Coding Style

Naming Style

• Class: ClassName
• Class member function: void MemberFunctionName()
• Class member variable: class_member_
• Template argument: TemplateArgument
• Function: void function_name()
• Function arguement: function_argument_name or functionArgumentName
• Local variable: local_variable_name or localVariableName
• Compiler time constant: kConstant ???
• pointer: p_pointer_name or pPointerName

Integer Type

• For index, only opaque type index_t and long_index_t should be used, concrete integer type like int, int32_t, long is not allowed
• If tensor data that is integer type, only concrete type like int32_t, uint32_t, int64_t are allow. Also, use int32_t instead of int, use uint32_t instead of unsigned

Enum

• Use enum class instead of enum

Tensor Descriptor

• A tensor descriptor must clearly indicate:
  • Each dimension of tensor in the correct order
  • The scope of the tensor: grid/block/wave/thread level
  • For example, for grid level input image tensor In[N, C, Hi, Wi] should be declared as const InGridDescriptor_N_C_Hi_Wi in_grid_desc_n_c_hi_wi

Type conversion

• Avoid explicit type conversion in GPU code, use ck::type_convert for casting

header file

• use #pragma once

Misc

• Must add bracket for all if/else, switch/case
• xs means "a container of x object", not "number of x objects"
