gemm_batch

Computes a group of gemm operations.

Description

The gemm_batch routines are batched versions of gemm, performing multiple gemm operations in a single call. Each gemm operation perform a matrix-matrix product with general matrices.

gemm_batch supports the following precisions.

T
half
float
double
std::complex<float>
std::complex<double>

gemm_batch (Buffer Version)

Description

The buffer version of gemm_batch supports only the strided API.

The strided API operation is defined as:

for i = 0 … batch_size – 1
    A, B and C are matrices at offset i * stridea, i * strideb, i * stridec in a, b and c.
    C := alpha * op(A) * op(B) + beta * C
end for

where:

op(X) is one of op(X) = X, or op(X) = X^T, or op(X) = X^H,

alpha and beta are scalars,

A, B, and C are matrices,

op(A) is m x k, op(B) is k x n, and C is m x n.

The a, b and c buffers contain all the input matrices. The stride between matrices is given by the stride parameter. The total number of matrices in a, b and c buffers is given by the batch_size parameter.

gemm_batch (USM Version)

Description

The USM version of gemm_batch supports the group API and the strided API. The group API supports pointer and span inputs.

The group API operation is defined as:

idx = 0
for i = 0 … group_count – 1
    for j = 0 … group_size – 1
        A, B, and C are matrices in a[idx], b[idx] and c[idx]
        C := alpha[i] * op(A) * op(B) + beta[i] * C
        idx = idx + 1
    end for
end for

The advantage of using span instead of pointer is that the sizes of the array can vary and the size of the span can be queried at runtime. For each GEMM parameter, except the output matrices, the span can be of size 1, the number of groups or the total batch size. For the output matrices, to ensure all computation are independent, the size of the span must be the total batch size.

Depending on the size of the spans, each parameter for the GEMM computation is used as follows:

• If the span has size 1, the parameter is reused for all GEMM computation.

• If the span has size group_count, the parameter is reused for all GEMM within a group, but each group will have a different value for this parameter. This is like the gemm_batch group API with pointers.

• If the span has size equal to the total batch size, each GEMM computation will use a different value for this parameter.

The strided API operation is defined as

for i = 0 … batch_size – 1
    A, B and C are matrices at offset i * stridea, i * strideb, i * stridec in a, b and c.
    C := alpha * op(A) * op(B) + beta * C
end for

where:

op(X) is one of op(X) = X, or op(X) = X^T, or op(X) = X^H,

alpha and beta are scalars,

A, B, and C are matrices,

op(A) is m x k, op(B) is k x n, and C is m x n.

For group API, a, b and c arrays contain the pointers for all the input matrices. The total number of matrices in a, b and c are given by:

\[total\_batch\_count = \sum_{i=0}^{group\_count-1}group\_size[i]\]

For strided API, a, b, c arrays contain all the input matrices. The total number of matrices in a, b and c are given by the batch_size parameter.

strideb

Stride between different B matrices.

beta

Scaling factor for the matrices C.

c

Pointer to input/output matrices C with size stridec * batch_size.

ldc

The leading dimension of the matrices C. It must be positive and at least m if column major layout is used to store matrices or at least n if column major layout is used to store matrices.

stridec

Stride between different C matrices.

batch_size

Specifies the number of matrix multiply operations to perform.

dependencies

List of events to wait for before starting computation, if any. If omitted, defaults to no dependencies.

Output Parameters

c

Output matrices, overwritten by batch_size matrix multiply operations of the form alpha * op(A)*op(B) + beta * C.

Notes

If beta = 0, matrix C does not need to be initialized before calling gemm_batch.

Return Values

Output event to wait on to ensure computation is complete.

Throws

This routine shall throw the following exceptions if the associated condition is detected. An implementation may throw additional implementation-specific exception(s) in case of error conditions not covered here.

oneapi::mkl::invalid_argument

oneapi::mkl::unsupported_device

oneapi::mkl::host_bad_alloc

oneapi::mkl::device_bad_alloc
