| # com.microsoft.SkipSimplifiedLayerNormalization |
|
|
| `com.microsoft` · ONNX Runtime contrib operator · contrib since_version 1 |
| |
| ## Description |
| |
| Adds `input` and `skip` (plus optional `bias`), then applies RMS normalization scaled by `gamma`. The optional second output exposes the pre-normalization sum. The schema's training-only mean and inverse-standard-deviation outputs are not implemented. |
| |
| See the [ONNX Runtime `SkipSimplifiedLayerNormalization` contrib-operator spec](https://github.com/microsoft/onnxruntime/blob/main/docs/ContribOperators.md#com.microsoft.SkipSimplifiedLayerNormalization) for the reference semantics. |

| ## Inputs |
| |
| | Name | Upstream name | Logical dtype | Rank | Shape | Description | Presence | |
| | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | |
| | `inputT` | `input` | `T` | — | — | Input tensor of shape `(token_count, hidden_size)` or `(batch, sequence, hidden_size)`, normalized over the last axis. | required | |
| | `skipT` | `skip` | `T` | — | — | Residual tensor of the same shape as `input`, added before normalization. | required | |
| | `gammaT` | `gamma` | `T` | `1` | — | 1-D scale tensor with shape `(hidden_size)` applied after normalization. | required | |
| | `biasT` | `bias` | `T` | `1` | — | Optional 1-D bias tensor with shape `(hidden_size)` added to the `input + skip` sum. | optional | |
|
|
| ## Outputs |
|
|
| | Name | Upstream name | Logical dtype | Rank | Shape | Description | Presence | |
| | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | |
| | `outputT` | `output` | `T` | same as `inputT` | same as `inputT` | Normalized output tensor with the same shape as `input`. | required | |
| | `residualT` | `input_skip_bias_sum` | `T` | same as `inputT` | same as `inputT` | Sum of `input`, `skip`, and optional `bias` before normalization, with the same shape as `input`. | optional | |
|
|
| ## Attributes |
|
|
| Default values (overridable per request): |
|
|
| | Attribute | Default | Description | |
| | --- | --- | --- | |
| | `epsilon` | `9.999999960041972e-13` | Non-negative epsilon added to the mean square before taking the square root. | |
|
|
| ## Type constraints |
|
|
| | Variable | Allowed dtypes | |
| | --- | --- | |
| | `T` | `float32`, `float16` | |
|
|
| ## Device requirements |
|
|
| Some implementation variants require `shader-f16`. These are route-specific capabilities, not package-wide requirements; availability also depends on the request shape and dtype. |

|
| ## Use with `@huggingface/kernels` |
|
|
| ```sh |
| npm install --save-exact @huggingface/kernels@0.0.1-preview.2 |
| ``` |
|
|
| Required output shapes and logical data types are inferred from the supplied inputs and attributes; result tensors are allocated automatically. |
|
|
| The `version: 1` option selects the published kernel contract; it is independent of any operator opset, contrib `since_version`, or model version. |
| It follows the `v1` branch as fixes land. To pin exact artifact bytes, pass a 40-character commit `revision` instead of `version`. |
|
|
| Replace each `*Data` placeholder with a typed array containing the corresponding input data. |
|
|
| ```js |
| import { getKernel } from "@huggingface/kernels"; |
| |
| const kernel = await getKernel("webgpu-kernels/com.microsoft.SkipSimplifiedLayerNormalization", { version: 1 }); |
| const { outputT } = await kernel({ |
| inputT: { data: inputTData, shape: [2, 4] }, |
| skipT: { data: skipTData, shape: [2, 4] }, |
| gammaT: { data: gammaTData, shape: [4] }, |
| }); |
| ``` |
