Class SliceOp

Namespace
AiDotNet.JitCompiler.IR.Operations
Assembly
AiDotNet.dll

Represents slice operation in the IR.

public class SliceOp : IROp
Inheritance
SliceOp
Inherited Members

Remarks

Extracts a contiguous slice from a tensor along specified axes.

Properties

Axes

Axes to slice on.

public int[] Axes { get; set; }

Property Value

int[]

Ends

End indices for each axis (exclusive).

public int[] Ends { get; set; }

Property Value

int[]

Starts

Start indices for each axis.

public int[] Starts { get; set; }

Property Value

int[]

Steps

Step size for each axis.

public int[] Steps { get; set; }

Property Value

int[]

Methods

ToString()

Gets a string representation of this operation for debugging.

public override string ToString()

Returns

string

A string describing this operation.

Remarks

The string format is: "tOutput = OpType(tInput1, tInput2, ...) : Type [Shape]"

For Beginners: This creates a readable description of the operation.

Example outputs:

  • "t2 = Add(t0, t1) : Float32 [3, 4]"
  • "t5 = MatMul(t3, t4) : Float32 [128, 256]"
  • "t8 = ReLU(t7) : Float32 [32, 128]"

This is super helpful for debugging - you can see exactly what each operation does and what shape tensors flow through the graph.

Validate()

Validates that this operation is correctly formed.

public override bool Validate()

Returns

bool

True if valid, false otherwise.

Remarks

Basic validation checks that the operation has required information. Derived classes can override to add operation-specific validation.

For Beginners: This checks that the operation makes sense.

Basic checks:

  • Output ID is valid (non-negative)
  • Has the right number of inputs
  • Shapes are compatible

Specific operations add their own checks:

  • MatMul: inner dimensions must match
  • Conv2D: kernel size must be valid
  • Reshape: total elements must be preserved

If validation fails, the operation can't be compiled.
