22.1. Release 3.0
The following changes have been made to the TensorFlow API in the Poplar SDK version 3.0. This may require you to change your code.
22.1.1. Breaking changes
Warning
These will require changes to any code that uses them.
Removal of deprecated APIs:
The
available_memory_proportion_fwd
andavailable_memory_proportion_bwd
arguments have been removed from the following layers:ipu_tensorflow_addons.v1.layers.rnn_ops.PopnnLSTM
,ipu_tensorflow_addons.v1.layers.rnn_ops.PopnnDynamicLSTM
,ipu_tensorflow_addons.v1.layers.rnn_ops.PopnnGRU
,ipu_tensorflow_addons.v1.layers.rnn_ops.PopnnDynamicGRU
,ipu_tensorflow_addons.v1.layers.rnn_ops.PopnnAUGRU
.
22.2. Release 2.5
The following changes have been made to the IPU TensorFlow Addons API in the Poplar SDK version 2.5. This may require you to change your code.
22.2.1. Non-breaking changes
RNN available_memory_proportion_fwd/available_memory_proportion_bwd deprecated
The available_memory_proportion_fwd
and available_memory_proportion_bwd
arguments have been deprecated and will be removed from the following layers in a future release:
ipu_tensorflow_addons.v1.layers.rnn_ops.PopnnLSTM
ipu_tensorflow_addons.v1.layers.rnn_ops.PopnnDynamicLSTM
ipu_tensorflow_addons.v1.layers.rnn_ops.PopnnGRU
ipu_tensorflow_addons.v1.layers.rnn_ops.PopnnDynamicGRU
ipu_tensorflow_addons.v1.layers.rnn_ops.PopnnAUGRU
These values are now set using the 'availableMemoryProportion'
key of the options
and options_bwd
arguments correspondingly.
22.3. Release 2.4
First IPU TensorFlow Addons release.
