# 12: PyTorch Framework Integration
2+
3+
The `pytfmbs` package includes a high-level integration with PyTorch, allowing Ternary Fabric acceleration to be used transparently within standard neural network models.
4+
5+
## 1. The `TFMBSLinear` Module
6+
7+
`TFMBSLinear` is a drop-in replacement for `torch.nn.Linear`. It manages the weight quantization, memory residency, and hardware offloading automatically.
8+
9+
### Usage
10+
```python
11+
import torch
12+
from pytfmbs import TFMBSLinear
13+
14+
# Define a model using TFMBS-accelerated layers
15+
model = torch.nn.Sequential(
16+
TFMBSLinear(784, 60), # 60 lanes = 4 tiles
17+
torch.nn.ReLU(),
18+
TFMBSLinear(60, 10)
19+
)
20+
21+
# Inference (Weights are quantized and loaded on first pass)
22+
input_data = torch.randn(1, 784)
23+
output = model(input_data)
24+
```
25+
26+
## 2. Residency Management
27+
28+
The `TFMBSLinear` layer keeps weights in standard PyTorch format for easy saving/loading but moves them to the Fabric SRAM upon the first forward pass.
29+
30+
* **Weight Address:** Each layer can be assigned a specific `weight_addr` in the Fabric's SRAM Bank A to prevent overlaps.
31+
* **Automatic Quantization:** Weights are currently quantized using a simple symmetric sign function during the loading process.
32+
33+
## 3. Performance & Zero-Skip
34+
35+
The PyTorch integration fully supports the hardware's **Zero-Skip** feature. By using `TFMBSLinear`, the model automatically benefits from power and cycle savings when either weights or activations are zero.
36+
37+
### Profiling Integration
38+
You can still use the standard `Fabric.profile()` methods to extract telemetry after running a PyTorch model.
39+
40+
```python
41+
import pytfmbs
42+
fabric = pytfmbs.Fabric()
43+
# ... run model ...
44+
stats = fabric.profile_detailed()
45+
print(f"Cycles: {stats['cycles']}")
46+
```
47+
48+
## 4. Advanced: `TFMBSLinearFunction`
49+
50+
For custom integration, you can use `TFMBSLinearFunction`, which is a `torch.autograd.Function`. This allows the Fabric to participate in the autograd graph, supporting potential future training scenarios or custom hybrid execution paths.
51+
52+
## 5. Technical Details: PT-5 Packing
53+
54+
The integration handles the complex PT-5 packing required for both weights and inputs.
55+
- **Input Packing:** Activations are dynamically packed and broadcast to the active tiles' Bank B SRAM.
56+
- **Weight Packing:** Weights are pre-packed into "Lane-Major" format to match the Vector Engine's parallel access patterns.
