这样的话default type是fp16的话,不是还是强制改成了fp32嘛?

是必须强制改成fp32,因为精度问题,batchnorm 是明确要求参数不能是fp16的,一般fp16输入都是用fp32的来表达参数,输入可以是fp16,区别在于 set_default_dtype,这个会改变全局的 dtype,而这个位置应该只是改变当前层的 dtype,所以应该只改变局部dtype,而不是全局 dtype

self._dtype = 'float32'
else:
self._dtype = get_default_dtype()

param_shape = [num_features]
