StableHLO Specification

StableHLO is an operation set for high-level operations (HLO) in machine learning (ML) models. StableHLO works as a portability layer between different ML frameworks and ML compilers: ML frameworks that produce StableHLO programs are compatible with ML compilers that consume StableHLO programs.

Our goal is to simplify and accelerate ML development by creating more interoperability between various ML frameworks (such as TensorFlow, JAX and PyTorch) and ML compilers (such as XLA and IREE). Towards that end, this document provides a specification for the StableHLO programming language.

This specification contains three major sections. First, the Programs section describes the structure of StableHLO programs which consist of StableHLO functions which themselves consist of StableHLO ops. Within that structure, the Ops section specifies the semantics of individual ops. The Execution section provides semantics for all these ops executing together within a program. Finally, the Notation section discusses the notation used throughout the specification.

Programs

Program ::= {Func}

StableHLO programs consist of an arbitrary number of StableHLO functions. Below is an example program with a function @main which has 3 inputs (%image, %weights and %bias) and 1 output. The body of the function has 6 ops.

func.func @main(
  %image: tensor<28x28xf32>,
  %weights: tensor<784x10xf32>,
  %bias: tensor<1x10xf32>
) -> tensor<1x10xf32> {
  %0 = "stablehlo.reshape"(%image) : (tensor<28x28xf32>) -> tensor<1x784xf32>
  %1 = "stablehlo.dot"(%0, %weights) : (tensor<1x784xf32>, tensor<784x10xf32>) -> tensor<1x10xf32>
  %2 = "stablehlo.add"(%1, %bias) : (tensor<1x10xf32>, tensor<1x10xf32>) -> tensor<1x10xf32>
  %3 = "stablehlo.constant"() {value = dense<0.0> : tensor<1x10xf32>} : () -> tensor<1x10xf32>
  %4 = "stablehlo.maximum"(%2, %3) : (tensor<1x10xf32>, tensor<1x10xf32>) -> tensor<1x10xf32>
  "func.return"(%4): (tensor<1x10xf32>) -> ()
}

Functions

Func        ::= 'func' '.' 'func' FuncId FuncInputs FuncOutputs '{' FuncBody '}'
FuncInputs  ::= '(' [FuncInput {',' FuncInput}] `)`
FuncInput   ::= ValueId ':' ValueType
FuncOutputs ::= ['->' FuncOutput, {',' FuncOutput}]
FuncOutput  ::= ValueType
FuncBody    ::= {Op}

StableHLO functions (which are also called named functions) have an identifier, inputs/outputs and a body. In the future, we are planning to introduce additional metadata for functions to achieve better compatibility with HLO (#425, #626, #740, #744).

Identifiers

FuncId  ::= '@' letter {letter | digit}
ValueId ::= '%' digit {digit}
          | '%' letter {letter | digit}
letter  ::= 'a' | ... | 'z' | 'A' | ... | 'Z' | '_'
digit   ::= '0' | ... | '9'

StableHLO identifiers are similar to identifiers in many programming languages, with two peculiarities: 1) all identifiers have sigils which distinguish different kinds of identifiers, 2) value identifiers can be completely numeric to simplify generation of StableHLO programs.

Types

Type         ::= ValueType | NonValueType
ValueType    ::= TensorType | QuantizedTensorType | TokenType | TupleType
NonValueType ::= TensorElementType | QuantizedTensorElementType | FunctionType | StringType

StableHLO types are categorized into value types (which are also called first-class types) which represent StableHLO values and non-value types which describe other program elements. StableHLO types are similar to types in many programming languages, with the main peculiarity being StableHLO's domain-specific nature which results in some unusual outcomes (e.g. scalar types are not value types).

TensorType ::= 'tensor' '<' Shape TensorElementType '>'
Shape ::= {DimensionSize 'x'}
DimensionSize ::= digit {digit} | '?'

Tensor types represent tensors, i.e. multidimensional arrays. They have a shape and an element type, where a shape represents non-negative or unknown dimension sizes in the ascending order of the corresponding dimensions (which are also called axes) numbered from 0 to R-1. The number of dimensions R is called rank. For example, tensor<2x3xf32> is a tensor type with shape 2x3 and element type f32. It has two dimensions (or, in other words, two axes) - 0th dimension and 1st dimension - whose sizes are 2 and 3. Its rank is 2.

Shapes can be partially or completely unknown (dynamic), e.g. tensor<?x2xf64> is partially unknown and tensor<?x?xf64> is completely unknown. Dynamic dimension sizes are represented using a ?. Shapes cannot be unranked.

In the future, we are planning to explore extending tensor types beyond dimension sizes and element types, for example, to include layouts (#629) and sparsity (#1078).

QuantizedTensorType ::= 'tensor' '<' Shape QuantizedTensorElementType '>'
QuantizedTensorElementType ::= '!quant.uniform' '<'
                  QuantizationStorageType
                  ['<' QuantizationStorageMin ':' QuantizationStorageMax '>']
                  ':' QuantizationExpressedType
                  [':' QuantizationDimension]
                  ',' QuantizationParameters '>'
QuantizationStorageType ::= IntegerType
QuantizationStorageMin ::= IntegerConstant
QuantizationStorageMax ::= IntegerConstant
QuantizationExpressedType ::= FloatType
QuantizationDimension ::= IntegerConstant
QuantizationParameters ::= QuantizationParameter
                         | '{' QuantizationParameter {',' QuantizationParameter} '}'
QuantizationParameter ::= QuantizationScale ':' QuantizationZeroPoint
QuantizationScale ::= FloatConstant
QuantizationZeroPoint ::= IntegerConstant
Name Type Constraints
storage_type integer type (C1-C3), (C8)
storage_min integer constant (C1), (C3), (C7)
storage_max integer constant (C2), (C3), (C7)
expressed_type floating-point type (C4)
quantization_dimension optional integer constant (C10-C12)
scales variadic number of floating-point constants (C4-C6), (C9), (C10), (C13)
zero_points variadic number of integer constants (C7-C9)

Quantized element types represent integer values of a storage type in the range from storage_min to storage_max (inclusive) that correspond to floating-point values of an expressed type. For a given integer value i, the corresponding floating-point value f can be computed as f = (i - zero_point) * scale, where scale and zero_point are called quantization parameters. The storage_min and storage_max are optional in the grammar, but have default values of min_value(storage_type) and max_value(storage_type) respectively. Quantized element types have the following constraints:

  • (C1) type(storage_min) = storage_type.
  • (C2) type(storage_max) = storage_type.
  • (C3) min_value(storage_type) <= storage_min < storage_max <= max_value(storage_type).
  • (C4) type(scales...) = expressed_type.
  • (C5) 0 < scales.
  • (C6) is_finite(scales...).
  • (C7) storage_min <= zero_points <= storage_max.
  • (C8) type(zero_points...) = storage_type.
  • (C9) size(scales) = size(zero_points).
  • (C10) If is_empty(quantization_dimension), then size(scales) = 1.
  • (C11) 0 <= quantization_dimension.

At the moment, QuantizationScale is a floating-point constant, but there is strong interest in integer-based scales, represented with multipliers and shifts. We are planning to explore this in the near future (#1404).

There is an ongoing discussion on the semantics of QuantizationZeroPoint, including the type, the values and whether there can be just one or potentially multiple zero points in a quantized tensor type. Based on the results of this discussion, the specification around zero points may change in the future (#1405).

Another ongoing discussion involves the semantics of QuantizationStorageMin and QuantizationStorageMax to determine whether any constraints should be imposed on these values and on the values of quantized tensors (#1406).

Finally, we are planning to explore representing unknown scales and zero points, similarly to how we are planning to explore representing unknown dimension sizes (#1407).

Quantized tensor types represent tensors with quantized elements. These tensors are exactly the same as regular tensors, except that their elements have quantized element types, instead of regular element types.

In quantized tensors, quantization can be per-tensor, meaning, having one scale and zero_point for the entire tensor or can be per-axis, meaning, having multiple scales and zero_points, one pair per slice of a particular dimension quantization_dimension. More formally, in a tensor t with per-axis quantization, there are dim(t, quantization_dimension) slices of the quantization_dimension: t[:, ..., 0, ..., :], t[:, ..., 1, ..., :], etc. All elements in the ith slice use scales[i] and zero_points[i] as their quantization parameters. Quantized tensor types have the following constraints:

  • For per-tensor quantization:
    • No additional constraints.
  • For per-axis quantization:
    • (C13) quantization_dimension < rank(self).
    • (C14) dim(self, quantization_dimension) = size(scales).
TokenType ::= 'token'

Token types represent tokens, i.e. opaque values produced and consumed by some operations. Tokens are used for imposing execution order on operations as described in the Execution section.

TupleType ::= 'tuple' '<' TupleElementTypes '>'
TupleElementTypes ::= [ValueType {',' ValueType}]

Tuple types represent tuples, i.e. heterogeneous lists. Tuples are a legacy feature which only exists for compatibility with HLO. In HLO, tuples are used to represent variadic inputs and outputs. In StableHLO, variadic inputs and outputs are supported natively, and the only use of tuples in StableHLO is to comprehensively represent HLO ABI where e.g. T, tuple<T> and tuple<tuple<T>> may be materially different depending on a particular implementation. In the future, we are planning to make changes to HLO ABI which may allow us to remove tuple types from StableHLO (#598).

TensorElementType ::= BooleanType | IntegerType | FloatType | ComplexType
BooleanType ::= 'i1'
IntegerType ::= SignedIntegerType | UnsignedIntegerType
SignedIntegerType ::= 'si4' | 'si8' | 'si16' | 'si32' | 'si64'
UnsignedIntegerType ::= 'ui4' | 'ui8' | 'ui16' | 'ui32' | 'ui64'
FloatType ::= 'f8E4M3FN' | 'f8E5M2' | 'f8E4M3FNUZ' | 'f8E5M2FNUZ'
            | 'f8E4M3B11FNUZ' | 'bf16' | 'f16' | 'f32' | 'f64'
ComplexType ::= 'complex' '<' ComplexElementType '>'
ComplexElementType ::= 'f32' | 'f64'

Element types represent elements of tensor types. Unlike in many programming languages, these types are not first class in StableHLO. This means that StableHLO programs cannot directly represent values of these types (as a result, it is idiomatic to represent scalar values of type T with 0-dimensional tensor values of type tensor<T>).

  • Boolean type represents boolean values true and false.
  • Integer types can be either signed (si) or unsigned (ui) and have one of the supported bit widths (4, 8, 16, 32 or 64). Signed siN types represent integer values from -2^(N-1) to 2^(N-1)-1 inclusive, and unsigned uiN types represent integer values from 0 to 2^N-1 inclusive.
  • Floating-point types can be one of the following:
  • Complex types represent complex values that have a real part and an imaginary part of the same element type. Supported complex types are complex<f32> (both parts are of type f32) and complex<f64> (both parts are of type f64).
FunctionType ::= '(' InputTypes ')' '->' '(' OutputTypes ')'
InputTypes ::= [ValueType {',' ValueType}]
OutputTypes ::= [ValueType {',' ValueType}]

Function types represent both named and anonymous functions. They have input types (the list of types on the left-hand side of ->) and output types (the list of types on the right-hand side of ->). In many programming languages, function types are first class, but not in StableHLO.

StringType ::= 'string'

String type represents sequences of bytes. Unlike in many programming languages, string type is not first class in StableHLO and is only used to specify static metadata for program elements.

Operations

StableHLO operations (which are also called ops) represent a closed set of high-level operations in machine learning models. As discussed above, StableHLO syntax is heavily inspired by MLIR, which is not necessarily the most ergonomic alternative, but is arguably the best fit for StableHLO's goal of creating more interoperability between ML frameworks and ML compilers.

Op            ::= [OpOutputs] OpName OpInputs ':' OpSignature
OpName        ::= '"' 'stablehlo' '.' OpMnemonic '"'
OpMnemonic    ::= 'abs' | 'add' | ...

StableHLO operations (which are also called ops) have a name, inputs/outputs and a signature. The name consists of the stablehlo. prefix and a mnemonic which uniquely identifies one of the supported ops. See below for a comprehensive list of all supported ops.

At the moment, StableHLO programs in the wild sometimes contain operations that are not described in this document. In the future, we are planning to either absorb these operations into the StableHLO opset or prohibit them from appearing in StableHLO programs. In the meanwhile, here is the list of these operations:

  • builtin.module, func.func, func.call and func.return (#425).
  • chlo operations (#602).
  • "Not in HLO" category of StableHLO operations - they were initially part of the StableHLO opset but have been later deemed to not fit it well: broadcast, create_token, cross-replica-sum, dot, einsum, torch_index_select, unary_einsum (#3), and trace (#604).
  • "Dynamism" category of StableHLO operations - they were bootstrapped from MHLO,and we are in the process of speccing them: dynamic_broadcast_in_dim, dynamic_conv, dynamic_gather, dynamic_iota, dynamic_pad, dynamic_reshape, real_dynamic_slice, set_dimension_size (#8).
  • Shape computations, including arith, shape and tensor operations (#8).
OpInputs        ::= OpInputValues OpInputFuncs OpInputAttrs
OpInputValues   ::= '(' [OpInputValue {',' OpInputValue}] ')'
OpInputValue    ::= ValueId
OpInputFuncs    ::= ['(' OpInputFunc {',' OpInputFunc} ')']
OpInputAttrs    ::= ['{' OpInputAttr {',' OpInputAttr} '}']
OpOutputs       ::= [OpOutput {',' OpOutput} '=']
OpOutput        ::= ValueId

Ops consume inputs and produce outputs. Inputs are categorized into input values (computed during execution), input functions (provided statically, because in StableHLO functions are not first-class values) and input attributes (also provided statically). The kind of inputs and outputs consumed and produced by an op depends on its mnemonic. For example, the add op consumes 2 input values and produces 1 output value. In comparison, the select_and_scatter op consumes 3 input values, 2 input functions and 3 input attributes.

OpInputFunc ::= '{' Unused FuncInputs ':' FuncBody '}'
Unused      ::= '^' digit {digit}
              | '^' letter {letter | digit}

Input functions (which are also called anonymous functions) are very similar to named functions except that: 1) they don't have an identifier (hence the name "anonymous"), 2) they don't declare output types (output types are inferred from the return op within the function).

The syntax for input functions includes a currently unused part (see the Unused production above) which is there for compatibility with MLIR. In MLIR, there is a more general concept of "regions" which can have multiple "blocks" of ops connected together via jump ops. These blocks have ids which correspond to the Unused production, so that they can be distinguished from each other. StableHLO doesn't have jump ops, so the corresponding part of MLIR syntax is unused (but is still there).

OpInputAttr      ::= OpInputAttrName '=' OpInputAttrValue
OpInputAttrName  ::= letter {letter | digit}
OpInputAttrValue ::= Constant

Input attributes have a name and a value which is one of the supported constants. They are the primary way to specify static metadata for program elements. For example, the concatenate op uses the attribute dimension to specify the dimension along which its input values are concatenated. Similarly, the slice op uses multiple attributes like start_indices and limit_indices to specify the bounds that are used to slice the input value.

At the moment, StableHLO programs in the wild sometimes contain attributes which are not described in this document. In the future, we are planning to either absorb these attributes into the StableHLO opset or prohibit them from appearing in StableHLO programs. In the meanwhile, here is the list of these attributes:

  • layout (#629).
  • mhlo.frontend_attributes (#628).
  • mhlo.sharding (#619).
  • output_operand_aliases (#740).
  • Location metadata (#594).
OpSignature ::= '(' [ValueType {',' ValueType}] ')' '->' '(' [ValueType {',' ValueType}] ')'

Op signature consists of the types of all input values (the list of types on the left-hand side of ->) and the types of all output values (the list of types on the right-hand side of ->). Strictly speaking, input types are redundant, and output types are almost always redundant as well (because for most StableHLO ops, output types can be inferred from inputs). Nonetheless, op signature is deliberately part of StableHLO syntax for compatibility with MLIR.

Below is an example op whose mnemonic is select_and_scatter. It consumes 3 input values (%operand, %source and %init_value), 2 input functions and 3 input attributes (window_dimensions, window_strides and padding). Note how the signature of the op only includes the types of its input values (but not the types of input functions and attributes which are provided inline).

%result = "stablehlo.select_and_scatter"(%operand, %source, %init_value) ({
  ^bb0(%arg0: tensor<i32>, %arg1: tensor<i32>):
    %0 = "stablehlo.compare"(%arg0, %arg1) {
      comparison_direction = #stablehlo<comparison_direction GE>
    } : (tensor<i32>, tensor<i32>) -> tensor<i1>
    "stablehlo.return"(%0) : (tensor<i1>) -> ()
}, {
  ^bb0(%arg0: tensor<i32>, %arg1: tensor<i32>):
    %0 = "stablehlo.add"(%arg0, %arg1) : (tensor<i32>, tensor<i32>) -> tensor<i32>
    "stablehlo.return"(%0) : (tensor<i32>) -> ()
}) {
  window_dimensions = dense<[3, 1]> : tensor<2xi64>,
  window_strides = dense<[2, 1]> : tensor<2xi64>,
  padding = dense<[[0, 1], [0, 0]]> : tensor<2x2xi64>
} : (tensor<4x2xi32>, tensor<2x2xi32>, tensor<i32>) -> tensor<4x2xi32>

Constants

Constant ::= BooleanConstant
           | IntegerConstant
           | FloatConstant
           | ComplexConstant
           | TensorConstant
           | QuantizedTensorConstant
           | StringConstant
           | EnumConstant

StableHLO constants have a literal and a type which together represent a StableHLO value. Generally, the type is part of the constant syntax, except when it's unambiguous (e.g. a boolean constant unambiguously has type i1, whereas an integer constant can have multiple possible types).

BooleanConstant ::= BooleanLiteral
BooleanLiteral  ::= 'true' | 'false'

Boolean constants represent boolean values true and false. Boolean constants have type i1.

IntegerConstant   ::= IntegerLiteral ':' IntegerType
IntegerLiteral    ::= ['-' | '+'] DecimalDigits
                    | ['-' | '+'] '0x' HexadecimalDigits
DecimalDigits     ::= decimalDigit {decimalDigit}
HexadecimalDigits ::= hexadecimalDigit {hexadecimalDigit}
decimalDigit      ::= '0' | ... | '9'
hexadecimalDigit  ::= decimalDigit | 'a' | ... | 'f' | 'A' | ... | 'F'

Integer constants represent integer values via strings that use decimal or hexadecimal notation. Other bases, e.g. binary or octal, are not supported. Integer constants have the following constraints:

  • (C1) is_wellformed(integer_literal, integer_type).
FloatConstant  ::= FloatLiteral ':' FloatType
FloatLiteral   ::= SignPart IntegerPart FractionalPart ScientificPart
                 | '0x' [HexadecimalDigits]
SignPart       ::= ['-' | '+']
IntegerPart    ::= DecimalDigits
FractionalPart ::= ['.' [DecimalDigits]]
ScientificPart ::= [('e' | 'E') ['-' | '+'] DecimalDigits]

Floating-point constants represent floating-point values via strings that use decimal or scientific notation. Additionally, hexadecimal notation can be used to directly specify the underlying bits in the floating-point format of the corresponding type. Floating-point constants have the following constraints:

  • (C1) If non-hexadecimal notation is used, is_wellformed(float_literal, float_type).
  • (C2) If hexadecimal notation is used, size(hexadecimal_digits) = num_bits(float_type) / 4.
ComplexConstant ::= ComplexLiteral ':' ComplexType
ComplexLiteral  ::= '(' RealPart ',' ImaginaryPart ')'
RealPart        ::= FloatLiteral
ImaginaryPart   ::= FloatLiteral

Complex constants represent complex values using lists of a real part (comes first) and an imaginary part (comes second). For example, (1.0, 0.0) : complex<f32> represents 1.0 + 0.0i, and (0.0, 1.0) : complex<f32> represents 0.0 + 1.0i. The order in which these parts are then stored in memory is implementation-defined. Complex constants have the following constraints:

  • (C1) is_wellformed(real_part, complex_element_type(complex_type)).
  • (C2) is_wellformed(imaginary_part, complex_element_type(complex_type)).
TensorConstant ::= TensorLiteral ':' TensorType
TensorLiteral  ::= 'dense' '<' (DenseLiteral | ElementLiteral) '>'
DenseLiteral   ::= DenseDimension | DenseElements
DenseDimension ::= '[' [DenseLiteral {',' DenseLiteral}] ']'
DenseElements  ::= [ElementLiteral {',' ElementLiteral}]
ElementLiteral ::= BooleanLiteral | IntegerLiteral | FloatLiteral | ComplexLiteral

Tensor constants represent tensor values using nested lists specified via NumPy notation. For example, dense<[[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]]> : tensor<2x3xi32> represents a tensor value with the following mapping from indices to elements: {0, 0} => 1, {0, 1} => 2, {0, 2} => 3, {1, 0} => 4, {1, 1} => 5, {1, 2} => 6. The order in which these elements are then stored in memory is implementation-defined. Tensor constants have the following constraints:

  • (C1) has_syntax(tensor_literal, element_type(tensor_type)), where:
    • has_syntax(element_literal: Syntax, element_type: Type) = is_wellformed(element_literal, type).
    • has_syntax(tensor_literal: List, element_type: Type) = has_syntax(tensor_literal..., element_type).
  • (C2) has_shape(tensor_literal, shape(tensor_type)), where:
    • has_shape(element_literal: Syntax, []) = true.
    • has_shape(tensor_literal: List, shape: List) = size(tensor_literal) = shape[0] and has_shape(tensor_literal..., shape[1:]).
    • otherwise, false.
QuantizedTensorConstant ::= QuantizedTensorLiteral ':' QuantizedTensorType
QuantizedTensorLiteral  ::= 'dense' '<' (DenseLiteral | ElementLiteral) '>'

Quantized tensor constants represent quantized tensor values using the same notation as tensor constants, with elements specified as constants of their storage type. Quantized tensor constants have the following constraints:

  • (C1) has_syntax(quantized_tensor_literal, storage_type(quantized_tensor_type)).
  • (C2) has_shape(quantized_tensor_literal, shape(quantized_tensor_type)).
StringConstant  ::= StringLiteral
StringLiteral   ::= '"' {stringCharacter | escapeSequence} '"'
stringCharacter ::= all ASCII characters except '\00', '\01', ... '\1f' and '"'
escapeSequence  ::= '\' ('"' | '\' | 'n' | 't' | (hexadecimalDigit hexadecimalDigit))

String literals consist of bytes specified using ASCII characters and escape sequences. They are encoding-agnostic, so the interpretation of these bytes is implementation-defined. String literals have type string.

Semantics

Within each process group in the StableHLO process grid, applies a reduction function computation to the values of the operand tensor from each process and produces a result tensor.

The operation splits the StableHLO process grid into process_groups which is defined as follows:

    • exec(node) = computation(exec(node.left), exec(node.right)).
    • exec(leaf) = leaf.value.

bitcast_convert

Semantics

Performs a bitcast operation on operand tensor and produces a result tensor where the bits of the entire operand tensor are reinterpreted using the type of the result tensor.

More formally, given E = element_type(operand), E' = element_type(result), and R = rank(operand):

  • If num_bits(E') < num_bits(E), bits(result[i0, ..., iR-1, :]) = bits(operand[i0, ..., iR-1]).

  • If num_bits(E') = num_bits(E), bits(result[i0, ..., iR-1]) = bits(operand[i0, ..., iR-1]).

bits returns in-memory representation of a given value, and its behavior is implementation-defined because the exact representation of tensors is implementation-defined, and the exact representation of element types is implementation-defined as well.

The output values in the opposite triangle, i.e. the strict upper triangle or strict lower triangle correspondingly, are implementation-defined.

Semantics

Clamps every element of the operand tensor between a minimum and maximum value and produces a result tensor.

For quantized types, performs dequantize_op_quantize(clamp, min, operand, max, type(result)).

compare

Semantics

Performs element-wise comparison of lhs and rhs tensors according to comparison_direction and compare_type, and produces a result tensor.

The values of comparison_direction and compare_type have the following semantics:

For boolean and integer element types:

  • EQ: lhs = rhs.
  • NE: lhs != rhs.
  • GE: lhs >= rhs.
  • GT: lhs > rhs.
  • LE: lhs <= rhs.
  • LT: lhs < rhs.

For floating-point element types with compare_type = FLOAT, the op implements the following IEEE-754 operations:

  • EQ: compareQuietEqual.
  • NE: compareQuietNotEqual.
  • GE: compareQuietGreaterEqual.
  • GT: compareQuietGreater.
  • LE: compareQuietLessEqual.
  • LT: compareQuietLess.

For floating-point element types with compare_type = TOTALORDER, the op uses the combination of totalOrder and compareQuietEqual operations from IEEE-754. This feature appears to be unused, so in the future, we are planning to remove it (#584).

For complex element types, lexicographic comparison of (real, imag) pairs is performed using the provided comparison_direction and compare_type. Imposing an ordering on complex numbers involves surprising semantics, so in the future we are planning to remove support for complex numbers when comparison_direction is GE, GT, LE or LT (#560).

 More Examples

convert

Semantics

Performs an element-wise conversion from one element type to another on operand tensor and produces a result tensor.

For boolean-to-any-supported-type conversions, the value false is converted to zero, and the value true is converted to one. For any-supported-type-to-boolean conversions, a zero value is converted to false, and non-zero values are converted to true. See below for how this work for complex types.

For conversions involving integer-to-integer, integer-to-floating-point or floating-point-to-floating-point, if the source value can be exactly represented in the destination type, the result value is that exact representation. Otherwise, the behavior is TBD (#180).

For conversions involving floating-point-to-integer, the fractional part is truncated. If the truncated value cannot be represented in the destination type, the behavior is TBD (#180).

Conversion involving complex-to-complex follow the same behavior of floating-point-to-floating-point conversions for converting real and imaginary parts.

For complex-to-any-other-type and any-other-type-to-complex conversions, the source imaginary value is ignored or the destination imaginary value is zeroed, respectively. The conversion of the real part follows the floating-point conversions.

In principle, this operation could express dequantization (conversion from quantized tensors to regular tensors), quantization (conversion from regular tensors to quantized tensors) and requantization (conversion between quantized tensors), but at the moment we have dedicated operations for that - uniform_dequantize for the first use case and uniform_quantize for the second and the third use cases. In the future, these two ops may be merged into convert (#1576).

convolution

Semantics

Computes dot products between windows of lhs and slices of rhs and produces result. The following diagram shows how elements in result are computed from lhs and rhs using a concrete example.

convolution

More formally, consider the following reframing of the inputs in terms of lhs in order to be able to express windows of lhs:

  • lhs_window_dimensions = lhs_shape(dim(lhs, input_batch_dimension), dim(rhs, kernel_spatial_dimensions), dim(lhs, input_feature_dimension)).
  • lhs_window_strides = lhs_shape(1, window_strides, 1).
  • lhs_padding = lhs_shape([0, 0], padding, [0, 0]).
  • lhs_base_dilations = lhs_shape(1, lhs_dilation, 1).
  • lhs_window_dilations = lhs_shape(1, rhs_dilation, 1).

This reframing uses the following helper functions:

  • lhs_shape(n, hw, c) = permute([n] + hw + [c], [input_batch_dimension] + input_spatial_dimensions + [input_feature_dimension]).
  • result_shape(n1, hw, c1) = permute([n1] + hw + [c1], [output_batch_dimension] + output_spatial_dimensions + [output_feature_dimension]).
  • permute([j0, j1, ..., jR-1], permutation) = [i0, i1, ..., iR-1] where j[d] = i[permutation[d]].

If feature_group_count = 1 and batch_group_count = 1, then for all output_spatial_index in index_space(dim(result, output_spatial_dimensions...)), result[result_shape(:, output_spatial_index, :)] = dot_product where:

  • padding_value = constant(0, element_type(lhs)).
  • padded_lhs = pad(lhs, padding_value, lhs_padding[:, 0], lhs_padding[:, 1], lhs_base_dilations - 1).
  • lhs_window_start = lhs_shape(0, output_spatial_index, 0) * lhs_window_strides.
  • lhs_window = slice(padded_lhs, lhs_window_start, lhs_window_start + lhs_window_dimensions, lhs_window_dilations).
  • reversed_lhs_window = reverse(lhs_window, [input_spatial_dimensions[dim] for dim in range(size(window_reversal)) if window_reversal[dim] = true]). This feature appears to be unused, so in the future we are planning to remove it (#1181).
  • dot_product = dot_general(reversed_lhs_window, rhs, lhs_batching_dimensions=[], lhs_contracting_dimensions=input_spatial_dimensions + [input_feature_dimension], rhs_batching_dimensions=[], rhs_contracting_dimensions=kernel_spatial_dimensions + [kernel_input_feature_dimension]).

If feature_group_count > 1:

  • lhses = split(lhs, feature_group_count, input_feature_dimension).
  • rhses = split(rhs, feature_group_count, kernel_output_feature_dimension).
  • results... = convolution(lhses..., rhses..., ..., feature_group_count=1, ...).
  • result = concatenate(results, output_feature_dimension).

If batch_group_count > 1:

  • lhses = split(lhs, batch_group_count, input_batch_dimension).
  • rhses = split(rhs, batch_group_count, kernel_output_feature_dimension).
  • results... = convolution(lhses..., rhses..., ..., batch_group_count=1, ...).

Computes dot products between slices of lhs and slices of rhs and produces a result tensor.

More formally, result[result_index] = dot_product, where:

  • rhs_result_dimensions = [d for d in axes(rhs) and d not in rhs_batching_dimensions and d not in rhs_contracting_dimensions].
  • result_batching_index + result_lhs_index + result_rhs_index = result_index where size(result_batching_index) = size(lhs_batching_dimensions), size(result_lhs_index) = size(lhs_result_dimensions) and size(result_rhs_index) = size(rhs_result_dimensions).

For quantized types, performs dequantize_op_quantize( lambda lhs, rhs: dot_general(lhs, rhs, lhs_batching_dimensions, rhs_batching_dimensions, lhs_contracting_dimensions, rhs_contracting_dimensions, precision_config), lhs, rhs, type(result)).

precision_config controls the tradeoff between speed and accuracy for computations on accelerator backends. This can be one of the following (at the moment, the semantics of these enum values is underspecified, but we are planning to address this in #755):

  • DEFAULT: Fastest calculation, but least accurate approximation to the original number.
  • HIGH: Slower calculation, but more accurate approximation to the original number.
  • HIGHEST: Slowest calculation, but most accurate approximation to the original number.

fft

Semantics

Performs the forward and inverse Fourier transforms for real and complex inputs/outputs.

fft_type is one of the following:

  • FFT: Forward complex-to-complex FFT.
  • IFFT: Inverse complex-to-complex FFT.
  • RFFT: Forward real-to-complex FFT.
  • IRFFT: Inverse real-to-complex FFT (i.e. takes complex, returns real).

More formally, given the function fft which takes 1-dimensional tensors of complex types as input, produces 1-dimensional tensors of same types as output and computes the discrete Fourier transform:

For fft_type = FFT, result is defined as the final result of a series of L computations where L = size(fft_length). For example, for L = 3:

  • result1[i0, ..., :] = fft(operand[i0, ..., :]).
  • result2[i0, ..., :, iR-1] = fft(result1[i0, ..., :, iR-1]).
  • result[i0, ..., :, iR-2, iR-1] = fft(result2[i0, ..., :, iR-2, iR-1]).

Furthermore, given the function ifft which has the same type signature and computes the inverse of fft:

For fft_type = IFFT, result is defined as the inverse of the computations for fft_type = FFT. For example, for L = 3:

  • result1[i0, ..., :, iR-2, iR-1] = ifft(operand[i0, ..., :, iR-2, iR-1]).
  • result2[i0, ..., :, iR-1] = ifft(result1[i0, ..., :, iR-1]).
  • result[i0, ..., :] = ifft(result2[i0, ..., :]).

Furthermore, given the function rfft which takes 1-dimensional tensors of floating-point types, produces 1-dimensional tensors of complex types of the same floating-point semantics and works as follows:

  • rfft(real_operand) = truncated_result where
  • complex_operand... = (real_operand..., 0.0).
  • complex_result = fft(complex_operand).
  • truncated_result = complex_result[:(rank(complex_result) / 2 + 1)].

(When the discrete Fourier transform is computed for real operands, the first N/2 + 1 elements of the result unambiguously define the rest of the result, so the result of rfft is truncated to avoid computing redundant elements).

For fft_type = RFFT, result is defined as the final result of a series of L computations where L = size(fft_length). For example, for L = 3:

  • result1[i0, ..., :] = rfft(operand[i0, ..., :]).
  • result2[i0, ..., :, iR-1] = fft(result1[i0, ..., :, iR-1]).
  • result[i0, ..., :, iR-2, iR-1] = fft(result2[i0, ..., :, iR-2, iR-1]).

Finally, given the function irfft which has the same type signature and computes the inverse of rfft:

For fft_type = IRFFT, result is defined as the inverse of the computations for fft_type = RFFT. For example, for L = 3:

  • result1[i0, ..., :, iR-2, iR-1] = ifft(operand[i0, ..., :, iR-2, iR-1]).
  • result2[i0, ..., :, iR-1] = ifft(result1[i0, ..., :, iR-1]).
  • result[i0, ..., :] = irfft(result2[i0, ..., :]).

    • If fft_type = RFFT, element_type(operand) is a floating-point type and element_type(result) is a complex type of the same floating-point semantics.

  • (C3) 1 <= size(fft_length) <= 3.

    • If fft_type = IRFFT, dim(operand, -1) = dim(result, -1) = 0 ? 0 : dim(result, -1) / 2 + 1.

gather

Semantics

Gathers slices from operand tensor from offsets specified in start_indices and produces a result tensor.

The following diagram shows how elements in result map on elements in operand using a concrete example. The diagram picks a few example result indices and explains in detail which operand indices they correspond to.

gather

More formally, result[result_index] = operand[operand_index] where:

  • batch_dims = [d for d in axes(result) and d not in offset_dims].
  • batch_index = result_index[batch_dims...].
  • start_index is defined as:
    • start_indices[bi0, ..., :, ..., biN] where bi are individual elements in batch_index and : is inserted at the index_vector_dim index, if index_vector_dim < rank(start_indices).
    • [start_indices[batch_index]] otherwise.
  • For d_operand in axes(operand),
    • full_start_index[d_operand] = clamp(start_index[d_start], 0, dim(operand, d_operand) - slice_sizes[d_operand]) if d_operand = start_index_map[d_start].
    • full_start_index[d_operand] = 0 otherwise.
  • offset_index = result_index[offset_dims...].
  • full_offset_index = [oi0, ..., 0, ..., oiN] where oi are individual elements in offset_index, and 0 is inserted at indices from collapsed_slice_dims.
  • operand_index = full_start_index + full_offset_index.

If indices_are_sorted is true then the implementation can assume that start_indices are sorted with respect to start_index_map, otherwise the behavior is undefined. More formally, for all i1 < i2 from indices(result), full_start_index(i1) <= full_start_index(i2).

The amount of padding can be negative, where the absolute value of negative padding indicates the number of elements to remove from the specified dimension.

interior_padding specifies the amount of padding added between any two elements in each dimension which may not be negative. Interior padding occurs before edge padding such that negative edge padding will remove elements from the interior-padded operand.

Semantics

Receives data from a channel with channel_id and produces results.

If is_host_transfer is true, then the operation transfers data from the host. Otherwise, it transfers data from another device. What this means is implementation-defined. This flag duplicates the information provided in channel_type, so in the future we are planning to only keep one of them (#666).

results consist of payload values which come first and a token which comes last. In the future, we are planning to split the payload and the token into two separate outputs to improve clarity (#670).

 More Examples

reduce

Semantics

Applies a reduction function body to inputs and init_values along the dimensions and produces results tensors.

The order of reductions is implementation-defined, which means that body and init_values must form a monoid to guarantee that the operation produces the same results for all inputs on all implementations. However, this condition doesn't hold for many popular reductions. E.g. floating-point addition for body and zero for init_values don't actually form a monoid because floating-point addition is not associative.

More formally, results...[j0, ..., jR-1] = reduce(input_slices_converted) where:

  • input_slices = inputs...[j0, ..., :, ..., jR-1], where : are inserted at dimensions.
  • input_slices_converted = to_destination_type(input_slices..., type(func_inputs(body)[:len(func_inputs(body))//2])...).
  • init_values_converted = to_destination_type(init_values..., type(func_inputs(body)[len(func_inputs(body))//2:])...).
  • reduce(input_slices_converted) = exec(schedule) for some binary tree schedule where:
    • exec(node) = body(exec(node.left), exec(node.right)).
    • exec(leaf) = leaf.value.
  • schedule is an implementation-defined full binary tree whose in-order traversal consists of:
    • input_slices_converted...[index] values, for all index in index_space(input_slices_converted) in the ascending lexicographic order of index.
    • Interspersed with an implementation-defined amount of init_values_converted at implementation-defined positions.

reduce_precision

Semantics

Performs element-wise conversion of operand to another floating-point type that uses exponent_bits and mantissa_bits and back to the original floating-point type and produces an output tensor.

More formally:

  • The mantissa bits of the original value are updated to round the original value to the nearest value representable with mantissa_bits using roundToIntegralTiesToEven semantics.
  • Then, if mantissa_bits are smaller than the number of mantissa bits of the original value, the mantissa bits are truncated to mantissa_bits.
  • Then, if the exponent bits of the intermediate result don't fit into the range provided by exponent_bits, the intermediate result overflows to infinity using the original sign or underflows to zero using the original sign.
  • For quantized types, performs dequantize_op_quantize( lambda operand: reduce_precision(operand, exponent_bits, mantissa_bits), operand, type(result)).

Semantics

reduce_scatter

Within each process group in the StableHLO process grid, performs reduction, using computations, over the values of the operand tensor from each process, splits the reduction result along scatter_dimension into parts, and scatters the split parts between the processes to produce the result.

  • cross_replica_and_partition(replica_groups) if channel_id > 0 and use_global_device_ids = false.
  • flattened_ids(replica_groups) if channel_id > 0 and use_global_device_ids = true.

  • parts@sender = split(reduced_value@sender, dim(process_groups, 1), scatter_dimension).

remainder

Semantics

Performs element-wise remainder of dividend lhs and divisor rhs tensors and produces a result tensor.

More formally, the sign of the result is taken from the dividend, and the absolute value of the result is always less than the divisor's absolute value. The remainder is calculated as lhs - d * rhs, where d is given by:

  • For integers: stablehlo.divide(lhs, rhs).
  • For floats: division(lhs, rhs) from IEEE-754 with rounding attribute roundTowardZero.
  • For complex numbers: TBD (#997).
  • For quantized types:
    • dequantize_op_quantize(remainder, lhs, rhs, type(result)).

For floating-point element types, this operation is in contrast with the remainder operation from IEEE-754 specification where d is an integral value nearest to the exact value of lhs/rhs with ties to even.

rng

Semantics

Generates random numbers using the rng_distribution algorithm and produces a result tensor of a given shape shape.

If rng_distribution = UNIFORM, then the random numbers are generated following the uniform distribution over the interval [a, b). If a >= b, the behavior is undefined.

If rng_distribution = NORMAL, then the random numbers are generated following the normal distribution with mean = a and standard deviation = b. If b < 0, the behavior is undefined.

The exact way how random numbers are generated is implementation-defined. For example, they may or may not be deterministic, and they may or may not use hidden state.

In conversations with many stakeholders, this op has come up as effectively deprecated, so in the future we are planning to explore removing it (#597).

scatter

Semantics

Produces results tensors which are equal to inputs tensors except that several slices specified by scatter_indices are updated with the values updates using update_computation.

The following diagram shows how elements in updates... map on elements in results... using a concrete example. The diagram picks a few example updates... indices and explains in detail which results... indices they correspond to.

scatter

More formally, for all update_index in index_space(updates[0]):

  • update_scatter_dims = [d for d in axes(updates[0]) and d not in update_window_dims].
  • update_scatter_index = update_index[update_scatter_dims...].
  • start_index is defined as:
    • scatter_indices[si0, ..., :, ..., siN] where si are individual elements in update_scatter_index and : is inserted at the index_vector_dim index, if index_vector_dim < rank(scatter_indices).
    • [scatter_indices[update_scatter_index]] otherwise.
  • For d_input in axes(inputs[0]),
    • full_start_index[d_input] = start_index[d_start] if d_input = scatter_dims_to_operand_dims[d_start].
    • full_start_index[d_input] = 0 otherwise.
  • update_window_index = update_index[update_window_dims...].
  • full_window_index = [wi0, ..., 0, ..., wiN] where wi are individual elements in update_window_index, and 0 is inserted at indices from inserted_window_dims.
  • result_index = full_start_index + full_window_index.

Given that, results = exec(schedule, inputs), where:

  • schedule is an implementation-defined permutation of index_space(updates[0]).
  • exec([update_index, ...], results) = exec([...], updated_results) where:
    • If result_index is in bounds for shape(results...)
    • updates_converted = to_destination_type( updates...[update_index], type(func_inputs(update_computation) [len(func_inputs(update_computation))//2:])... )
    • updated_values = update_computation(results...[result_index], updates_converted)
    • updated_results is a copy of results with results...[result_index] set to updated_values....
    • Otherwise
    • updated_results = results.
  • exec([], results) = results.

If indices_are_sorted is true then the implementation can assume that scatter_indices are sorted with respect to scatter_dims_to_operand_dims, otherwise the behavior is undefined. More formally, for all i1 < i2 from indices(result), full_start_index(i1) <= full_start_index(i2).

If unique_indices is true then the implementation can assume that all result_index indices being scattered to are unique. If unique_indices is true but the indices being scattered to are not unique then the behavior is undefined.

select_and_scatter

Semantics

Scatters the values from the source tensor using scatter based on the outcome of reduce_window of the input tensor using select and produces a result tensor.

The following diagram shows how elements in result are computed from operand and source using a concrete example.

select_and_scatter

More formally:

  • selected_values = reduce_window_without_init(...) with the following inputs:

      return select(arg0, arg1) ? arg0 : arg1;
    

    where E = element_type(operand), and reduce_window_without_init works exactly like reduce_window, except that the schedule of the underlying reduce (see reduce) doesn't include init values. It is currently unspecified what happens if the corresponding window doesn't have values (#731).

send

Sends inputs to a channel channel_id and produces a result token.

If is_host_transfer is true, then the operation transfers data to the host. Otherwise, it transfers data to another device. What this means is implementation-defined. This flag duplicates the information provided in channel_type, so in the future we are planning to only keep one of them (#666).

sort

Semantics

Sorts 1-dimensional slices of inputs along the dimension dimension together, according to a comparator and produces results.

Unlike similar inputs in other operations, dimension allows negative values, with the semantics described below. In the future, this may be disallowed for consistency reasons (#1377).

If is_stable is true, then the sorting is stable, that is, relative order of elements considered to be equal by the comparator is preserved. For the case where there is a single input, two elements e1 and e2 are considered to be equal by the comparator if and only if comparator(e1, e2) = comparator(e2, e1) = false. See the formalization below for how this generalizes to multiple inputs.

More formally, for all result_index in index_space(results[0]):

  • adjusted_dimension = dimension >= 0 ? dimension : rank(inputs[0]) + dimension.
  • result_slice = [ri0, ..., :, ..., riR-1] where riN are individual elements in result_index, and : is inserted at adjusted_dimension.
  • inputs_together = (inputs[0]..., ..., inputs[N-1]...).
  • results_together[result_slice] = sort(inputs_together[result_slice], comparator_together).
  • where sort sorts a 1-dimensional slice in non-descending order expecting that comparator_together returns true if the left-hand side argument is less than the right-hand second argument.
  • def comparator_together(lhs_together, rhs_together):
      args = []
      for (lhs_el, rhs_el) in zip(lhs_together, rhs_together):
        args.append(lhs_el)
        args.append(rhs_el)
      return comparator(*args)

Solves batches of systems of linear equations with lower or upper triangular coefficient matrices.

More formally, given a and b, result[i0, ..., iR-3, :, :] is the solution to op(a[i0, ..., iR-3, :, :]) * x = b[i0, ..., iR-3, :, :] when left_side is true or x * op(a[i0, ..., iR-3, :, :]) = b[i0, ..., iR-3, :, :] when left_side is false, solving for the variable x where op(a) is determined by transpose_a, which can be one of the following:

  • NO_TRANSPOSE: Perform operation using a as-is.
  • TRANSPOSE: Perform operation on transpose of a.
  • ADJOINT: Perform operation on conjugate transpose of a.

Input data is read only from the lower triangle of a, if lower is true or upper triangle of a, otherwise. Output data is returned in the same triangle; the values in the other triangle are implementation-defined.

If unit_diagonal is true, then the implementation can assume that the diagonal elements of a are equal to 1, otherwise the behavior is undefined.

xor

Semantics

Performs element-wise XOR of two tensors lhs and rhs and produces a result tensor. Depending on the element type, does the following:

  • For booleans: logical XOR.
  • For integers: bitwise XOR.

Inputs

Label Name Type Constraints
(I1) lhs tensor of boolean or integer type (C1)
(I2) rhs tensor of boolean or integer type (C1)

Outputs

Name Type Constraints
result tensor of boolean or integer type (C1)

Constraints

  • (C1) type(lhs) = type(rhs) = type(result).

Examples

// Bitwise operation with with integer tensors
// %lhs: [[1, 2], [3, 4]]
// %rhs: [[5, 6], [7, 8]]
%result = "stablehlo.xor"(%lhs, %rhs) : (tensor<2x2xi32>, tensor<2x2xi32>) -> tensor<2x2xi32>
// %result: [[4, 4], [4, 12]]

// Logical operation with with boolean tensors
// %lhs: [[false, false], [true, true]]
// %rhs: [[false, true], [false, true]]
%result = "stablehlo.xor"(%lhs, %rhs) : (tensor<2x2xi1>, tensor<2x2xi1>) -> tensor<2x2xi1>
// %result: [[false, true], [true, false]]

Execution

Sequential execution

A StableHLO program is executed by providing input values to the main function and computing output values. Output values of a function are computed by executing the graph of ops rooted in the corresponding return op.

The execution order is implementation-defined as long as it is aligned with dataflow, i.e. if ops are executed before their uses. In StableHLO, all side-effecting ops consume one token and produce one token (multiple tokens can be multiplexed into one token via after_all), so the execution order of side effects is also aligned with dataflow. For example, in the below program there are two possible execution orders: %0%1%2return and %1%0%2return.

func.func @main() -> tensor<f64> {
  %0 = stablehlo.constant dense<1.0> : tensor<f64>
  %1 = stablehlo.constant dense<2.0> : tensor<f64>
  %2 = stablehlo.add %0, %1 : tensor<f64>
  return %2 : tensor<f64>
}

More formally, a StableHLO process is a combination of: 1) a StableHLO program, 2) operation statuses (not executed yet, already executed), and 3) intermediate values that the process is working on. The process starts with input values to the main function, progresses through the graph of ops updating operation statuses and intermediate values and finishes with output values. Further formalization is TBD (#484).

Parallel execution

StableHLO programs can be executed in parallel, organized into a 2D process grid of num_replicas by num_partitions which both have type ui32.

In the StableHLO process grid, num_replicas * num_partitions of StableHLO processes are executing at the same time. Each process has a unique process_id = (replica_id, partition_id), where replica_id in replica_ids = range(num_replicas) and partition_id in partition_ids = range(num_partitions) which both have type ui32.

The size of the process grid is known statically for every program (in the future, we are planning to make it an explicit part of StableHLO programs #650), and the position within the process grid is known statically for every process. Each process has access to its position within the process grid via the replica_id and partition_id ops.

Within the process grid, the programs can all be the same (in the "Single Program, Multiple Data" style), can all be different (in the "Multiple Program, Multiple Data" style) or something in between. In the future, we are planning to introduce support for other idioms of defining parallel StableHLO programs, including GSPMD (#619).

Within the process grid, the processes are mostly independent from each other - they have separate operation statuses, separate input/intermediate/output values and most of the ops are executed separately between processes, with the exception of a small number of collective ops described below.

Given that execution of most of the ops is only using values from the same process, it is usually unambiguous to refer to these values by their names. However, when describing semantics of collective ops, that is insufficient, and that gives rise to the notation name@process_id to refer to the value name within a particular process. (From that perspective, unqualified name can be viewed as a shorthand for name@(replica_id(), partition_id())).

The execution order across processes is implementation-defined, except for the synchronization introduced by point-to-point communication and collective ops as described below.

Point-to-point communication

StableHLO processes can communicate with each other through StableHLO channels. A channel is represented by a positive id of type si64. Through various ops, it is possible to send values to channels and receive them from channels.

Further formalization, e.g. where these channel ids are coming from, how processes programs become aware of them and what kind of synchronization is introduced by them, is TBD (#484).

Streaming communication

Every StableHLO process has access to two streaming interfaces:

  • Infeed that can be read from.
  • Outfeed that can be written to.

Unlike channels, which are used to communicate between processes and therefore have processes at both of their ends, infeeds and outfeeds have their other end implementation-defined.

Further formalization, e.g. how streaming communication influences execution order and what kind of synchronization is introduced by it, is TBD (#484).

Collective ops

There are six collective ops in StableHLO: all_gather, all_reduce, all_to_all, collective_broadcast, collective_permute, and reduce_scatter. All these ops split the processes in the StableHLO process grid into StableHLO process groups and execute a joint computation within each process group, independently from other process groups.

Within each process group, collective ops may introduce a synchronization barrier. Further formalization, e.g. elaborating on when exactly this synchronization happens, how exactly the processes arrive at this barrier, and what happens if they don't, is TBD (#484).

If the process group involves cross-partition communication, i.e. there are processes in the process group whose partition ids are different, then execution of the collective op needs a channel, and the collective op must provide a positive channel_id of type si64. Cross-replica communication doesn't need channels.

The computations performed by the collective ops are specific to individual ops and are described in individual op sections above. However, the strategies by which the process grid is split into process groups are shared between these ops and are described in this section. More formally, StableHLO supports the following four strategies.

cross_replica

Only cross-replica communications happen within each process group. This strategy takes replica_groups - a list of lists of replica ids - and computes a Cartesian product of replica_groups by partition_ids. replica_groups must have unique elements and cover all replica_ids. More formally, using Python syntax:

def cross_replica(replica_groups: List[List[ReplicaId]]) -> List[List[ProcessId]]:
  for replica_group in replica_groups:
    for partition_id in partition_ids:
      process_group = []
      for replica_id in replica_group:
        process_group.append((replica_id, partition_id))
      yield process_group

For example, for replica_groups = [[0, 1], [2, 3]] and num_partitions = 2, cross_replica will produce [[(0, 0), (1, 0)], [(0, 1), (1, 1)], [(2, 0), (3, 0)], [(2, 1), (3, 1)]].

cross_partition

Only cross-partition communications happen within each process group. This strategy takes partition_groups - a list of lists of partition ids - and computes a Cartesian product of partition_groups by replica_ids. partition_groups must have unique elements and cover all partition_ids. More formally, using Python syntax:

def cross_partition(partition_groups: List[List[PartitionId]]) -> List[List[ProcessId]]:
  for partition_group in partition_groups:
    for replica_id in replica_ids:
      process_group = []
      for partition_id in partition_group:
        process_group.append((replica_id, partition_id))
      yield process_group

For example, for partition_groups = [[0, 1]] and num_replicas = 4, cross_partition will produce [[(0, 0), (0, 1)], [(1, 0), (1, 1)], [(2, 0), (2, 1)], [(3, 0), (3, 1)]].

cross_replica_and_partition

Both cross-replica and cross-partition communications may happen within each process group. This strategy takes replica_groups - a list of lists of replica ids - and computes Cartesian products of each replica_group by partition_ids. replica_groups must have unique elements and cover all replica_ids. More formally, using Python syntax:

def cross_replica_and_partition(replica_groups: List[List[ReplicaId]]) -> List[List[ProcessId]]:
  for replica_group in replica_groups:
    process_group = []
    for partition_id in partition_ids:
      for replica_id in replica_group:
        process_group.append((replica_id, partition_id))
    yield process_group

For example, for replica_groups = [[0, 1], [2, 3]] and num_partitions = 2, cross_replica_and_partition will produce [[(0, 0), (1, 0), (0, 1), (1, 1)], [(2, 0), (3, 0), (2, 1), (3, 1)]].

flattened_ids

This strategy takes flattened_id_groups - a list of lists of "flattened" process ids in the form of replica_id * num_partitions + partition_id - and turns them into process ids. flattened_id_groups must have unique elements and cover all process_ids. More formally, using Python syntax:

def flattened_ids(flattened_id_groups: List[List[ui32]]) -> List[List[ProcessId]]:
  for flattened_id_group in flattened_id_groups:
    process_group = []
    for flattened_id in flattened_id_group:
      replica_id = flattened_id // num_partitions
      partition_id = flattened_id % num_partitions
      process_group.append((replica_id, partition_id))
    yield process_group

For example, for flattened_id_groups = [[0, 1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6, 7]], num_replicas = 4 and num_partitions = 2, flattened_ids will produce [[(0, 0), (0, 1), (1, 0), (1, 1)], [(2, 0), (2, 1), (3, 0), (3, 1)]].

Accuracy

At the moment, StableHLO does not provide guarantees about numerical accuracy, but this may change in the future (#1156).

Execution semantics of quantized operation

The interpretation of quantized StableHLO operations may vary depending on the hardware requirements and capabilities. For instance, some hardware may opt to interpret quantized operations using a "dequantize, perform floating-point operation, and finally quantize" strategy. Others may perform the entire computation with integer arithmetic. Consequently, the interpretation of quantized StableHLO operations is exclusively determined by the specific implementation. The interpretation of hybrid quantization (#1575) should be based on the it's semantics as prescribed in the specification (via 1792).

Errors

StableHLO programs are validated through an extensive set of constraints for individual ops, which rules out many classes of errors prior to run time. However, error conditions are still possible, e.g. through integer overflows, out-of-bounds accesses, etc. Unless explicitly called out, all these errors result in implementation-defined behavior, but this may change in the future (#1157).

Floating-point exceptions

As an exception to this rule, floating-point exceptions in StableHLO programs have well-defined behavior. Operations which result in exceptions defined by the IEEE-754 standard (invalid operation, division-by-zero, overflow, underflow, or inexact exceptions) produce default results (as defined in the standard) and continue execution without raising the corresponding status flag; similar to raiseNoFlag exception handling from the standard. Exceptions for nonstandard operations (e.g. complex arithmetic and certain transcendental functions) are implementation-defined.

Shape mismatches

StableHLO supports dynamically-shaped tensors. However, shapes have to agree at runtime, otherwise the behavior is undefined. StableHLO does not explicitly provide an op that can assert that a tensor has a given shape at runtime. Generating correct code is the responsibility of the producer.

As a specific example, the below program is valid. However, at runtime, the exact shapes of %arg0 and %arg1 will have to be the same, otherwise the behavior of the program is undefined:

func.func @foo(%arg0: tensor<?xi32>, %arg1: tensor<?xi32>) -> tensor<?xi32> {
    %0 = stablehlo.add %arg0, %arg1 : tensor<?xi32>
    return %0 : tensor<?xi32>
}

Notation

For describing syntax, this document is using the modified ISO flavor of EBNF syntax (ISO/IEC 14977:1996, Wikipedia), with two modifications: 1) rules are defined using ::= rather than =,

2) concatenation is expressed using juxtaposition rather than ,.

For describing semantics (i.e. within "Types", "Constants" and "Ops" sections), we are using formulas which are based on Python syntax extended with support for concisely expressing array operations as described below. This works well for small snippets of code, but in rare cases when larger snippets of code are needed, we use vanilla Python syntax which is always introduced explicitly.

Formulas

Let's explore how formulas work based on an example from the dot_general specification. One of the constraints for this operation looks as follows: dim(lhs, lhs_batching_dimensions...) = dim(rhs, rhs_batching_dimensions...).

The names used in this formula come from two sources: 1) global functions, i.e. dim, 2) member definitions of the corresponding program element, i.e. lhs, lhs_batching_dimensions, rhs and rhs_batching_dimensions inputs defined in the "Inputs" section of dot_general.

As mentioned above, the syntax of this formula is Python-based with some conciseness-oriented extensions. To make sense of the formula, let's transform it into vanilla Python syntax.

A) In these formulas, we are using = to represent equality, so the first step towards obtaining Python syntax is replacing = with ==, as follows: dim(lhs, lhs_batching_dimensions...) == dim(rhs, rhs_batching_dimensions...).

B) Also, these formulas support ellipses (...) which turn scalar expressions into tensor expressions. In a nutshell, f(xs...) roughly means "for each scalar x in the tensor xs, compute a scalar f(x) and then return all these scalar results together as a tensor result". In vanilla Python syntax, our example formula turns into: [dim(lhs, dim1) for dim1 in lhs_batching_dimensions] == [dim(rhs, dim2) for dim2 in rhs_batching_dimensions].

Thanks to ellipses, it is often possible to avoid working at the level of individual scalars. However, in some tricky cases, lower-level semi-informal syntax may be used like in the start_indices[bi0, ..., :, ..., biN] formula from the gather specification. In the service of conciseness, we don't provide an exact formalism for translating such syntax to vanilla Python, in hopes that it is still intuitively understandable on case-by-case basis. Please let us know if some specific formulas look opaque, and we'll try to improve them.

Also, you will notice that formulas use ellipses to expand all sorts of lists, including tensors, lists of tensors (which e.g. can arise from a variadic number of tensors), etc. This is another area where we don't provide an exact formalism (e.g. lists are not even part of the StableHLO type system) and instead rely on intuitive understandability.

C) The final noteworthy notational vehicle that we employ is implicit broadcasting. While the StableHLO opset doesn't support implicit broadcasting, the formulas do, also in the service of conciseness. In a nutshell, if a scalar is used in a context where a tensor is expected, the scalar is broadcasted to the expected shape.

To continue the dot_general example, here's another constraint: 0 <= lhs_batching_dimensions < rank(lhs). As defined in the dot_general specification, lhs_batching_dimensions is a tensor, however both 0 and rank(lhs) are scalars. After we apply implicit broadcasting, the formula will become [0, ..., 0] <= lhs_batching_dimensions < [rank(lhs), ..., rank(lhs)].

When applied to a particular dot_general operation, this formula will evaluate to a tensor of booleans. When formulas are used as constraints, the constraint holds if the formula evaluates to either true or to a tensor which only has true elements.

Names

In formulas, lexical scope includes: 1) global functions, 2) member definitions,

3) local definitions. The list of global functions is provided below. The list of element definitions depends on the program element that the notation is applied to:

  • For operations, member definitions include names introduced in "Inputs" and "Outputs" sections.
  • For everything else, member definitions include structural parts of the program element, named after the corresponding EBNF non-terminals. Most of the time, the names of these structural parts are obtained by converting the names of the non-terminals to snake case (e.g. IntegerLiteral => integer_literal), but sometimes names get abbreviated in the process (e.g. QuantizationStorageType => storage_type) in which case the names are introduced explicitly similarly to "Inputs" / "Outputs" sections in operation specifications.
  • Additionally, member definitions always include self to refer to the corresponding program element.

Values

When formulas are evaluated, they work with the following types of values: 1) Value (actual values, e.g. dense<[[1, 2], [3, 4]]> : tensor<2x2xi32>; they always know their types), 2) Placeholder (future values, e.g. lhs, rhs or result; their actual values are not known yet, only their types are known), 3) Type (types as defined in the "Types" section), 4) Function (global functions as defined in the "Functions" section).

Depending on the context, names may be referring to different values. More specifically, the "Semantics" section for ops (and equivalents for other program elements) defines runtime logic, so all inputs are available as Value. In contrast, the "Constraints" section for ops (and equivalents) defines "compile-time" logic, i.e. something that is typically executed before runtime, so only constant inputs are available as Value and other inputs are available only as Placeholder.

Names In "Semantics" In "Constraints"
Global functions Function Function
Constant inputs Value Value
Non-constant inputs Value Placeholder
Outputs Value Placeholder
Local definitions Depends on the definition Depends on the definition

Let's consider an example transpose operation:

%result = "stablehlo.transpose"(%operand) {
  permutation = dense<[2, 1, 0]> : tensor<3xi64>
} : (tensor<2x3x2xi32>) -> tensor<2x3x2xi32>

For this operation, permutation is a constant, so it's available as a Value in both semantics and constraints. In contrast, operand and result are available as a Value in semantics but only as a Placeholder in constraints.

Functions

Construction of types

There are no functions that can be used to construct types. Instead, we directly use type syntax because it's typically more concise. E.g. (tensor<E>, tensor<E>) -> (tensor<E>) rather than function_type( [tensor_type([], E), tensor_type([], E)], [tensor_type([], E)]).

Functions on types

  • element_type is defined on tensor types and quantized tensor types and returns, respectively, the TensorElementType or QuantizedTensorElementType part of the corresponding TensorType or QuantizedTensorType.
def element_type(x: Value | Placeholder | Type):
 if type(x) == TensorType:
    return tensor_element_type(x)
  if type(x) == QuantizedTensorType:
    return quantized_tensor_element_type(x)
  if type(x) is not Type:
    return element_type(type(x))
  • is_per_axis_quantized(x: Value | Placeholder | Type) -> Value is a shortcut for is_quantized(x) and quantization_dimension(x) is not None.

  • is_per_tensor_quantized(x: Value | Placeholder | Type) -> Value is a shortcut for is_quantized(x) and quantization_dimension(x) is None.

  • is_promotable(x: Type, y: Type) -> bool checks if type x can be promoted to type y. When x and y are QuantizedTensorElementTypes, the promotion is applied only to the storage_type. This specific version of promotion is currently used in context of reduction computation (refer to RFC for more details).

def is_promotable(x: Type, y: Type) -> Value:
  is_same_type = (is_bool(x) and is_bool(y)) or
    (is_integer(x) and is_integer(y)) or (is_float(x) and is_float(y)) or
    (is_complex(x) and is_complex(y)) or
    (is_quantized(x) and is_quantized(y) and expressed_type(x) = expressed_type(y))

  if is_same_type == False:
    return False

  if is_integer(x) or is_float(x):
    return bitwidth(x) <= bitwidth(y)

  if is_complex(x):
    return bitwidth(element_type(x)) <= bitwidth(element_type(y))

  if is_quantized(x):
    return bitwidth(storage_type(x)) <= bitwidth(storage_type(y))

  return false
  • is_quantized(x: Value | Placeholder | Type) -> Value is a shortcut for is_quantized_tensor_element_type(x).

  • is_type_name(x: Value | Placeholder | Type) -> Value. Available for all types. For example, is_float(x) returns true if x is a FloatType. If x is a value or placeholder, this function is a shortcut for is_type_name(type(x)).

  • max_value(x: Type) -> Value returns the maximum value of an TensorElementType. If x is not an TensorElementType, returns None.

  • min_value(x: Type) -> Value returns the minimum possible value of an TensorElementType. If x is not an TensorElementType, returns None.

  • member_name(x: Value | Placeholder | Type) -> Any. Available for all member definitions member_name of all types. For example, tensor_element_type(x) returns the TensorElementType part of a corresponding TensorType. If x is a value or placeholder, this function is a shortcut for member_name(type(x)). If x is not a type that has an appropriate member, or a value or a placeholder of such a type, returns None.

Construction of values

  • operation_name(*xs: Value | Type) -> Value. Available for all operations. For example, add(lhs, rhs) takes two tensor values lhs and rhs and returns the output of evaluating the add operation with these inputs. For some operations e.g. broadcast_in_dim, types of their outputs are "load-bearing", i.e. needed to evaluate an operation. In this case, the function takes these types as arguments.

Functions on values

  • All Python's operators and functions are available. E.g. both subscription and slicing notations from Python are available to index into tensors, quantized tensors and tuples.

  • to_destination_type(x: Value, destination_type: Type) -> Value is defined on tensors and returns the converted value of x based on the type(x) and destination_type as follows:

def to_destination_type(x: Value, destination_type: Type) -> Value:
  if type(x) == destination_type:
    return x

  if is_quantized(destination_type):
    if is_quantized(type(x)):
      return quantize(x, destination_type)
    assert is_float(type(x))
    return quantize(x, destination_type)

  if is_quantized(type(x)):
    assert destination_type = expressed_type(type(x))
    return dequantize(type(x))

  return convert(x, destination_type)

There is early discussion on merging convert, uniform_quantize and uniform_dequantize operations (#1576). After the merge we do not need the above function and can use the operation name for convert instead.

  • is_nan(x: Value) -> Value is defined on tensors and returns true if all elements of x are NaN or false otherwise. If x is not a tensor, returns None.

  • is_sorted(x: Value) -> Value is defined on tensors and returns true if elements of x are sorted in ascending order with respect to the ascending lexicographical order of their indices or false otherwise. If x is not a tensor, returns None.

  • is_unique(x: Value) -> Value is defined on tensors and returns true if x doesn't have duplicate elements or false otherwise. If x is not a tensor, returns None.

  • member_name(x: Value) -> Any is defined for all member definitions member_name of all values. For example, real_part(x) returns the RealPart part of a corresponding ComplexConstant. If x is not a value that has an appropriate member, returns None.

  • same(x: Value) -> Value is defined on tensors and returns true if elements of x are all equal to each other or false otherwise. If the tensor doesn't have elements, that counts as "all equal to each other", i.e. the function returns true. If x is not a tensor, returns None.

  • split(x: Value, num_results: Value, axis: Value) -> Value is defined on tensors and returns num_results slices of x along the axis axis. If x is not a tensor or dim(x, axis) % num_results != 0, returns None.

  • is_defined_in_parent_scope(x: Value) -> Value is defined on strings and returns true if x is the name of a function defined in the same scope as the parent function of the relevant op.

  • is_namespaced_op_name(x: Value) -> Value is defined on strings and returns true if x is a valid op name, that is it respects the following regular expression: [a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_]*([.][a-zA-Z0-9_$]+)+

Shape computations

  • axes(x: Value | Placeholder | Type) -> Value is a shortcut for range(rank(x)).

  • dim(x: Value | Placeholder | Type, axis: Value) -> Value is a shortcut for shape(x)[axis].

  • dims(x: Value | Placeholder | Type, axes: List) -> List is a shortcut for list(map(lambda axis: dim(x, axis), axes)).

  • index_space(x: Value | Placeholder | Type) -> Value is defined on tensors and returns size(x) indices for the corresponding TensorType sorted in ascending lexicographical order, i.e. [0, ..., 0], [0, ..., 1], ..., shape(x) - 1. If x is not a tensor type, a quantized tensor type, or a value or a placeholder of one of these types, returns None.

  • rank(x: Value | Placeholder | Type) -> Value is a shortcut for size(shape(x)).

  • shape(x: Value | Placeholder | Type) -> Value is defined in the "Functions on types" section via member_name.

  • size(x: Value | Placeholder | Type) -> Value is a shortcut for reduce(lambda x, y: x * y, shape(x)).

Quantization computations

  • def baseline_element_type(x: Value | Placeholder | Type) -> Type is a shortcut for element_type(baseline_type(x)).

  • baseline_type is defined on tensor types and quantized tensor types and transforms them to a "baseline", i.e. a type with the same shape but with the quantization parameters of the element type reset to default values. This is used as a handy trick to compare both tensor and quantized tensor types uniformly, which is needed quite often. For quantized types, this enables comparing types ignoring the quantization parameters, that is, shape, storage_type, expressed_type, storage_min, storage_max, and quantization_dimension (for per-axis quantized type) must all match, but scales and zero points may differ.

def baseline_type(x: Value | Placeholder | Type) -> Type:
  if type(x) == TensorType:
    return x
  if type(x) == QuantizedTensorType:
    element_type = quantized_tensor_element_type(x)

      storage_type = storage_type(element_type),
      storage_min = storage_min(element_type),
      storage_max = storage_max(element_type),
      expressed_type = expressed_type(element_type),
      quantization_dimension = quantization_dimension(element_type),
      scales = [constant(1.0, expressed_type(element_type))] * dim(x, quantization_dimension(element_type)),
      zero_points = [constant(0, storage_type(element_type))] * dim(x, quantization_dimension(element_type)))
    return QuantizedTensorType(shape(x), baseline_element_type)
  if type(x) is not Type:
    return baseline_element_type(type(x))
  • dequantize is defined on quantized tensor types and turns them into floating-point tensor types. This happens via converting quantized elements which represent integer values of the storage type into corresponding floating-point values of the expressed type using the zero point and scale associated with the quantized element type.

  • dequantize_op_quantize is used to specify element-wise computations on quantized tensors. It dequantizes, i.e. turns quantized elements into their expressed types, then performs an operation, and then quantizes, i.e. turns the results back into their storage types. At the moment, this function only works for per-tensor quantization. Per-axis quantization is work in progress (#1574).

  • hybrid_dequantize_then_op is used to specify weight-only quantization for hybrid op which accepts lhs in floating-point and rhs in quantized types. It dequantizes quantized inputs into their expressed types and performs computation in float. Element type of float lhs tensor and expressed type of quantized rhs tensor should be identical.
def hybrid_dequantize_then_op(op, lhs, rhs):
  assert(is_float(lhs) and is_quantized(rhs) and element_type(lhs) == expressed_type(rhs))

Dynamism

StableHLO values can have dynamic dimension sizes, e.g. tensor<?xi64>. However, StableHLO values cannot have a dynamic number of dimensions (unranked dynamism, e.g. tensor<*xi64>). Operands and results are allowed to use dynamic dimension sizes, even if there are constraints on the sizes. Constraints will be verified statically if possible, otherwise they are deferred to runtime and mismatches will result in undefined behavior. See below for examples.

Shape mismatches for unary elementwise operations

Consider the following toy program:

func.func @foo(%arg0: tensor<?xf64>) {
  %0 = stablehlo.abs %arg0 : (tensor<?xf64>) -> tensor<2xf64>
  return
}

Such a program is unusual, because it is not common to know the shape of the result but not the shape of the input. Nonetheless, this is a valid StableHLO program. It is not possible to statically validate the abs operation in this program, because the exact shape of the operand is unknown. However, the shapes are certainly compatible, and this can be checked statically: ? could turn out to be 2 at runtime, and there would be no issue. However, ? could also turn out to be some other integer, in which case the behavior is undefined.

Note that if a dimension size is dynamic in the result, there cannot be undefined behavior. Indeed, there is no "expected" size, so there cannot be a mismatch.

Shape mismatches for binary elementwise operations

Consider the following toy program:

func.func @foo(%arg0: tensor<?xf64>, %arg1: tensor<?xf64>) {
  %0 = stablehlo.add %arg0, %arg0 : (tensor<?xf64>, tensor<?xf64>) -> tensor<?xf64>
  return
}

When it comes to binary elementwise operations, the shapes of the inputs and the result must agree at runtime. At compile time, static dimensions must be equal, otherwise they merely need to be compatible. If any dimension is dynamic in the inputs, then there could be undefined behavior at runtime, because the dynamic size may not match the corresponding size in the other operand (be it static or dynamic). If all the inputs are static, then whether the result is dynamic or not does not matter: statically known dimensions will be checked statically, and dynamic dimensions do not impose any constraints.

Shape mismatches for ops that take their output shape as an operand

Consider the following toy program:

func.func @foo(%arg0: tensor<2xi32>) {
  %0 = stablehlo.dynamic_iota %arg0, dim = 0 : (tensor<2xi32>) -> tensor<3x4xi64>
  return
}

The values in the shape operand at runtime must match the shape of the result, otherwise the behavior is undefined. That is, at runtime %arg0 must have a value of dense<[3, 4]> : tensor<2xi32>. If the shape operand is constant, this can be verified statically. If the result shape is fully dynamic, then there cannot be a mismatch.
