+# Supports options:
+# IOS_PLATFORM = OS (default) or SIMULATOR
+#   This decides if SDKS will be selected from the iPhoneOS.platform or iPhoneSimulator.platform folders
+#   OS - the default, used to build for iPhone and iPad physical devices, which have an arm arch.
+#   SIMULATOR - used to build for the Simulator platforms, which have an x86 arch.
+# IOS_ARCH
+#   The archectures wanted to support, such "arm64", "armv7;arm64"
+# IOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET
+#   The minimum iOS deployment version, such as "7.0"
+# IOS_ENABLE_BITCODE = ON (default) or OFF
+# IOS_USE_VECLIB_FOR_BLAS = OFF (default) or ON
+# IOS_DEVELOPER_ROOT = automatic(default) or /path/to/platform/Developer folder
+#   By default this location is automatcially chosen based on the IOS_PLATFORM value above.
+#   If set manually, it will override the default location and force the user of a particular Developer Platform
+# IOS_SDK_ROOT = automatic(default) or /path/to/platform/Developer/SDKs/SDK folder
+#   By default this location is automatcially chosen based on the IOS_DEVELOPER_ROOT value.
+#   In this case it will always be the most up-to-date SDK found in the IOS_DEVELOPER_ROOT path.
+#   If set manually, this will force the use of a specific SDK version

+# Design Doc: Block and Scope
+
+## The Representation of Computation
+
+Both deep learning systems and programming languages help users describe computation procedures.  These systems use various representations of computation:
+
+- Caffe, Torch, and Paddle: sequences of layers.
+- TensorFlow, Caffe2, Mxnet: graphs of operators.
+- PaddlePaddle: nested blocks, like C++ and Java programs.
+
+## Block in Programming Languages and Deep Learning
+
+In programming languages, a block is a pair of curly braces that includes local variables definitions and a sequence of instructions, or operators.
+
+Blocks work with control flow structures like `if`, `else`, and `for`, which have equivalents in deep learning:
+
+| programming languages | PaddlePaddle          |
+|-----------------------|-----------------------|
+| for, while loop       | RNN, WhileOp          |
+| if, if-else, switch   | IfElseOp, SwitchOp    |
+| sequential execution  | a sequence of layers  |
+
+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.
+
+## Stack Frames and the Scope Hierarchy
+
+The existence of the backward makes the execution of a block of traditional programs and PaddlePaddle different to each other:
+
+| programming languages | PaddlePaddle                  |
+|-----------------------|-------------------------------|
+| stack                 | scope hierarchy               |
+| stack frame           | scope                         |
+| push at entering block| push at entering block        |
+| pop at leaving block  | destroy at minibatch completes|
+
+1. In traditional programs:
+
+   - When the execution enters the left curly brace of a block, the runtime pushes a frame into the stack, where it realizes local variables.
+   - After the execution leaves the right curly brace, the runtime pops the frame.
+   - The maximum number of frames in the stack is the maximum depth of nested blocks.
+
+1. In PaddlePaddle
+
+   - When the execution enters a block, PaddlePaddle adds a new scope, where it realizes variables.
+   - PaddlePaddle doesn'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 *scope hierarchy*.
+   - The height of the highest tree is the maximum depth of nested blocks.
+   - After the process of a minibatch, PaddlePaddle destroys the scope hierarchy.
+
+## Use Blocks in C++ and PaddlePaddle Programs
+
+Let us consolidate the discussion by presenting some examples.
+
+### Blocks with `if-else` and `IfElseOp`
+
+The following C++ programs shows how blocks are used with the `if-else` structure:
+
+```c++
+int x = 10;
+int y = 20;
+int out;
+bool cond = false;
+if (cond) {
+  int z = x + y;
+  out = softmax(z);
+} else {
+  int z = fc(x);
+  out = z;
+}
+```
+
+An equivalent PaddlePaddle program from the design doc of the [IfElseOp operator](./if_else_op.md) is as follows:
+
+```python
+import paddle as pd
+
+x = var(10)
+y = var(20)
+cond = var(false)
+ie = pd.create_ifelseop(inputs=[x], output_num=1)
+with ie.true_block():
+    x = ie.inputs(true, 0)
+    z = operator.add(x, y)
+    ie.set_output(true, 0, operator.softmax(z))
+with ie.false_block():
+    x = ie.inputs(false, 0)
+    z = layer.fc(x)
+    ie.set_output(true, 0, operator.softmax(z))
+out = b(cond)
+```
+
+In both examples, the left branch computes `softmax(x+y)` and the right branch computes `fc(x)`.
+
+A difference is that variables in the C++ program contain scalar values, whereas those in the PaddlePaddle programs are mini-batches of instances.  The `ie.input(true, 0)` invocation returns instances in the 0-th input, `x`, that corresponds to true values in `cond` as the local variable `x`, where `ie.input(false, 0)` returns instances corresponding to false values.
+
+### Blocks with `for` and `RNNOp`
+
+The following RNN model from the [RNN design doc](./rnn.md)
+
+```python
+x = sequence([10, 20, 30])
+m = var(0)
+W = tensor()
+U = tensor()
+
+rnn = create_rnn(inputs=[input])
+with rnn.stepnet() as net:
+  x = net.set_inputs(0)
+  h = net.add_memory(init=m)
+  fc_out = pd.matmul(W, x)
+  hidden_out = pd.matmul(U, h.pre(n=1))
+  sum = pd.add_two(fc_out, hidden_out)
+  act = pd.sigmoid(sum)
+  h.update(act)                       # update memory with act
+  net.set_outputs(0, act, hidden_out) # two outputs
+
+o1, o2 = rnn()
+print o1, o2
+```
+
+has its equivalent C++ program as follows
+
+```c++
+int* x = {10, 20, 30};
+int m = 0;
+int W = some_value();
+int U = some_other_value();
+
+int mem[sizeof(x) / sizeof(x[0]) + 1];
+int o1[sizeof(x) / sizeof(x[0]) + 1];
+int o2[sizeof(x) / sizeof(x[0]) + 1];
+for (int i = 1; i <= sizeof(x)/sizeof(x[0]); ++i) {
+  int x = x[i-1];
+  if (i == 1) mem[0] = m;
+  int fc_out = W * x;
+  int hidden_out = Y * mem[i-1];
+  int sum = fc_out + hidden_out;
+  int act = sigmoid(sum);
+  mem[i] = act;
+  o1[i] = act;
+  o2[i] = hidden_out;
+}
+
+print_array(o1);
+print_array(o2);
+```
+
+
+## Compilation and Execution
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+## The "Binary Executable File Format"
+
+The definition of the protobuf message is as follows:
+
+```protobuf
+message BlockDesc {
+  repeated VarDesc vars = 1;
+  repeated OpDesc ops = 2;
+}
+```
+
+The step net in above RNN example would look like
+
+```
+BlockDesc {
+  vars = {
+    VarDesc {...} // x
+    VarDesc {...} // h
+    VarDesc {...} // fc_out
+    VarDesc {...} // hidden_out
+    VarDesc {...} // sum
+    VarDesc {...} // act
+  }
+  ops = {
+    OpDesc {...} // matmul
+    OpDesc {...} // add_two
+    OpDesc {...} // sigmoid
+  }
+};
+```
+
+Also, the RNN operator in above example is serialized into a protobuf message of type `OpDesc` and would look like:
+
+```
+OpDesc {
+  inputs = {0} // the index of x
+  outputs = {5, 3} // indices of act and hidden_out
+  attrs {
+    "memories" : {1} // the index of h
+    "step_net" : <above step net>
+  }
+};
+```
+
+This `OpDesc` value is in the `ops` field of the `BlockDesc` value representing the global block.
+
+
+## The Compilation of Blocks
+
+During the generation of the Protobuf message, the Block should store VarDesc (the Protobuf message which describes Variable) and OpDesc (the Protobuf message which describes Operator).
+
+VarDesc in a block should have its name scope to avoid local variables affect parent block's name scope.
+Child block's name scopes should inherit the parent's so that OpDesc in child block can reference a VarDesc that stored in parent block. For example
+
+```python
+a = pd.Varaible(shape=[20, 20])
+b = pd.fc(a, params=["fc.w", "fc.b"])
+
+rnn = pd.create_rnn()
+with rnn.stepnet() as net:
+    x = net.set_inputs(a)
+    # reuse fc's parameter
+    fc_without_b = pd.get_variable("fc.w")
+    net.set_outputs(fc_without_b)
+
+out = rnn()
+```
+the method `pd.get_variable` 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.
+
+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.
+
+To store the definition of variables and operators, we define a C++ class `SymbolTable`, like the one used in compilers.
+
+`SymbolTable` can do the following stuff:
+
+- store the definitions (some names and attributes) of variables and operators,
+- to verify if a variable was declared,
+- to make it possible to implement type checking (offer Protobuf message pointers to `InferShape` handlers).
+
+
+```c++
+// Information in SymbolTable is enough to trace the dependency graph. So maybe
+// the Eval() interface takes a SymbolTable is enough.
+class SymbolTable {
+ public:
+  SymbolTable(SymbolTable* parent) : parent_(parent) {}
+
+  OpDesc* NewOp(const string& name="");
+
+  // TODO determine whether name is generated by python or C++
+  // currently assume that a unique name will be generated by C++ if the
+  // argument name left default.
+  VarDesc* NewVar(const string& name="");
+
+  // find a VarDesc by name, if recursive true, find parent's SymbolTable
+  // recursively.
+  // this interface is introduced to support InferShape, find protobuf messages
+  // of variables and operators, pass pointers into InferShape.
+  // operator
+  //
+  // NOTE maybe some C++ classes such as VarDescBuilder and OpDescBuilder should
+  // be proposed and embedded into pybind to enable python operate on C++ pointers.
+  VarDesc* FindVar(const string& name, bool recursive=true);
+
+  OpDesc* FindOp(const string& name);
+
+  BlockDesc Compile() const;
+
+ private:
+  SymbolTable* parent_;
+
+  map<string, OpDesc> ops_;
+  map<string, VarDesc> vars_;
+};
+```
+
+After all the description of variables and operators is added into SymbolTable,
+the block has enough information to run.
+
+The `Block` class takes a `BlockDesc` as input, and provide `Run` and `InferShape` functions.
+
+
+```c++
+namespace {
+
+class Block : OperatorBase {
+public:
+  Block(const BlockDesc& desc) desc_(desc) {}
+
+  void InferShape(const framework::Scope& scope) const override {
+    if (!symbols_ready_) {
+      CreateVariables(scope);
+      CreateOperators();
+    }
+    // should run InferShape first.
+    for (auto& op : runtime_table_.ops()) {
+      op->InferShape(scope);
+    }
+  }
+
+  void Run(const framework::Scope& scope,
+           const platform::DeviceContext& dev_ctx) const override {
+    PADDLE_ENFORCE(symbols_ready_, "operators and variables should be created first.");
+    for (auto& op : runtime_table_.ops()) {
+      op->Run(scope, dev_ctx);
+    }
+  }
+
+  void CreateVariables(const framework::Scope& scope);
+  void CreateOperators();
+
+  // some other necessary interfaces of NetOp are list below
+  // ...
+
+private:
+  BlockDesc desc_;
+  bool symbols_ready_{false};
+};
+```
+
+## The Execution of Blocks
+
+Block inherits from OperatorBase, which has a Run method.
+Block's Run method will run its operators sequentially.
+
+There is another important interface called `Eval`, which take some arguments called targets, and generate a minimal graph which takes targets as the end points and creates a new Block,
+after `Run`, `Eval` will get the latest value and return the targets.
+
+The definition of Eval is as follows:
+
+```c++
+// clean a block description by targets using the corresponding dependency graph.
+// return a new BlockDesc with minimal number of operators.
+// NOTE not return a Block but the block's description so that this can be distributed
+// to a cluster.
+BlockDesc Prune(const BlockDesc& desc, vector<string> targets);
+
+void Block::Eval(const vector<string>& targets,
+                 const framework::Scope& scope,
+                 const platform::DeviceContext& dev_ctx) {
+  BlockDesc min_desc = Prune(desc_, targets);
+  Block min_block(min_desc);
+  min_block.Run(scope, dev_ctx);
+}
+```

+# Design Doc: Refactorization Overview
+
+The goal of refactorizaiton include:
+
+1. Make it easy for external contributors to write new elementory computaiton operations.
+1. Make the codebase clean and readable.
+1. Introduce a new design of computation representation -- a computation graph of operators and variables.
+1. The graph representation helps implementing auto-scalable and auto fault recoverable distributed computing.
+
+## Computation Graphs
+
+1. PaddlePaddle represent the computation, training and inference of DL models, by computation graphs.
+
+  1. Please dig into [computation graphs](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/doc/design/graph.md) for a solid example.
+
+1. Users write Python programs to describe the graphs and run it (locally or remotely).
+
+1. A graph is composed of *variabels* and *operators*.
+
+1. The description of graphs must be able to be serialized/deserialized, so it
+
+   1. could to be sent to the cloud for distributed execution, and
+   1. be sent to clients for mobile or enterprise deployment.
+
+1. The Python program do
+
+   1. *compilation*: runs a Python program to generate a protobuf message representation of the graph and send it to
+      1. the C++ library `libpaddle.so` for local execution,
+      1. the master process of a distributed training job for training, or
+      1. the server process of a Kubernetes serving job for distributed serving.
+   1. *execution*: according to the protobuf message, constructs instances of class `Variable` and `OperatorBase`, and run them.
+
+## Description and Realization
+
+At compile time, the Python program generates protobuf message representation of the graph, or the description of the graph.
+
+At runtime, the C++ program realizes the graph and run it.
+
+| | Representation (protobuf messages) | Realization (C++ class objects) |
+|---|---|---|
+|Data|[VarDesc](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/paddle/framework/framework.proto#L107)|[Variable](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/paddle/framework/variable.h#L24)|
+|Operation|[OpDesc](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/paddle/framework/framework.proto#L35)|[Operator](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/paddle/framework/operator.h#L64)|
+|Block|BlockDesc|Block|
+
+The word *graph* is exchangable with *block* in this document.  A graph represent computation steps and local variables as a C++/Java program block, or a pair of { and }.
+
+## Compilation and Execution
+
+1. Run an applicaton Python program to describe the graph.  In particular,
+
+   1. create VarDesc to represent local/intermediate variables,
+   1. create operators and set attributes,
+   1. validate attribute values,
+   1. inference the type and the shape of variables,
+   1. plan for memory-reuse for variables,
+   1. generate backward and optimization part of the Graph.
+   1. possiblly split the graph for distributed training.
+
+1. The invocation of `train` or `infer` in the application Python program:
+
+   1. create a new Scope instance in the [scope hierarchy](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/doc/design/scope.md) for each run of a block,
+      1. realize local variables defined in the BlockDesc message in the new scope,
+      1. a scope is similar to the stack frame in programming languages,
+
+   1. create an instance of class `Block`, in which,
+      1. realize operators in the BlockDesc message,
+
+   1. run the Block by calling
+      1. `Block::Eval(vector<Variable>* targets)` for forward and backward computations, or
+      1. `Block::Eval(vector<Operator>* targets)` for optimization.
+
+
+## Intermediate Representation (IR)
+
+```text
+Compile Time -> IR -> Runtime
+```
+
+### Benefit
+
+- Optimization
+  ```text
+  Compile Time -> IR -> Optimized IR -> Runtime
+  ```
+- Send automatically partitioned IR to different nodes.
+  - Automatic data parallel
+    ```text
+    Compile Time
+    |-> Single GPU IR
+        |-> [trainer-IR-0, trainer-IR-1, pserver-IR]
+            |-> Node-0 (runs trainer-IR-0)
+            |-> Node-1 (runs trainer-IR-1)
+            |-> Node-2 (runs pserver-IR)
+    ```
+  - Automatic model parallel (planned for future)

+
+# Why separate Kernel and Operator
+
+* Separate GPU and CPU code.
+    * Make Paddle can run without GPU.
+* Make one operator (which is user interface) can contain many implementations.
+    * Same mul op, different FP16, FP32 Kernel. different MKL, eigen kernel.
+---
+
+# Libraries for Kernel development
+
+* `Eigen::Tensor` contains basic math and element-wise functions.
+    * Note that `Eigen::Tensor` has broadcast implementation.
+    * Limit number of `tensor.device(dev) = ` in your code.
+* `thrust::tranform` and `std::transform`.
+    * `thrust` has the same API as C++ standard library. Using `transform` can quickly implement a customized elementwise kernel.
+    * `thrust` has more complex API, like `scan`, `reduce`, `reduce_by_key`.
+* Hand-writing `GPUKernel` and `CPU` code
+    * Do not write `.h`. CPU Kernel should be in `.cc`. CPU kernel should be in `.cu`. (`GCC` cannot compile GPU code.)
+---
+# Operator Register
+
+## Why register is necessary?
+We need a method to build mappings between Op type names and Op classes.
+
+## How to do the register?
+
+Maintain a map, whose key is the type name and value is corresponding Op constructor.
+
+---
+# The Registry Map
+
+### `OpInfoMap`
+
+`op_type(string)` -> `OpInfo`
+
+`OpInfo`:
+
+- **`creator`**: The Op constructor.
+- **`grad_op_type`**: The type of the gradient Op.
+- **`proto`**: The Op's Protobuf, including inputs, outputs and required attributes.
+- **`checker`**: Used to check attributes.
+
+---
+# Related Concepts
+
+### Op_Maker
+It's constructor takes `proto` and `checker`. They are compeleted during Op_Maker's construction. ([ScaleOpMaker](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/paddle/operators/scale_op.cc#L37))
+
+### Register Macros
+```cpp

+# Backward Module (2/2)
+### Build Backward Network
+- **Input** graph of forwarding operators
+- **Output** graph of backward operators
+- **corner case in construction**
+	- shared variable => insert `Add` operator
+	- no gradient => insert `fill_zero_grad` operator
+	- recursive netOp => call `Backward` recursively
+	- RNN Op => recursively call `Backward` on stepnet

+# Scope, Variable, Tensor
+
+* `Tensor` is an n-dimension array with type.
+	* Only dims and data pointers are stored in `Tensor`.
+	* All operators on `Tensor` is written in `Operator` or global functions.
+	* variable length Tensor design [LoDTensor](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/paddle/framework/lod_tensor.md)
+* `Variable` is the inputs and outputs of an operator. Not just `Tensor`.
+	* step_scopes in RNN is a variable and not a tensor.
+* `Scope` is where variables store at.
+	* map<string/*var name */, Variable>
+	* `Scope` has a hierarchical structure. The local scope can get variable from its parent scope.
+
+---
+# Block (in design)
+## the difference with original RNNOp
+- as an operator is more intuitive than `RNNOp`,
+- offers new interface `Eval(targets)` to deduce the minimal block to `Run`,
+- fits the compile-time/ runtime separation design.
+  - during the compilation, `SymbolTable` stores `VarDesc`s and `OpDesc`s and serialize to a `BlockDesc`
+  - when graph executes, a Block with `BlockDesc` passed in creates `Op` and `Var` then `Run`
+
+---
+# Milestone
+- take Paddle/books as the main line, the requirement of the models motivates framework refactoring,
+- model migration
+  - framework development gives **priority support** to model migration, for example,
+    - the MNIST demo needs a Python interface,
+    - the RNN models require the framework to support `LoDTensor`.
+  - determine some timelines,
+  - heavily-relied Ops need to be migrated first,
+  - different models can be migrated parallelly.
+- improve the framework at the same time
+- accept imperfection, concentrated on solving the specific problem at the right price.
+
+---
+# Control the migration quality
+- compare the performance of migrated models with old ones.
+- follow google C style
+- build the automatic workflow of generating Python/C++ documentations
+  - the documentation of layers and ops should be written inside the code
+  - take the documentation quality into account when doing PR
+  - preview the documentations, read and improve them from users' perspective

+16. PaddlePaddle存储的参数格式是什么，如何和明文进行相互转化
+---------------------------------------------------------
+
+PaddlePaddle保存的模型参数文件内容由16字节头信息和网络参数两部分组成。头信息中，1~4字节表示PaddlePaddle版本信息，请直接填充0；5~8字节表示每个参数占用的字节数，当保存的网络参数为float类型时为4，double类型时为8；9~16字节表示保存的参数总个数。
+
+将PaddlePaddle保存的模型参数还原回明文时，可以使用相应数据类型的 :code:`numpy.array` 加载具体网络参数，此时可以跳过PaddlePaddle模型参数文件的头信息。若在PaddlePaddle编译时，未指定按照double精度编译，默认情况下按照float精度计算，保存的参数也是float类型。这时在使用 :code:`numpy.array` 时，一般设置 :code:`dtype=float32` 。示例如下：
+
+..  code-block:: python
+
+    def read_parameter(fname, width):
+        s = open(fname).read()
+        # skip header
+        vec = np.fromstring(s[16:], dtype=np.float32)
+        # width is the size of the corresponding layer
+        np.savetxt(fname + ".csv", vec.reshape(width, -1),
+                fmt="%.6f", delimiter=",")
+
+
+将明文参数转化为PaddlePaddle可加载的模型参数时，首先构造头信息，再写入网络参数。下面的代码将随机生成的矩阵转化为可以被PaddlePaddle加载的模型参数。
+
+..  code-block:: python
+
+    def gen_rand_param(param_file, width, height, need_trans):
+        np.random.seed()
+        header = struct.pack("iil", 0, 4, height * width)
+        param = np.float32(np.random.rand(height, width))
+        with open(param_file, "w") as fparam:
+            fparam.write(header + param.tostring())
+
+17. 如何加载预训练参数
+------------------------------
+
+* 对加载预训练参数的层，设置其参数属性 :code:`is_static=True`，使该层的参数在训练过程中保持不变。以embedding层为例，代码如下：
+
+..  code-block:: python
+
+    emb_para = paddle.attr.Param(name='emb', is_static=True)
+    paddle.layer.embedding(size=word_dim, input=x, param_attr=emb_para)
+
+
+* 从模型文件将预训练参数载入 :code:`numpy.array`，在创建parameters后，使用 :code:`parameters.set()` 加载预训练参数。PaddlePaddle保存的模型参数文件前16字节为头信息，用户将参数载入 :code:`numpy.array` 时须从第17字节开始。以embedding层为例，代码如下：
+
+..  code-block:: python
+
+    def load_parameter(file_name, h, w):
+        with open(file_name, 'rb') as f:
+            f.read(16)  # skip header.
+            return np.fromfile(f, dtype=np.float32).reshape(h, w)
+
+    parameters = paddle.parameters.create(my_cost)
+    parameters.set('emb', load_parameter(emb_param_file, 30000, 256))

 Another example is that each mini-batch contains 32 sentences, where each word is a D-dimensional one-hot vector.  If all sentences have the same length L, we can represent this mini-batch by a 32xLxD tensor.  However, in most cases, sentences have variable lengths, and we will need an index data structure to record these variable lengths.

+It supports both standard cross-entropy and soft-label cross-entropy loss
+computation.
+1) One-hot cross-entropy:
+    soft_label = 0, Label[i, 0] indicates the class index for sample i:
+
+                Y[i] = -log(X[i, Label[i]])
+
+2) Soft-label cross-entropy:
+    soft_label = 1, Label[i, j] indicates the soft label of class j
+    for sample i:
+
+                Y[i] = \sum_j{-Label[i, j] * log(X[i, j])}
+
+   Please make sure that in this case the summuation of each row of Label
+   equals one.
+
+3) One-hot cross-entropy with vecterized Input(Label):
+     As a special case of 2), when each row of Input(Label) has only one
+     non-zero element (equals 1), soft-label cross-entropy degenerates to a
+     one-hot cross-entropy with one-hot label representation.
