2.3 Ascend C核函数设计:einsum的硬件加速实现
摘要
本文深度解析基于Ascend C的einsum算子开发实战,通过爱因斯坦求和(Einstein Summation)这一典型张量计算场景,揭示AsNumpy高性能算子的实现全链路。文章从Einstein记法解析、计算图优化、内存访问模式到Ascend C核函数设计,完整展示如何为NPU定制高性能算子,并对比多种实现策略的性能差异,提供可复用的算子开发框架。关键词:Ascend C算子开发,einsum,爱因斯坦求和,张量计算,NPU加速,算子优化。
1. 引言:einsum为什么是算子开发的"试金石"?
🧠 专家视角:在多年的高性能计算开发生涯中,我测试过数百个算子,einsum(爱因斯坦求和)无疑是最具挑战性也最有代表性的一个。它不仅仅是"张量版的万能计算器",更是检验计算框架设计水平的"试金石"。当看到PPT中AsNumpy在大型张量运算上实现112.11倍性能提升时,我立刻意识到这背后一定有一套精密的einsum实现机制。
为什么einsum如此特殊?

传统CPU实现痛点:
-
解释开销巨大:每次调用都需要解析Einstein记法字符串
-
通用性牺牲性能:为支持所有模式,代码充满分支判断
-
内存访问低效:复杂跨步访问难以利用缓存局部性
AsNumpy的解法:将einsum从"解释执行"变为"编译优化",这正是我们要深入探讨的核心。
2. 技术原理:einsum在NPU上的重新设计
2.1 einsum计算模型解析
爱因斯坦求和记法本质是一种简洁的张量运算描述语言:
C[i,j] = Σ_k A[i,k] * B[k,j] # 矩阵乘法
-> einsum("ik,kj->ij", A, B)
在AsNumpy中,einsum实现遵循三层设计哲学:

6. 总结与展望
6.1 技术总结
通过对AsNumpy einsum算子的深度解析,我们实现了:
-
从解释到编译:将运行时解释转换为编译期优化
-
从通用到专用:针对不同模式设计特化实现
-
从CPU到NPU:充分利用硬件并行计算能力
6.2 未来展望
基于einsum算子的开发经验,我预测:
-
2026年:自动算子生成技术成熟,einsum编译性能提升10倍
-
2027年:跨算子融合优化成为主流,计算图整体优化
-
2028年:AI辅助算子开发,自动发现优化机会
🚀 技术前瞻:einsum的终极形态是声明式张量计算语言,用户只需描述计算意图,系统自动生成最优硬件实现。
