2.4.2.5. Module: softmax

The softmax module is enabled or disabled by including a custom auxiliary primitive (custom_aux_primitive) with a layer_type and name set to softmax. The primitive must connect to the crossbar (xbar).

The file example_architectures/Generic_softmax.arch has an example of this connectivity.
