`MulKernel` inherits `framework::OpKernel`, which includes the following templates:
- `typename Place` denotes device type. When different devices, namely the CPU and the GPU, share the same kernel, this template needs to be added. If they don't share kernels, this must not be added. An example of a non-sharing kernel is [`OnehotCrossEntropyOpKernel`](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/paddle/operators/cross_entropy_op.h#L43).

为了使`OpKernel`的计算过程书写更加简单,并且CPU、GPU的代码可以复用,我们通常借助 Eigen unsupported Tensor模块来实现`Compute`接口。关于在PaddlePaddle中如何使用Eigen库,请参考[使用文档](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/doc/howto/dev/use_eigen_cn.md)。
