Functions

M_newTensorSpec()

M_TensorSpec *M_newTensorSpec(const int64_t *shape, int64_t rankSize, M_Dtype dtype, const char *tensorName)

Creates a tensor specification.

You need this in order to set the input tensors with M_borrowTensorInto().

When storing tensor data in memory, we always use a diminishing stride size. That is, earlier dimensions in the shape have larger strides than later dimensions. For example, a C array declared as int arr[1][2][3] would have a shape specified as {1, 2, 3}.

• Parameters:

  • shape – The shape of the tensor.
  • rankSize – The rank size of the tensor.
  • dtype – The datatype for the tensor.
  • tensorName – The name for the tensor. This string gets copied as part of the operation of M_newTensorSpec, so your original string need not remain valid after the completion of this call.

• Returns:

  A pointer to the tensor spec. You are responsible for the memory associated with the pointer returned. The memory can be deallocated by calling M_freeTensorSpec().

M_isDynamicRanked()

int M_isDynamicRanked(const M_TensorSpec *spec)

Returns if the given spec has a dynamic rank.

• Parameters:

  spec – The tensor spec.

• Returns:

  1 if the rank is dynamic. 0 otherwise.

M_getDimAt()

int64_t M_getDimAt(const M_TensorSpec *spec, size_t axis)

Gets the element at a particular axis.

• Parameters:

  • spec – The tensor spec.
  • axis – The requested axis

• Returns:

  The dimension at requested axis if the spec and axis are valid and has static rank. Otherwise, 0. A dimension equaling M_getDynamicDimensionValue() indicates dynamic dimension e.g. batch-size of a model expecting a batched tensor.

M_getRank()

int64_t M_getRank(const M_TensorSpec *spec)

Gets the rank from the tensor spec.

• Parameters:

  spec – The tensor spec.

• Returns:

  The number of dimensions in the tensor spec if the spec is static and valid, M_getDynamicRankValue() if dynamic. Otherwise, 0.

M_getDtype()

M_Dtype M_getDtype(const M_TensorSpec *spec)

Gets the datatype from the tensor spec.

• Parameters:

  spec – The tensor spec.

• Returns:

  The element type from the tensor spec if the tensor spec is valid. Otherwise, M_UNKNOWN.

M_getName()

const char *M_getName(M_TensorSpec *spec)

Gets the name of the tensor from the tensor spec.

• Parameters:

  spec – The tensor spec.

• Returns:

  A null-terminated string containing the name of the tensor if the spec is valid. Otherwise, NULL. The memory associated with the returned string is owned by spec.

M_newAsyncTensorMap()

M_AsyncTensorMap *M_newAsyncTensorMap(const M_RuntimeContext *context)

Creates a map of tensor names to async tensors.

• Parameters:

  context – The runtime context.

• Returns:

  A pointer to the tensor map. You are responsible for the memory associated with the pointer returned. The memory can be deallocated by calling M_freeAsyncTensorMap().

M_copyAsyncTensorMap()

M_AsyncTensorMap *M_copyAsyncTensorMap(const M_AsyncTensorMap *tensorMap)

Copies a tensor map.

• Parameters:

  tensorMap – The tensor map to copy.

• Returns:

  A pointer to the tensor map. You are responsible for the memory associated with the pointer returned. The memory can be deallocated by calling M_freeAsyncTensorMap().

M_getTensorMapSize()

size_t M_getTensorMapSize(const M_AsyncTensorMap *tensorMap, M_Status *status)

Gets the size of the tensor map.

• Parameters:

  • tensorMap – The tensor map.
  • status – The status object for reporting errors.

• Returns:

  The size of the tensor map if the tensor map is valid. Otherwise, 0 and the status parameter contains an error message.

M_borrowTensorInto()

void M_borrowTensorInto(M_AsyncTensorMap *tensors, const void *input, const M_TensorSpec *tensorSpec, M_Status *status)

Adds a tensor to the tensor map.

You are responsible for the lifetime of the input tensor data. Its data gets “borrowed” into the Tensor Map.

• Parameters:

  • tensors – The tensor map, from M_newAsyncTensorMap().
  • input – The input tensor data.
  • tensorSpec – The tensor spec, from M_newTensorSpec(). This gets copied as part of the operation of M_borrowTensorInto, so your original tensorSpec need not exist through the lifetime of the tensor map.
  • status – The status object for reporting errors.

M_createBorrowedTensor()

M_AsyncValue *M_createBorrowedTensor(const void *data, const M_TensorSpec *tensorSpec, M_RuntimeContext *context)

Creates a borrowed tensor wrapped in an AsyncValue.

• Parameters:

  • data – The tensor data.
  • tensorSpec – The tensor spec, from M_newTensorSpec(). This gets copied as part of the operation of M_createBorrowedTensor(), so your original tensorSpec need not exist through the lifetime of the tensor.
  • context – The runtime context.

• Returns:

  A pointer to the value. You are responsible for the memory associated with the pointer returned. The memory can be deallocated by calling M_freeValue(). The held value inside the return value is owned by the AsyncValue, however the tensor data is borrowed and must outlive the returned M_AsyncValue.

M_getTensorByNameFrom()

M_AsyncTensor *M_getTensorByNameFrom(M_AsyncTensorMap *tensorMap, const char *name, M_Status *status)

Gets a tensor from the tensor map by name.

• Parameters:

  • tensorMap – The tensor map.
  • name – The name of the tensor.
  • status – The status object for reporting errors.

• Returns:

  A pointer to the tensor. You are responsible for the memory associated with the pointer returned. The memory can be deallocated by calling M_freeTensor(). The held tensor inside the return value is simply borrowed from the corresponding input M_AsyncTensorMap. If the tensor map or name are invalid, a NULL pointer is returned and the status parameter contains an error message.

M_tensorMapKeys()

const char **M_tensorMapKeys(M_AsyncTensorMap *tensorMap, int64_t *size)

M_deleteTensorMapKeys()

void M_deleteTensorMapKeys(const char **keys)

M_getTensorFromValue()

M_AsyncTensor *M_getTensorFromValue(M_AsyncValue *value)

Gets a tensor from the async value.

• Parameters:

  value – The async value.

• Returns:

  A pointer to the tensor. You are responsible for the memory associated with the pointer returned. The memory can be deallocated by calling M_freeTensor(). The held tensor inside the return value is simply borrowed from the M_AsyncValue. Note that the tensor name is not available through this method (unlike M_getTensorByNameFrom). If the value is invalid or not a tensor, a NULL pointer is returned.

M_getTensorNumElements()

size_t M_getTensorNumElements(const M_AsyncTensor *tensor)

• Parameters:

  • tensorMap – The tensor map.
  • status – The status object for reporting errors.

• Returns:

  A pointer to the tensor map iterator. You are responsible for the memory associated with the pointer returned. The memory can be deallocated by calling M_freeTensorMapIterator(). If the tensor map is invalid, a NULL pointer is returned and the status parameter contains an error message.

Gets the tensor from the tensor map iterator.

• Parameters:

  iterator – The tensor map iterator.
