.. index:: pair: page; SoftPlus .. _doxid-dev_guide_op_softplus: SoftPlus ======== General ~~~~~~~ SoftPlus operation applies following formula on every element of :math:`\src` tensor (the variable names follow the standard :ref:`Naming Conventions `): .. math:: dst = 1 / beta * \ln(e^{beta*src} + 1.0) Operation attributes ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ================================================================================================================= ==================================== =========== ========================================== ===================== Attribute Name Description Value Type Supported Values ------------------- Required or Optional ================================================================================================================= ==================================== =========== ========================================== ===================== :ref:`beta ` Value for the SoftPlus formulation. f32 Arbitrary f32 value ( ``1.f`` by default) Optional ================================================================================================================= ==================================== =========== ========================================== ===================== Execution arguments ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The inputs and outputs must be provided according to below index order when constructing an operation.

In case of in-place operation, the original ``src`` data will be overwritten. Use in-place operations whenever possible for performance.
