1xn convolution

  • Supported framework : TensorFlow Lite Micro

  • The following constrains on the arguments apply

    1. input_dims->n equals 1

    2. ouput_dims->w is a multiple of 4

    3. Explicit constraints(since it is for 1xN convolution) -## input_dims->h equals 1 -## output_dims->h equals 1 -## filter_dims->h equals 1

      Todo:

      Remove constraint on output_dims->w to make the function generic.

Parameters:

  • ctx – [inout] Function context that contains the additional buffer if required by the function. arm_convolve_1_x_n_s8_get_buffer_size will return the buffer_size if required The caller is expected to clear the buffer, if applicable, for security reasons.

  • 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. The contents are read only on builds with the MVE extension (ARM_MATH_MVEI), where a NULL buf is diagnosed with ARM_CMSIS_NN_ARG_ERROR; on other builds the parameter is unread and NULL is accepted. An allocated-but-unfilled buffer cannot be diagnosed the same way: on MVE it yields wrong output while still returning ARM_CMSIS_NN_SUCCESS, since an all-zero weight-sum vector is a legal result. 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, and -1 for an output_dims->c that is negative or too large to size. 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, WK, C_IN] where WK is the horizontal spatial filter dimension

  • 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.
