IfOp should have only one branch. An IfOp operator takes a `cond` variable whose value must be a vector of N boolean elements. Its return value has N instances. If cond[i] == True, input instance input[i] will go through true_block() and generate output[i]; otherwise it will produce output from false_bloack().
# The `IfElse` Operator
```python
import paddle as pd
PaddlePaddle's `IfElse` operator differs from TensorFlow's:
x = var()
y = var()
cond = var()
default_value = var()
b = pd.create_ifelseop(inputs=[x], output_num=1)
with b.true_block():
x = b.inputs(0)
z = operator.add(x, y)
b.set_output(0, operator.softmax(z))
with b.false_block():
x = b.inputs(0)
z = layer.fc(x)
b.set_output(0, operator.softmax(z))
out = b(cond)
```
- the TensorFlow version takes a scalar boolean value as the condition so that the whole mini-batch goes to either the true or the false branch, whereas
- the PaddlePaddle version takes a vector of boolean value as the condition, and instances corresponding to true values go to the true branch, those corresponding to false values go to the false branch.
## Example
The following PaddlePaddle program shows the usage of the IfElse operator:
If only true_block is set in an IfElseOp, a special case is that we can have a default value for false as:
```python
import paddle as pd
x = var()
y = var()
cond = var()
default_value = var()
b = pd.create_ifelseop(inputs=[x], output_num=1, default_value)
with b.true_block():
x = b.inputs(0)
z = operator.add(x, y)
b.set_output(0, operator.softmax(z))
x = minibatch([10, 20, 30]) # shape=[None, 1]
y = var(1) # shape=[1], value=1
z = minibatch([10, 20, 30]) # shape=[None, 1]
cond = larger_than(x, 15) # [false, true, true]
ie = pd.ifelse()
with ie.true_block():
d = pd.layer.add(x, y)
ie.output(d, pd.layer.softmax(d))
with ie.false_block():
d = pd.layer.fc(z)
ie.output(d, d+1)
o1, o2 = ie(cond)
```
out = b(cond)
A challenge to implement the `IfElse` operator is to infer those variables to be split, or, say, to identify the variable of the mini-batch or those derived from the mini-batch.
An equivalent C++ program is as follows:
```c++
namespace pd = paddle;
int x = 10;
int y = 1;
int z = 10;
bool cond = false;
int o1, o2;
if (cond) {
int d = x + y;
o1 = z;
o2 = pd::layer::softmax(z);
} else {
int d = pd::layer::fc(z);
o1 = d;
o2 = d+1;
}
```
where default_value is a list of vars for `cond` == False.

## Optimizer Design
### The Problem
A PaddlePaddle program, or a block, is a sequence of operators operating variables. A training program needs to do three kinds of works:
1. the forward pass, which computes intermediate results and the cost(s),
1. the backward pass, which derives gradients from intermediate results and costs, and
1. the optimization pass, which update model parameters to optimize the cost(s).
These works rely on three kinds of operators:
1. forward operators,
1. gradient operators, and
1. optimization operators.
It's true that users should be able to create all these operators manually by calling some low-level API, but it would be much more convenient if they could only describe the forward pass and let PaddlePaddle create the backward and optimization operators automatically.
In this design, we propose a high-level API that automatically derives the optimisation pass and operators from the forward pass.
### High-level Python API to describe the training process
1. User write code to describe the network:
```python
images = layer.data("images")
labels = layer.data("labels")
w1 = pd.var("w1")
b1 = pd.var("b1")
hidden = layer.fc(images, w=w1, b=b1)
cost = layer.mse(hidden, labels)
```
The above code snippet will create forward operators in [Block](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/doc/design/block.md).
2. Users create a certain kind of Optimizer with some argument.
```python
optimizer = AdagradOptimizer(learing_rate=0.001)
```
3. Users use the optimizer to `minimize` a certain `cost` through updating parameters in parameter_list.
```python
opt_op_list = optimizer.minimize(cost, parameter_list=[w1, b1])
```
The above code snippet will create gradient and optimization operators in Block. The return value of `minimize()` is list of optimization operators that will be run by session.
4. Users use Session/Executor to run this opt_op_list as target to do training.
```python
sess.run(target= opt_op_list, ...)
```
#### Optimizer Python interface:
```python
class Optimizer(object):
"""Optimizer Base class.
"""
def __init__(self):
pass
def create_backward_pass(self, loss, parameter_list=None):
"""
create and add gradient Operators in BlockDesc to Compute gradients of `loss`
for parameters in parameter_list
Args:
loss: an variable generated by cost function.
parameter_list: parameters that need to compute gradient and update to optimize the lost.
Returns:
list of (parameters, gradients) pair.
"""
return None
def create_optimization_pass(self, parameters_and_grads):
"""Add optimization operators to update gradients to variables.
Args:
parameters_and_grads: a list of (variable, gradient) pair to update.
Returns:
optmization_op_list: a list of optimization operator that will update parameter using gradient.
"""
return None
def minimize(self, loss, parameter_list):
"""Add operations to minimize `loss` by updating `parameter_list`.
This method combines interface `create_backward_pass()` and
`create_optimization_pass()` into one.
"""
params_grads = self.create_backward_pass(loss, parameter_list)
update_ops = self.create_optimization_pass(params_grads)
return update_ops
```
Users can inherit the Optimizer above to create their own Optimizer with some special logic, such as AdagradOptimizer.

The basic structure of a PaddlePaddle program is some nested blocks, as a C++ or Java program.
## Compile and Execution
A PaddlePaddle program consists of two parts -- the first generates a `ProgramDesc` protobuf message that describes the program, and the second runs this message using a C++ class `Executor`.
As described in [graph.md](./graph.md), the first five lines of the following PaddlePaddle program

The first five lines of the following PaddlePaddle program generates, or, compiles, the `ProgramDesc` message. The last line runs it.
```protobuf
message ProgramDesc {
repeated BlockDesc blocks = 1;
## Programs and Blocks
The basic structure of a PaddlePaddle program is some nested blocks, as a C++ or Java program.
- program: some nested blocks
- [block](./block.md):
- some local variable definitions, and
- a sequence of operators
The concept of block comes from usual programs. For example, the following C++ program has three blocks:
```c++
int main() { // block 0
int i = 0;
if (i < 10) { // block 1
for (int j = 0; j < 10; j++) { // block 2
}
}
return 0;
}
```
The following PaddlePaddle program has three blocks:
```python
import paddle as pd // block 0
x = minibatch([10, 20, 30]) # shape=[None, 1]
y = var(1) # shape=[1], value=1
z = minibatch([10, 20, 30]) # shape=[None, 1]
cond = larger_than(x, 15) # [false, true, true]
ie = pd.ifelse()
with ie.true_block(): // block 1
d = pd.layer.add_scalar(x, y)
ie.output(d, pd.layer.softmax(d))
with ie.false_block(): // block 2
d = pd.layer.fc(z)
ie.output(d, d+1)
o1, o2 = ie(cond)
```
## `BlockDesc` and `ProgramDesc`
All protobuf messages are defined in `framework.proto`.
`BlockDesc` is straight-forward -- it includes local variable definitions, `vars`, and a sequence of operators, `ops`.
```protobuf
message BlockDesc {
required int32 parent = 1;
repeated VarDesc vars = 2;
repeated OpDesc ops = 3;
}
```
The parent ID indicates the parent block so that operators in a block can refer to variables defined locally and also those defined in their ancestor blocks.
All hierarchical blocks in a program are flattened and stored in an array. The block ID is the index of the block in this array.
```protobuf
message ProgramDesc {
repeated BlockDesc blocks = 1;
}
```
### Global Block
The global block is the first one in the above array.
## Operators that Use Blocks
In the above example, the operator `IfElseOp` has two blocks -- the true branch and the false branch.
The definition of `OpDesc` shows that an operator could have some attributes:
```protobuf
message OpDesc {
AttrDesc attrs = 1;
...
}
```
and an attribute could be of type block, which is, in fact, a block ID as described above:
```
message AttrDesc {
required AttrType type = 1;
required string name = 1;
// index into ProgramDesc::blocks when type==BLOCK
optional int32 block = 2;
enum AttrType {
INT = 1,
STRING = 2,
...
BLOCK = ...
}
required AttrType type = 2;
optional int32 block = 10; // when type == BLOCK
...
}
```
When each of the first five lines runs, related Python function, e.g., `layer.fc`, calls C++ InferShape functions. This InferShape function needs to access the properties of VarDesc's accessed by the current OpDesc. These VarDesc's might not be defined in the current block, but in some ancestor blocks. This requires that we can trace the parent of a block.
A nested block is often an attribute of an operator, most likely, an IfElseOp or a WhileOp. In above solution, all blocks are in `ProgramDesc::blocks`, this implicitly assigns a zero-based ID to each block -- the index of the block in `ProgramDesc::blocks`. So that `AttrDesc::block` could be an integer block ID.
## InferShape
With this design, the InferShape function should take the following parameters:

# Design Doc: Python API
Due to the refactorization of the PaddlePaddle core, we need Python classes to construct corresponding protobuf messages that describe a DL program.
| Python classes | Protobuf messages |
| --- | --- |
| Program | ProgramDesc |
| Block | BlockDesc |
| Operator | OpDesc |
| Variable | VarDesc |
Please be aware that these Python classes need to maintain some construction-time information, which are not part of the protobuf messages.
## Core Concepts
### Program
A `ProgramDesc` describes a [DL program](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/doc/design/program.md), which is composed of an array of `BlockDesc`s. The `BlockDesc`s in a `ProgramDesc` can have a tree-like hierarchical structure. However, the `ProgramDesc` onlys stores a flattened array of `BlockDesc`s. A `BlockDesc` refers to its parent block by its index in the array. For example, operators in the step block of an RNN operator need to be able to access variables in its ancestor blocks.
Whenever we create a block, we need to set its parent block to the current block, hence the Python class `Program` needs to maintain a data member `current_block`.
```python
class Program(objects):
def __init__(self):
self.desc = core.NewProgram() # a C++ ProgramDesc pointer.
self.blocks = vector<Block>()
self.blocks.append(Block(self, -1)) # the global block
self.current_block = 0 # initialized to the global block
def global_block():
return self.blocks[0]
def current_block():
return self.get_block(self.current_block)
def rollback():
self.current_block = self.current_block().parent_idx
def create_block():
new_block_idx = len(self.block)
self.blocks.append(Block(self, self.current_block))
self.current_block = new_block_idx
return current_block()
```
`Program` is an accessor to the protobuf message `ProgramDesc`, which is created in C++ space, because the InferShape function is in C++, which manipulates `VarDesc` messages, which are in turn members of `BlockDesc`, which is a member of `ProgramDesc`.
`Program` creates the first block as the global block in its constructor. All parameters and their initializer operators are in the global block.
### Block
A [Block](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/doc/design/block.md) includes
1. a map from variable names to an instance of the Python `Variable` class, and
1. a list of `Operator` instances.
```python
class Block(objects):
def __init__(self, program, parent_idx):
self.desc = core.NewBlock(program.desc)
self.program = program
self.vars = map<string, Variable>()
self.ops = vector<Operator>()
self.parent_idx = parent_idx
def create_var(self, ...):
return Variable(self, ...)
def _create_global_var(self, ...):
program.global_block().create_var(...)
def create_parameter(self, name, ...):
# Parameter is a subclass of variable. See Parameter section for details.
self.vars[name] = Parameter(self._create_global_var(...), ...)
return self.vars[name]
def append_operator(self, ...):
self.ops.append(Operator(self, ...))
def prepend_operator(self, ...): # Parameter's ctor prepands initialize operators.
self.ops.prepend(Operator(self, ...))
```
`create_parameter` is necessary because parameters are global variables, defined in the global block, but can be created in some sub-blocks. For example, an FC layer in the step block of an RNN operator.
`prepend_operator` is necessary because the constructor of `Parameter` needs to create the initialize (or load) operator of the parameter, and would like to put it in the *preamble* of the global block.
### Operator
The `Operator` class fills in the `OpDesc` message and calls the C++ function `InferShape` to infer the output shapes from the input shapes.
```python
class Operator(object):
def __init__(self,
block, # Block
type, # string
inputs, # dict<string, Variable>
outputs,# dict<stirng, Variable>
attrs # dict<string, Any>
):
self.desc = core.NewOpDesc(block.desc, type, inputs, outputs, attrs)
core.infer_shape(self.desc, inputs, outputs)
def type(self):
return self.desc.type()
```
`Operator` creates the `OpDesc` message in C++ space, so that it can call the `InferShape` function, which is in C++.
### Variable
Operators take Variables as its inputs and outputs.
```python
class Variable(object):
def __init__(self,
block=None, # Block
name=None, # string
shape, # tuple
dtype="float32", # string
lod_level=None # int
):
if name is None:
name = unique_name_generator()
self.name = name
self.block = block
self.desc = core.NewVarDesc(block.desc, name, shape, lod_level)
self.writer = None
```
Please be aware of `self.writer`, that tracks operator who creates the variable. It possible that there are more than one operators who write a variable, but in Python space, each write to a variable is represented by a Variable class. This is guaranteed by the fact that **`core.NewVarDesc` must NOT create a new `VarDesc` message if its name already exists in the specified block**.
### Parameter
A parameter is a global variable with an initializer (or load) operator.
```python
class Parameter(Variable):
def __init__(self,
block=None, # Block
name=None, # string
shape, # tuple
dtype="float32", # string
lod_level=None # int
trainable, # bool
initialize_op_attrs,
optimize_op_attrs):
super(Parameter, self).__init__(block, name, shape, dtype, lod_level)
self.trainable = trainable
self.optimize_op_attrs = optimize_op_attrs
block.prepend(Operator(block, # Block
initialize_op_attrs['type'], # string
None, # no inputs
self, # output is the parameter
initialize_op_attrs)
```
When users create a parameter, they can call
```python
program.create_parameter(
...,
init_attr={
type: "uniform_random",
min: -1.0,
max: 1.0,
})
)
```
In above example, `init_attr.type` names an initialize operator. It can also name the load operator
```python
init_attr={
type: "load",
filename: "something.numpy",
}
```
`optimize_op_attrs` is not in the `VarDesc` message, but kept in the Python instance, as it will be used in the Python space when creating the optimize operator's `OpDesc`, and will be in the `OpDesc` message.
## Layer Functions
A layer is a Python function that creates some operators and variables. Layers simplify the work of application programmers.
### Data Layer
```python
def data_layer(name, type, column_name):
block = the_current_program.glolal_block()
var = block.create_global_var(
name=name,
shape=[None] + type.dims(),
dtype=type.dtype)
block.prepend_operator(block,
type="Feed",
inputs = None,
outputs = [var],
{column_name: column_name})
return var
```
The input to the feed operator is a special variable in the global scope, which is the output of [Python readers](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/doc/design/reader/README.md).
### FC Layer
```python
def fc_layer(input, size, ...):
block = program.current_block()
w = block.create_parameter(...)
b = block.create_parameter(...)
out = block.create_var()
op = block.append_operator("FC", X=input, W=w, b=b, out=out)
out.writer = op
return out
```

# Design Doc: Session
## Abstract
The *session* object encapsulates the environment in which the
computation graph is executed.
We will have the *local* session and *remote* session, they offer the
same [interface](#interface). The local session encapsulates the local
runtime environment and the remote session encapsulates the cluster
runtime environment.
The local runtime environment contains:
1. computation devices (i.e., CPU, GPU) handles, and
1. the [scope](../scope.md) which holds all variables.
The remote runtime environment contains:
1. computation devices (i.e., CPU and GPU on node 0, 1) in a cluster,
and
1. the distributed [scope](../scope.md) in a cluster which holds all
variables.
The user can create a remote session on Paddle Cloud and evaluate the
computation graph with it. In this way, the user can control the
remote computation resource in a cluster from his local computer.
## Background
The current design has an implicit global session in which
`paddle.eval()` is executed. The pain point is:
Since the user is not able to explicitly switch between runtime
environments, the user cannot run a topology in two independent
environments.
For example, in reinforcement learning, the user may want to have a
stale model for inference and a fresh model for training, and only
replace the stale model with the fresh model periodically.
Furthermore, we have no concept that encapsulates a remote environment
that executes a computation graph.
We need the session object to address above issues.
## Session
A session is an object that owns the runtime environment. All
computations are executed through `session.eval()`.
### Interface
```python
eval(
targets,
feed_dict=None,
)
```
Evaluates the target Operations or Variables in `targets`.
- *targets*: the evaluation targets. Can be a single Operation or
Variable, or a list with the Operations or Variables as
elements. The value returned by `eval()` has the same shape as the
`target` argument.
The PaddlePaddle program is represented by
the [ProgramDesc](../design/program.md), `eval()` will infer the
ProgramDesc from the given targets and run the PaddlePaddle
program. Please
see
[this graph](./distributed_architecture.md#local-training-architecture) for
the detailed illustration for the local session
and
[this graph](./distributed_architecture.md#distributed-training-architecture) for
the detailed illustration for the remote session.
- *feed_dict*: a dictionary that contains the tensors which override
the edges of the computation graph.
feed_dict not only can provide the input data, it can override any
OP's input as well:
```python
a = pd.constant(2.0, name="a")
b = pd.variable(name="b")
c = pd.mul(a,b)
sess.eval(targets=c, feed_dict={"b":3.0}) # returns 6.0
```
```python
close()
```
Closes the session and releases the scope that the session owns.
### Create a Local Session
```python
session(
devices=None
)
```
Creates a new session. One session owns one global scope, so creating
multiple sessions will create different scopes.
- *devices*: a single `string` or a list of `string` of device names,
the corresponding devices will be the computation devices for
`eval()`. If not specified, all available devices (e.g., all GPUs)
will be used. The user doesn't need to specify the CPU device since
it will be always used. Multiple sessions can use the same device.
#### Example
```Python
a = paddle.constant(1.0)
b = paddle.constant(2.0)
c = a + b
sess = paddle.session(devices=["gpu:0", "gpu:1", "fpga:0"])
sess.eval(c)
sess.close()
```
### Create a Remote Session
```python
create_cloud_job(
name,
num_trainer,
mem_per_trainer,
gpu_per_trainer,
cpu_per_trainer,
num_ps,
mem_per_ps,
cpu_per_ps,
)
```
Creates a Paddle Cloud job. Fails if the job name exists.
```python
get_cloud_job(
name
)
```
Gets a Paddle Cloud job.
```python
remote_session(
job
)
```
- *job*: the Paddle Cloud job.
#### Example
```Python
reader = paddle.reader.recordio("/pfs/home/peter/mnist-train-*") # data stored on Paddle Cloud
image = reader.column(0)
label = reader.column(1)
fc1 = paddle.op.fc(image, size=256, act="sigmoid")
fc2 = paddle.op.fc(fc1, size=10, act="softmax")
cost = paddle.op.cross_entropy(fc2, label)
opt = paddle.optimizer.sgd(cost)
job = paddle.create_cloud_job("test", 3, "1G", 1, 1, 2, "1G", 1)
sess = paddle.remote_ession(job)
for i in range(1000):
sess.eval(opt)
sess.close()

# Design Doc: Gradient Operators Registration
## The Problem Posed
In our current operator registration mechanism, for each operator, the programmer should register a *gradient operator creator* function, which takes a C++ operator instance, and returns the corresponding gradient instance.
However, as we decided to separate the *compilation* and *execution* of DL models, we need to reshape the creator to take a protobuf `OpDesc` message, and returns a corresponding message.
More than that, the new registration mechanism need to support the fact that an operators' gradient computation might be a composition of operators.
## Current Implementation
OpInfos store in a association map which key is the operator type. The `grad_op_type` indicate associated gradient operator type. Operator can create gradient operator by `OpInfo::creator_` of gradient. The pseudo code is
```cpp
struct OpInfo {
std::function<OperatorBase*(...)> creator_;
std::string grad_op_type_;
...
};
map<string, OpInfo> OpInfoMap;
OperatorBase* CreateGradientOperator(const OperatorBase& op) {
return OpInfoMap.at(op.Type()).creator_(...);
}
```
## Proposed Solution
The mapping relationship between an operator and its gradient operators is a function. The interface of that function is:
```cpp
// (OpDesc) --> vector<OpDesc>
std::function<std::vector<OpDescBind>(const OpDescBind&)>;
```
The function takes an `OpDescBind` of the forward operator and returns one or many gradient operator descriptions. `OpDescBind` is a C++ wrapper for protobuf message `OpDesc` to manipulate `OpDesc` fast.
The `GradOpDescMaker` will be registered in `OpInfo`, to replace `grad_op_type_` field. The `OpInfo` should be
```cpp
struct OpInfo {
std::function<std::vector<std::unique_ptr<OpDescBind>>(const OpDescBind&)> grad_op_maker_;
...
};
```
The `grad_op_maker_ ` is `nullptr` if the operator does not have associated gradient operators.
We propose a base class called `GradOpDescMakerBase` to let operator developers generate `Gradient Operators` easily. The public interface of that class is
```cpp
class GradOpDescMakerBase {
public:
GradOpDescMakerBase(const OpDescBind& );
virtual std::vector<std::unique_ptr<OpDescBind>> operator()()const = 0;
};
```
We can convert `GradOpDescMakerBase` to `std::function<std::vector<std::unique_ptr<OpDescBind>>(const OpDescBind&)>` by
```cpp
using GradOpMaker = ...;
std::function<std::vector<OpDescBind>(const OpDescBind&)> func;
func = [] (const OpDescBind& fwd_op) {
GradOpMaker maker(fwd_op);
return maker();
};
```
We can write many helper functions since the `GradOpDescMakerBase` is a class now. The basic helper functions get the variables of `Input`, `Output`, `InputGradient` and `OutputGradient` in the forwarding operator.
We should chagne register macros at the same time. In the current solution, there is no difference between forwarding operators and backward operators. So `REGISTER_OP` just register one operator. If the `REGISTER_OPERATOR ` contains `OpProtoAndCheckerMaker` and `GradOpDescMaker`, we just list them in the same macro. It can be done by a macro contains `__VA_ARGS__`.
The user interface should be
```cpp
vector<OpDesc> MinusOpGradMaker(OpDesc) {...}
REGISTER_OPERATOR(minus, MinusOp, MinusOpProtoAndCheckerMaker, SumOpGradMaker);
// Developers can still manually implement gradient operator.
REGISTER_OPERATOR(minus_grad, MinusGradOp);
```
The interface of current `REGISTER_OP` macro could not be changed. In `REGISTER_OP`, it will invoke `REGISTER_OPERATOR` two times and generate GradOpDescMaker inside.
```cpp
REGISTER_OP(minus, MinusOp, MinusOpProtoAndCheckerMaker, minus_grad, MinusGradOp);
```

# Design Doc: Selected Rows
`SelectedRows` is a kind of sparse tensor data type, which is designed to support `embedding` operators. The gradient of embedding table is a sparse tensor. Only a few rows are non-zero values in that tensor. It is straightforward to represent the sparse tensor by the following sparse tensor data structure:
```cpp
class SelectedRows {
private:
vector<int> rows_;
Tensor value_;
int height_;
};
```
The field `height_` shows the first dimension of `SelectedRows`. The `rows` are the indices of which rows of `SelectedRows` are non-zeros. The `value_` field is an N-dim tensor and shape is `[rows.size() /* NUM_ROWS */, ...]`, which supplies values for each row. The dimension of `SelectedRows` satisfies `[height_] + value_.shape[1:]`.
Suppose that a SelectedRows-typed variable `x` has many rows, but only two of them have values -- row 73 is `[1, 2]` and row 84 is `[3, 4]`, the `SelectedRows` representation would be:
```
x = SelectedRow {
rows = [73, 84],
value = [[1, 2], [3,4]]
}
```
## SelectedRows in Protobuf
`SelectedRows` is a kind of `Variable`. `VarDesc` in protobuf should describe the `SelectedRows` information. Only the tensor dimension of a `SelectedRows` will be described in compile-time since the `rows_` and `value_` are related to training data.
So we use `TensorDesc` to unify `data_type` and `dims`. A LodTensorDesc contains a `TensorDesc` and `lod_level`. The description of `SelectedRows` is a Tensor description.
```proto
message TensorDesc {
required DataType data_type = 1;
repeated int64 dims = 2; // [UNK, 640, 480] is saved as [-1, 640, 480]
}
message LodTensorDesc {
required TensorDesc tensor = 1;
optional int lod_level = 2;
}
message VarDesc {
required string name = 1;
enum VarType {
LOD_TENSOR = 0;
SELECTED_ROWS = 1;
}
required VarType type = 2;
optional LodTensorDesc lod_desc = 3;
optional TensorDesc selected_rows_desc = 4;
optional bool persistable = 5 [ default = false ];
}
```
## InferShape for Selected Rows
Just like `LoD` information, `InferShape` method will inference output tensor type as well. The operator should decide whether its output is a `SelectedRows` or `Dense` tensor.
For example, the gradient operator of `TableLookup` will always generate `SelectedRows`. Its `InferShape` method should be like following
```cpp
void TableLookupGrad::InferShape(context) {
...
context.SetDataType("Embedding.Grad", kSelectedRows);
}
```
## Sparse Operators
There are several operators should be written to support `SelectedRows`. They are:
1. Operators which generates `SelectedRows` gradient. e.g. Gradient of `TableLookupOp`.
2. Optimize operators which support `SelectedRows` gradient. e.g. `SGD` or `AdaGrad` for `SelectedRows`. However, there should be only one `SGD` operator. `OpWithKernel::Run` should select a suitable kernel for both `dense` tensor or `SelectedRows`.

- `create_op("mul")` creates the backward operator's corresponding forward operator.
- `compare_grad` compares results between utilizing the CPU and the GPU.
- `test_normal` calls `check_grad` to validate scaling tests' correctness and stability through numeric methods.
- The first variable `self.op` denotes the forward operator.
- The second variable `self.inputs` denotes the input dictionary, which has its key value identical to its `ProtoMaker` definitions.
- The third variable `["X", "Y"]` appoints `X` and `Y` to be scale tested.
- The fourth variable `"Out"` points to the network's final output target `Out`.
- `test_ignore_x` and `test_ignore_y`branches test the cases where there is only one scaling input.
- The first variable `["X", "Y"]` appoints `X` and `Y` to be scale tested.
- The second variable `"Out"` points to the network's final output target `Out`.
- The third variable `max_relative_error` points to the maximum relative tolerance error during scaling tests.
- `test_check_grad_ingore_x` and `test_check_grad_ingore_y`branches test the cases where there is only one scaling input.
