  • input_data – [in] Pointer to input data. Data type: int8

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

  • filter_data – [in] Pointer to filter data. Data type: int8

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

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

  • output_dims – [in] Output tensor dimensions. Format: [N, 1, 1, C_OUT]

  • output_data – [out] Pointer to output data. Data type: int8

Returns:

ARM_CMSIS_NN_ARG_ERROR on bad args, or ARM_CMSIS_NN_SUCCESS on success.
