82 // mathematical expression, evaluated without overflow or intermediate
83 // rounding:
84 // (x * y) / 2^31
85 // In practice, it is expected that FixedPointMul will be implemented
86 // using hardware "rounding doubling int32 multiply high" instructions,
87 // such as VQRDMULH on ARM. See in fixedpoint.h the generic function,
88 // SaturatingRoundingDoublingHighMul.
89 //
90 // Notice that the other difference from
91 // OutputStageQuantizeDownInt32ToUint8Scale is that the result offset
92 // is applied after the multiplier and shift, not before. This ensures
93 // that no matter what the multiplier and shift are, the result offset
94 // is effectively integral: offsetting the final result by an integer.
95 // The motivation for this is to faithfully support quantization schemes
96 // where the formula linking quantized values to the real mathematical
97 // values that they represent, is of the form
98 //
99 // real_value = scale * (quantized_value - zero_point)
100 //
101 // where scale is a real number (represented in quantized form by
102 // result_fixedpoint_multiplier and result_shift) and zero_point
103 // is an integer telling which quantized value correspond to the
104 // real value 0, and is represented here by (the opposite of)
105 // result_offset_after_shift.
106 // The motivation for such a quantization scheme, designed to
107 // ensure that 0 is always a representable value, is that in
108 // many applications, we need to 0-pad arrays and that can only be
109 // done for quantized arrays if 0 is a representable value in
110 // quantized form. In particular, convolution-like operations
111 // are often implemented using 0-padding, or "im2col"-like
112 // expansions that implicitly rely on 0-padding. If 0 were not
113 // a representable value, such operations would have to pad
114 // using a nonzero value, introducing bias in the computation.
