# Client Example: BatchNorm with Instance ID Selection
## Theory
This client example demonstrates **batch normalization** using explicit instance ID selection. In Composable Kernel, "instance ID" refers to a specific kernel configuration (tile sizes, vectorization, etc.) chosen for a given workload. This allows users to benchmark or select the best-performing kernel for their data shape.
**Mathematical Formulation:**
See [BatchNorm Theory](../13_batchnorm/README.md) for the mathematical details of batch normalization.
**Algorithmic Background:**
- The example shows how to enumerate and select a specific kernel instance by its ID.
- Useful for performance tuning, benchmarking, and debugging.
- BatchNorm is performed in NHWC layout.
## How to Run
### Prerequisites
Please follow the instructions in the main [Build Guide](../../README.md#building-ck) section as a prerequisite to building and running this example.
### Build and run
```bash
cd composable_kernel/client_example/14_instance_id
mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/opt/rocm/bin/hipcc ..
make -j
# Example run (selects a specific kernel instance)
./batchnorm_fwd_instance_id
```
## Source Code Structure
### Directory Layout
```
client_example/14_instance_id/
├── batchnorm_fwd_instance_id.cpp # Batchnorm forward with instance ID selection
├── CMakeLists.txt # Build configuration for the example
```
### Key Functions
- **main()** (in `batchnorm_fwd_instance_id.cpp`):
Sets up input tensors, enumerates available kernel instances, selects an instance by ID, launches the batchnorm kernel, and verifies the result.
- **Instance selection**:
Demonstrates how to use the Composable Kernel API to list and select kernel configurations.
---
## Additional Details
- Useful for kernel benchmarking and performance tuning.
- Example parameters and instance ID can be adjusted in the source.
