Hello Xie,
I am assuming you want to know about the nnet.internal.cnn.layer.CPUFusableLayer.
The nnet.internal.cnn.layer.CPUFusableLayer is an internal class in MATLAB's Neural Network Toolbox that represents a CNN layer capable of being fused with other compatible layers to enhance CPU performance. Layer fusion involves combining multiple layers into a single layer to optimize computation and memory usage. The CPUFusableLayer class specifically focuses on fusing layers on the CPU, aiming to reduce memory transfers and improve overall efficiency in CNN models.
However, it's important to note that the nnet.internal.cnn.layer.CPUFusableLayer class is not meant to be accessed or used directly by users. MATLAB provides higher-level APIs and functions, such as the nnet.cnn.layer namespace, that offer documented and supported ways to work with CNN layers and achieve desired functionality.
If you are working with CNN models in MATLAB, I recommend utilizing the documented functions and classes provided by the Neural Network Toolbox, as they offer a more user-friendly and reliable approach to working with CNN layers.
Hope this helps!
