Summary:
We implement
native_layer_norm
which has 3 outputsnormalized_shape

According to SS-JIA's suggestion, a model specific implementation is more performant and preferred to a generic one. So we implemented the op in the following optimized way
normalized_shape
of len 1, namely we do the normalization through computing the mean and var at the last width dimnative_layer_norm.glsl
without invoking the shaders to compute mean and var respectivelyDifferential Revision: D56005629
