ttnn.pow

ttnn.pow(input_tensor: ttnn.Tensor, float, exponent: float, int, ttnn.Tensor, *, memory_config: ttnn.MemoryConfig = None, output_tensor: ttnn.Tensor = None) → ttnn.Tensor

Perform element-wise pow operation on input_tensor with exponent.

\[\mathrm{output\_tensor}_i = (\mathrm{input\_tensor}_i ** \mathrm{exponent}_i)\]

Parameters:

input_tensor (ttnn.Tensor, float)the input tensor.
exponent (float, int, ttnn.Tensor)the exponent value.

Keyword Arguments:

memory_config (ttnn.MemoryConfig, optional)memory configuration for the operation. Defaults to None.
output_tensor (ttnn.Tensor, optional)preallocated output tensor. Defaults to None.

Returns:

ttnn.Tensorthe output tensor.

Binary elementwise operations, C=op(A,B), support input tensors A and B in tile and row major layouts (unless dtype requires specific layout, e.g. BFLOAT8_B or BFLOAT4_B), in interleaved or sharded format (height, width or block sharded), in DRAM or L1. A and B are independent, and can have different tensor specs, with restrictions as in notes below.

Broadcast of A and B operands is supported up to dimension 5 (DNCHW). Any dimensions of size 1 in either A or B will be expanded to match the other input, and data will be duplicated along that dimension. For example, if the shape of A is [2,1,1,32] and B is [1,16,8,1], the output shape will be [2,16,8,32]. The size of dimensions higher than 5 must match between A and B.

The output C supports the same layouts and formats as A and B, under the same dtype restriction. For operations that return a new tensor, the layout and memory configuration of C are independent of A and B. The memory configuration can be set with memory_config, and the full tensor spec with output_tensor where the operation takes one; if neither is given, the operation will attempt a best decision at an appropriate tensor spec. The dimensions of C, or of output_tensor if given, must match the broadcast-matched size of A and B. By default, C takes the dtype of A unless an operation-specific rule applies: comparison ops return a boolean mask, and a mixed float pair follows A rather than the wider dtype. There is no boolean dtype, so the mask is carried as 1 for true and 0 for false in the output dtype. Where supported, the output dtype can be overridden by the dtype argument or output_tensor. In-place operations write into A, so C is A and keeps its layout, memory configuration and dtype.

Performance considerations: Elementwise operations operate natively in tile format, tiled tensors are preferred as an input, and row-major tensors are tilized and untilized during the operation. L1 sharded layout is preferred, with no broadcast and matching tensor specs for A, B and C.

Note

Supported dtypes and layouts:

Dtypes	Layouts
BFLOAT16, BFLOAT8_B, BFLOAT4_B, FLOAT32	TILE, ROW_MAJOR

If the input tensor is ROW_MAJOR layout, it will be internally converted to TILE layout.

When exponent is a Tensor, both input tensors must have the same dtype from: BFLOAT16, BFLOAT8_B, BFLOAT4_B, FLOAT32.

Example

# Create tensor and integer exponent
tensor = ttnn.from_torch(
    torch.tensor([[1, 2], [3, 4]], dtype=torch.bfloat16), layout=ttnn.TILE_LAYOUT, device=device
)
exponent = 2
output = ttnn.pow(tensor, exponent)
logger.info(f"Power with integer exponent result: {output}")

# Create tensor and float exponent
exponent = 2.5
output = ttnn.pow(tensor, exponent)
logger.info(f"Power with float exponent result: {output}")

# Create two tensors for exponentiation
tensor1 = ttnn.from_torch(
    torch.tensor([[1, 2], [3, 4]], dtype=torch.bfloat16), layout=ttnn.TILE_LAYOUT, device=device
)
tensor2 = ttnn.from_torch(
    torch.tensor([[1, 2], [3, 4]], dtype=torch.bfloat16), layout=ttnn.TILE_LAYOUT, device=device
)
output = ttnn.pow(tensor1, tensor2)
logger.info(f"Power with tensor exponent result: {output}")
