    """
    Mul Operator.
    This operator is used to perform matrix multiplication for input $x$ and $y$.
    The equation is:

    ..  math::
        Out = x * y

    Both the input $x$ and $y$ can carry the LoD (Level of Details) information, or not. 
    But the output only shares the LoD information with input $x$.

    Args:
        x (Variable): The first input Tensor/LoDTensor of mul_op.
        y (Variable): The second input Tensor/LoDTensor of mul_op.
        x_num_col_dims (int, optional): The mul_op can take tensors with more than two dimensions as its inputs. 
            If the input $x$ is a tensor with more than two dimensions, $x$ will be flattened into a two-dimensional 
            matrix first. The flattening rule is: the first `num_col_dims` will be flattened to form the first 
            dimension of the final matrix (the height of the matrix), and the rest `rank(x) - num_col_dims` 
            dimensions are flattened to form the second dimension of the final matrix (the width of the matrix). 
            As a result, height of the flattened matrix is equal to the product of $x$'s first `x_num_col_dims` dimensions' 
            sizes, and width of the flattened matrix is equal to the product of $x$'s last `rank(x) - num_col_dims` 
            dimensions' size. For example, suppose $x$ is a 6-dimensional tensor with the shape [2, 3, 4, 5, 6], 
            and `x_num_col_dims` = 3. Thus, the flattened matrix will have a shape [2 x 3 x 4, 5 x 6] = [24, 30]. Default is 1. 
        y_num_col_dims (int, optional): The mul_op can take tensors with more than two dimensions as its inputs. If the 
            input $y$ is a tensor with more than two dimensions, $y$ will be flattened into a two-dimensional matrix first. 
            The attribute `y_num_col_dims` determines how $y$ is flattened. See comments of `x_num_col_dims` for more details. 
            Default is 1. 
        out(Variable, optinal): The Variable that stores results of the operation. If out is None, 
            a new Variable will be created to store the results.
        name (str, optional): Name of the output. Normally there is no need for user to set this property. 
            For more information, please refer to :ref:`api_guide_Name`. Default is None. If both of out and name are not None, 
            the output name will be same as out.
