<p>Currently, for each C++ operator class definition, there registers a <em>gradient operator creator</em> function, which takes a C++ operator instance and returns the corresponding gradient operator instance.</p>
<p>However, we noticed two problems with the current deisgn:</p>
<ol class="simple">
<li>As we decided to separate the <em>compilation</em> and <em>execution</em> phases, we need to change the creator to take an <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">OpDesc</span></code> protobuf message in a <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">ProgramDesc</span></code> and inserts corresponding <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">OpDesc</span></code> messages into the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">ProgramDesc</span></code> message.</li>
<li>Some operator&#8217;s gradient computation requires more than one gradient operators.  For example, the gradient of <em>minus</em> consists of two operators &#8211; an identity operaotr and a scale operator.  So we need to make the registration mechanism to support the mapping from an operator to a set of operators for gradient computation.</li>

<p>The mapping relationship between an operator and its gradient operators is a function. The interface of that function is:</p>

<p>The function takes an <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">OpDescBind</span></code> of the forward operator and returns one or many gradient operator descriptions. <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">OpDescBind</span></code> is a C++ wrapper for protobuf message <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">OpDesc</span></code> to manipulate <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">OpDesc</span></code> fast.</p>

<p>The <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">GradOpDescMaker</span></code> will be registered in <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">OpInfo</span></code>, to replace <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">grad_op_type_</span></code> field.

<p>We propose a base class called <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">GradOpDescMakerBase</span></code> to let operator developers generate <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Gradient</span> <span class="pre">Operators</span></code> easily. The public interface of that class is</p>

<p>We can write many helper functions since the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">GradOpDescMakerBase</span></code> is a class now. The basic helper functions get the variables of <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Input</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Output</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">InputGradient</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">OutputGradient</span></code> in the forwarding operator.</p>

<p>We should chagne register macros at the same time. In the current solution, there is no difference between forwarding operators and backward operators. So <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">REGISTER_OP</span></code> just register one operator. If the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">REGISTER_OPERATOR</span></code> contains <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">OpProtoAndCheckerMaker</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">GradOpDescMaker</span></code>, we just list them in the same macro. It can be done by a macro contains <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">__VA_ARGS__</span></code>.</p>
<p>The user interface should be</p>

<p>The interface of current <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">REGISTER_OP</span></code> macro could not be changed. In <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">REGISTER_OP</span></code>, it will invoke <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">REGISTER_OPERATOR</span></code> two times and generate GradOpDescMaker inside.</p>
