本文分享自华为云社区《Ascend C 自定义算子 Kernel Launch调用入门》，作者： jackwangcumt。
1 Kernel Launch概述
根据官方说明文档的介绍，Ascend C对外开放核函数的基础调用（Kernel Launch）方式，是为了简化Ascend C 自定义算子的开发流程，提供更易用的调试调优功能。当开发者完成算子核函数的开发和Tiling实现后，即可通过AscendCL运行时接口，完成算子的调用并实现自己的推理应用；同时提供简易的kernel开发工程，开发者仅需提供kernel侧实现，基于工程框架可以快速实现Kernel Launch。本文实验前提是完成了《Ascend C 自定义PRelu算子》博文的相关算子开发工程。网址为：https://bbs.huaweicloud.com/blogs/425244 。请注意：
- 8.0.RC1.alpha002 当前版本，Kernel Launch开放式编程为试用特性，不支持应用于商用产品中。
- 8.0.RC1.alpha002 当前版本暂不支持获取用户workspace特性。
2 Kernel Launch调用方式
ACLRT_LAUNCH_KERNEL调用方式对内核调用符方式进行了功能加强，核函数的调用是异步的，调用接口的使用方法如下：
ACLRT_LAUNCH_KERNEL(kernel_name)(blockDim, stream, argument list);- kernel_name：算子核函数的名称。
- blockDim：规定了核函数将会在几个核上执行。每个执行该核函数的核会被分配一个逻辑ID，即block_idx，可以在核函数的实现中调用GetBlockIdx来获取block_idx。
- stream，类型为aclrtStream，stream用于维护一些异步操作的执行顺序，确保按照应用程序中的代码调用顺序在Device上执行。
- argument list：参数列表，与核函数的参数列表保持一致。
为帮助开发者快速的完成算子的Kernel Launch调试，官方提供了简易的算子工程，我们可以基于该算子工程中的样例代码和工程框架进行算子开发。算子工程支持的如下：
- 该工程支持调试功能，如PRINTF功能、DumpTensor。
- 工程编译生成的应用程序，可通过msprof命令行方式采集和解析性能数据。
可以参考工程样例：https://gitee.com/ascend/samples/blob/master/operator/AddCustomSample/KernelLaunch/AddKernelInvocationTilingNeo ，其目录结构如下所示：
AddKernelInvocationNeo
|-- cmake // CMake编译文件
|-- scripts
| ├── gen_data.py // 输入数据和真值数据生成脚本文件
| ├── verify_result.py // 验证输出数据和真值数据是否一致的验证脚本
|-- CMakeLists.txt // CMake编译配置文件
|-- add_custom.cpp // 矢量算子kernel实现
|-- data_utils.h // 数据读入写出函数
|-- main.cpp // 主函数，调用算子的应用程序，含CPU域及NPU域调用
|-- run.sh // 编译运行算子的脚本基于该算子工程，开发者进行算子开发的步骤如下：
-
完成算子kernel侧实现。
-
编写算子调用应用程序main.cpp。
-
编写CMake编译配置文件CMakeLists.txt。
-
根据实际需要修改输入数据和真值数据生成脚本文件gen_data.py和验证输出数据和真值数据是否一致的验证脚本verify_result.py。
-
根据实际需要修改编译运行算子的脚本run.sh并执行该脚本，完成算子的编译运行和结果验证。
3 Kernel Launch实现
在PReluSample目录下新建一个目录KernelLaunch，用于存放Kernel Launch调用方式的工程代码，我这里参考官方的https://gitee.com/ascend/samples/tree/master/operator/LeakyReluCustomSample/KernelLaunch/
LeakyReluKernelInvocation样例工程，并修改了相关参数，p_relu_custom.cpp 代码如下所示：
#include "kernel_operator.h"
using namespace AscendC;

ASSERT(GetBlockNum() != 0 && "block dim can not be zero!");
this->blockLength = totalLength / GetBlockNum();
this->tileNum = tileNum;
this->alpha = static_cast<float>(alpha);

this->tileLength = this->blockLength / tileNum / BUFFER_NUM;

pipe.InitBuffer(outQueueY, BUFFER_NUM, this->tileLength * sizeof(float));

//pipe.InitBuffer(tmpBuffer2, this->tileLength * sizeof(float));
}
__aicore__ inline void Process()
{
// loop count need to be doubled, due to double buffer
int32_t loopCount = this->tileNum * BUFFER_NUM;
// tiling strategy, pipeline parallel
for (int32_t i = 0; i < loopCount; i++) {
CopyIn(i);
Compute(i);
CopyOut(i);
}
}

Muls(xLocal, xLocal, this->alpha, this->tileLength);
Add(yLocal, xLocal, tmpTensor1, this->tileLength);
outQueueY.EnQue<float>(yLocal);
// free input tensors for reuse
inQueueX.FreeTensor(xLocal);
}
__aicore__ inline void CopyOut(int32_t progress)
{
// deque output tensor from VECOUT queue
LocalTensor<float> yLocal = outQueueY.DeQue<float>();
// copy progress_th tile from local tensor to global tensor
DataCopy(yGm[progress * this->tileLength], yLocal, this->tileLength);
