API Lifecycle

End-to-end flow for using AOCL-DLP APIs effectively.

1) Data Preparation

• Choose memory layout (row/column) and set leading dimensions correctly.
• Consider reordering weights for repeated GEMMs.
• Reorder buffer size (f32): aocl_get_reorder_buf_size_f32f32f32of32
• Reorder (f32): aocl_reorder_f32f32f32of32

2) Post-Operations Setup

• Initialize and populate dlp_metadata_t.
• Struct reference: dlp_metadata_t

3) Compute

• Single GEMM: GEMM API Reference
• Batch GEMM: aocl_batch_gemm_f32f32f32of32
• Eltwise: Eltwise API Reference

4) Threading & Performance

• Set threads: dlp_thread_set_num_threads
• Configure thread ways: Library API Reference

5) Validation

• Use examples and tests to validate outputs on your hardware.
