ttnn.hardtanh_bw

ttnn.hardtanh_bw(grad_tensor: ttnn.Tensor, input_tensor: ttnn.Tensor, *, min: float = -1, max: float = 1, memory_config: ttnn.MemoryConfig = None) → List of ttnn.Tensor

Performs backward operations for hardtanh activation function on input_tensor, min, max with given grad_tensor.

Parameters:

  • grad_tensor (ttnn.Tensor) – the input gradient tensor.

  • input_tensor (ttnn.Tensor) – the input tensor.

Keyword Arguments:

  • min (float, optional) – Minimum value. Defaults to -1.

  • max (float, optional) – Maximum value. Defaults to 1.

  • memory_config (ttnn.MemoryConfig, optional) – memory configuration for the operation. Defaults to None.

Returns:

List of ttnn.Tensor – the output tensor.

Example

# Create sample tensors for backward hard tanh operation
grad_tensor = ttnn.from_torch(
    torch.tensor([[1, 2], [3, 4]], dtype=torch.bfloat16), layout=ttnn.TILE_LAYOUT, device=device
)
input_tensor = ttnn.from_torch(
    torch.tensor([[1, 2], [3, 4]], dtype=torch.bfloat16, requires_grad=True), layout=ttnn.TILE_LAYOUT, device=device
)

# Call the hardtanh_bw function with min and max values
output = ttnn.hardtanh_bw(grad_tensor, input_tensor, min=-1.0, max=1.0)
