# ReLU / Rectified-Linear and Leaky-ReLU Layer
* Layer type: `ReLU`
* [Doxygen Documentation](http://caffe.berkeleyvision.org/doxygen/classcaffe_1_1ReLULayer.html)
* Header: [`./include/caffe/layers/relu_layer.hpp`](https://github.com/BVLC/caffe/blob/master/include/caffe/layers/relu_layer.hpp)
* CPU implementation: [`./src/caffe/layers/relu_layer.cpp`](https://github.com/BVLC/caffe/blob/master/src/caffe/layers/relu_layer.cpp)
* CUDA GPU implementation: [`./src/caffe/layers/relu_layer.cu`](https://github.com/BVLC/caffe/blob/master/src/caffe/layers/relu_layer.cu)
* Sample (as seen in [`./models/bvlc_reference_caffenet/train_val.prototxt`](https://github.com/BVLC/caffe/blob/master/models/bvlc_reference_caffenet/train_val.prototxt))
layer {
name: "relu1"
type: "ReLU"
bottom: "conv1"
top: "conv1"
}
Given an input value x, The `ReLU` layer computes the output as x if x > 0 and negative_slope * x if x <= 0. When the negative slope parameter is not set, it is equivalent to the standard ReLU function of taking max(x, 0). It also supports in-place computation, meaning that the bottom and the top blob could be the same to preserve memory consumption.
## Parameters
* Parameters (`ReLUParameter relu_param`)
- Optional
- `negative_slope` [default 0]: specifies whether to leak the negative part by multiplying it with the slope value rather than setting it to 0.
* From [`./src/caffe/proto/caffe.proto`](https://github.com/BVLC/caffe/blob/master/src/caffe/proto/caffe.proto):
