Summary
mul(x, x).How it works
Each multiplication operand produces its own partial gradient and completes any required broadcast reduction independently. When both operands share one value ID, the two resulting gradient IDs are combined with an
AddOperator, whose output becomes the sole exported gradient for that input.How to test
2 * seed * value.
