TANH AND SIGMOID FUNCTION EXECUTION
Examples described herein relate to instructions to request performance of tanh and sigmoid instructions. For example, a compiler can generate native tanh instructions to perform tanh. In some examples, a tanh function can be compiled into instructions that include an instruction to perform either tanh(input) or tanh(input)/input depending on a value of the input to generate an intermediate output; an instruction to cause a performance of generation of scale factor based on the input; and an instruction to cause performance of a multiplication operation on the intermediate result with the scale factor. For example, a sigmoid function can be compiled to cause a math pipeline to perform a range check and performs operations based on a range.
