Submodules

hls4ml.model.optimizer.passes.batchnorm_opt module

class hls4ml.model.optimizer.passes.batchnorm_opt.BatchNormOnnxConstantParameters

Bases: OptimizerPass

Remove Constant from the BatchNormalization node parameters (but not input[0])

match(node)

Predicate to match on a given node.

Parameters:

node (Layer) – Node in the model graph to try matching the optimizer on.

transform(model, node)

Remove Constant from the BatchNormalization node parameters (but not input[0])

TODO: Currently the quantizers are not actually used by the underlying layer.

class hls4ml.model.optimizer.passes.batchnorm_opt.ConstantBatchNormFusion

Bases: OptimizerPass

Merge BatchNorm into Const (after parameters have already been merged in BatchNormalization)

match(node)

Predicate to match on a given node.

Parameters:

node (Layer) – Node in the model graph to try matching the optimizer on.

transform(model, node)

Remove the batch norm

class hls4ml.model.optimizer.passes.batchnorm_opt.FuseConsecutiveBatchNormalization

Bases: OptimizerPass

OptimizerPass to merge consecutive BatchNormalization layers, only if the earlier one does not have the output type specified. There is a further check on the compatibility to merge: except in cases when merging a scale of 1 or a bias of 0, this does not merge when both scales or both biases are quantized.

Note: Consider restricting this to ApplyAlpha. Batch Normalization-style quantization seems to be ignored.

Note: This optimizer may not be safe if weights are updateable, in particular if a scale can go from ones to other values or if a bias can go from zeros to other values.

match(node)

Predicate to match on a given node.

Parameters:

node (Layer) – Node in the model graph to try matching the optimizer on.

transform(model, node)

Transformation to apply if matching was successful.

Transform should return a boolean value indicating if the model graph was altered (by adding/removing nodes).

Parameters:

• model (ModelGraph) – Model to optimize

• node (Layer) – The matched node in the model graph.

class hls4ml.model.optimizer.passes.batchnorm_opt.RemoveNopBatchNormalization

class hls4ml.model.optimizer.passes.bn_fuse.FuseBatchNormalization

Bases: OptimizerPass

OptimizerPass to merge a BatchNormalization layer with Dense or Conv layer, only if the Dense or Conv layer does not have the output type specified. There is a further check on the compatibility to merge: except in cases when merging a weight/scale of 1 or a bias of 0, this optimizer does not merge nodes when both the weight and scale or both biases are quantized.

Note: Consider restricting this to ApplyAlpha. Batch Normalization quantization seems to be ignored.

hls4ml.model.optimizer.passes.qkeras.register_qkeras()

hls4ml.model.optimizer.passes.quant_opt module

This file includes optimizations related to quant nodes.

As a first step, QuantConstantParameters converts the extra inputs to attributes.

The next step differs between the case of (1) (positive) power-of-2 scale and zero offset, or (2) other cases. In the first case no explicit scaling is required, so a Quant node logically becomes a linear activation. (Cases when the scale is a power of 2 not equal to one are implicitly scaled with fixed precision types.) When the activation is applied to a constant weight, the activation is immediately merged with the weight, quantizing the weights. In case (2), we need to explicitly scale and unscale, so the Quant node becomes 3 nodes, an ApplyAlpha node to apply a scale/shift, a Linear node to apply the quantization, and another ApplyAlpha to unscale/shift. We depend on optimization steps to move the unscaling ApplyAlpha down as needed so that we can do integer or fixed-point calculations. When the Quant is a applied to a weight, the scaling and Linear nodes are immediately merged into the Constant.

class hls4ml.model.optimizer.passes.quant_opt.ConstQuantToConstAlpha

This is for the case when scale is not power-of-2 or zeropt is not 0. It is a a 1:3 transformation of a Quant to an ApplyAlpha (to scale), Activation, ApplyAlpho (to unscale), but an input consts allows for optimization, so the ApplyAlpha (to scale), Activation are optimized away right away.
