TTNN Validation Framework
A decorator-based validation system for comparing TTNN implementations against
reference implementations (in PyTorch). Supports automatic input/output
mapping, metric computation, and result collection.
Key Features:
- Automatic comparison of TTNN vs reference implementations
- TTNN-native metric computation (stays on device until final scalar)
- Flexible input/output mapping
- Built-in metrics: max_abs_error, mean_abs_error, cosine_similarity
- Performance tracking
- Result registry for batch reporting

Convenience wrapper for TTNN-on-device comparison. Provides useful visual cue to users that the reference function is a TTNN-native function.
Args:
reference_fn: Reference function to compare against

output_to_ttnn: Maps decorated function outputs to reference function outputs
metric_tolerances: Dictionary specifying tolerances and optionally custom metrics.

NOTES:
- The reference function is expected to accepts TTNN tensors and returns a TTNN tensor
- The decorated function inputs/outputs TTNN tensors, Torch tensors, or mixed TTNN and Torch tensors
- When decorated function returns torch tensors:
- the reference function's inputs will be constructed through either input_to_ttnn or from_torch(decorated function inputs, device=ttnn.GetDefaultDevice())
- the metric on output tensor will be computed on the host
- Experimental support for on-device metric computation is provided and used when both the decorated function and the reference function return TTNN tensors
