<span id="the-representation-of-computation"></span><h2>The Representation of Computation<a class="headerlink" href="#the-representation-of-computation" title="永久链接至标题"></a></h2>
<p>Both deep learning systems and programming languages help users describe computation procedures.  These systems use various representations of computation:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Caffe, Torch, and Paddle: sequences of layers.</li>
<li>TensorFlow, Caffe2, Mxnet: graphs of operators.</li>
<li>PaddlePaddle: nested blocks, like C++ and Java programs.</li>
</ul>

<span id="block-in-programming-languages-and-deep-learning"></span><h2>Block in Programming Languages and Deep Learning<a class="headerlink" href="#block-in-programming-languages-and-deep-learning" title="永久链接至标题"></a></h2>
<p>In programming languages, a block is a pair of curly braces that includes local variables definitions and a sequence of instructions, or operators.</p>
<p>Blocks work with control flow structures like <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">if</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">else</span></code>, and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">for</span></code>, which have equivalents in deep learning:</p>

| for, while loop       | RNN, WhileOp          |
| if, if-else, switch   | IfElseOp, SwitchOp    |
| sequential execution  | a sequence of layers  |</p>
<p>A key difference is that a C++ program describes a one pass computation, whereas a deep learning program describes both the forward and backward passes.</p>

<p>The existence of the backward makes the execution of a block of traditional programs and PaddlePaddle different to each other:</p>
<p>| programming languages | PaddlePaddle                  |

| push at entering block| push at entering block        |
| pop at leaving block  | destroy at minibatch completes|</p>
<ol class="simple">
<li>In traditional programs:<ul>
<li>When the execution enters the left curly brace of a block, the runtime pushes a frame into the stack, where it realizes local variables.</li>
<li>After the execution leaves the right curly brace, the runtime pops the frame.</li>
<li>The maximum number of frames in the stack is the maximum depth of nested blocks.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>In PaddlePaddle<ul>
<li>When the execution enters a block, PaddlePaddle adds a new scope, where it realizes variables.</li>
<li>PaddlePaddle doesn&#8217;t pop a scope after the execution of the block because variables therein are to be used by the backward pass.  So it has a stack forest known as a <em>scope hierarchy</em>.</li>
<li>The height of the highest tree is the maximum depth of nested blocks.</li>
<li>After the process of a minibatch, PaddlePaddle destroys the scope hierarchy.</li>

<p>Like TensorFlow programs, a PaddlePaddle program is written in Python.  The first part describes a neural network as a protobuf message, and the rest part executes the message for training or inference.</p>
<p>The generation of this protobuf message is like what a compiler generates a binary executable file.  The execution of the message that the OS executes the binary file.</p>

<p>the method <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">pd.get_variable</span></code> can help retrieve a Variable by a name, a Variable may store in a parent block, but might be retrieved in a child block, so block should have a variable scope that supports inheritance.</p>
<p>In compiler design, the symbol table is a data structure created and maintained by compilers to store information about the occurrence of various entities such as variable names, function names, classes, etc.</p>
<p>To store the definition of variables and operators, we define a C++ class <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">SymbolTable</span></code>, like the one used in compilers.</p>
<p><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">SymbolTable</span></code> can do the following stuff:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>store the definitions (some names and attributes) of variables and operators,</li>
<li>to verify if a variable was declared,</li>
<li>to make it possible to implement type checking (offer Protobuf message pointers to <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">InferShape</span></code> handlers).</li>

<p>Block inherits from OperatorBase, which has a Run method.
Block&#8217;s Run method will run its operators sequentially.</p>
<p>There is another important interface called <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Eval</span></code>, which take some arguments called targets, and generate a minimal graph which takes targets as the end points and creates a new Block,
