Execution arguments
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The inputs and outputs must be provided according to below index order when constructing an operation.

Inputs
------

======  ==============  =====================  
Index   Argument Name   Required or Optional   
======  ==============  =====================  
0       ``src``         Required               
1       ``diff_dst``    Required               
======  ==============  =====================

Outputs
-------

======  ==============  =====================  
Index   Argument Name   Required or Optional   
======  ==============  =====================  
0       ``diff_src``    Required               
======  ==============  =====================

Supported data types
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

SoftPlusBackward operation supports the following data type combinations.

=====  =========  =========  
Src    Diff_dst   Diff_src   
=====  =========  =========  
f32    f32        f32        
bf16   bf16       bf16       
f16    f16        f16        
=====  =========  =========

Implementation Notes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

SoftPlusBackward supports in-place operations, meaning that ``diff_dst`` can be used as both input and output (``diff_src``). In case of in-place operation, the original ``diff_dst`` data will be overwritten. Use in-place operations whenever possible for performance.
