Notes

Pytorch uses the “channels_first” data format for its tensors, while hls4ml expects the “channels_last” format used by keras. By default, hls4ml will automatically add layers to the model which transpose the inputs to the “channels_last” format. Not that this is not supported for the “io_stream” io_type, for which the user will have to transpose the input by hand before passing it to hls4ml. In that case the “channels_last_conversion” argument of the “config_from_pytorch_model” function needs to be set to “internal”. This argument can be used to completely disable this internal conversion. By default, the output of the model remains in the “channels_last” data format. The “transpose_outputs” argument of the “config_from_pytorch_model” can be used to add a layer to the model that transposes back to “channels_first”. As before, this will not work for io_stream.

Returns:: hls4ml model.
Return type:: ModelGraph

Converts a given (SymPy or string) expression to hls4ml model.

Parameters:

expr (str or sympy.Expr) – Expression to convert. The variables in the expression should be in the form of x0, x1, x2, ....

        'range_start': <start>,
