校准执行过程中提示“IfmrQuantCalibration with offset scale is illegal"或“ IfmrQuantCalibration without offset scale is illegal”

问题描述

在调用Caffe框架执行中间校准模型推理过程中，由于输入数据范围不合法，导致量化算法计算得到的scale不合理，从而校准过程失败，终止Caffe校准流程。

可能原因

1. 数据范围 [-inf , +inf]：

   因为AMCT的量化算法需要强制过零点，所以计算出的scale也就是inf/255=inf，该情况下量化因子后续无法承载，因此量化算法会提示错误信息，不支持该数据范围。

   2. 场景2

2. 数据范围：（其中EPSILON包括DBL_EPSILON double类型，FLT_EPSILON float类型，当前使用的是FLT_EPSILON类型）

   AMCT量化支持计算得到的最大，因为在昇腾AI处理器量化动作做的是乘法计算： ， 如果scale大于， 会小于FLT_EPSILON，此时量化后结果就不可信。因此AMCT量化算法仅支持原始数据范围在内进行量化，否则会提示不支持并提示错误信息。

处理建议

根据提示信息，跳过日志中的量化层，例如上述提示信息中的Convolution1层。
