module

elementwise

Ops that perform element-wise computations/comparisons.

Operations in this module are split into either unary or binary operations.

Unary Operations

Elementwise-unary-operations all have the following properties:

• They operate on a single symbolic tensor value of any shape
• Their output is a single symbolic tensor value with the same shape as their input
• The computation they represent will be itemwise-independent, in other words the output value in any position of the output tensor at computation time will depend only on the input value at that same position, and no others.

Binary Operations

Elementwise-binary-operations all have the following properties:

• They operate on two symbolic tensor values, a left value and a right value.
• The input tensor types must be compatible according to the broadcasting rules.
• If the input tensor types have different element types, they will each be promoted to the same dtype according to the dtype promotion rules before executing the operation. This may involve a cast that changes the representation (including precision) of the data values.
• Their output is a single symbolic tensor value with
  • dtype depending on the op and the promoted dtype, ie. promote(lhs, rhs).
  • shape equal to the result of broadcast(lhs, rhs)
• The computation they represent will be itemwise-independent, in other words after broadcasting the input values to the same shape, the output value in any position of the output tensor at computation time will depend only on the input position at the two broadcast input values at that same position, and no others.

DType Promotion Rules

The Graph API splits dtype promotion into two pieces: bit width and category. Bit width is simply the number of bits that are needed to represent a dtype. Category is an order hierarchy: bool < unsigned int < signed int < float.

A promotion candidate is calculated between two dtypes (a and b) as: (max(category(a), category(b)), max(bitwidth(a), bitwidth(b))).

An exception will be raised if a either input dtype might contain a value that is unrepresentable by the promotion candidate (e.g u32 -> i32 or i32 -> f32).

An exception will be raised if the input has the same bit width but a different format than the promotion candidate (e.g. f16 -> bf16 or f32 -> tf32).

If no exception is raised, the promotion candidate is accepted. All inputs will be cast to the promotion candidate before the underlying operation is run.

Broadcasting Rules

Given two input tensor shapes, broadcasting works as following:

1. Prepend static 1 dimensions onto the tensor with lower rank to make it so that both tensors have the same rank.
2. If a dimension is a static 1 dimension, it will broadcast to the size of the dimension in the other tensor.
3. All other dimensions will be asserted to be equivalent. If they are not, an exception will be raised.
