TensorFlow 提供了一些操作和類，您可以使用它們來控制操作的執行，並向圖表新增條件依賴項。

tf.identity
tf.tuple
tf.group
tf.no_op
tf.count_up_to
tf.cond
tf.case
tf.while_loop

tf.identity

 
tf.identity(
    input,
    name=None
)

返回和輸入大小與內容一致的tensor

引數:

input: 一個Tensor.
name: 操作名字（可選）
這個方法的原始碼：

def identity(input, name=None):  # pylint: disable=redefined-builtin
  r"""Return a tensor with the same shape and contents as input.
  Args:
    input: A `Tensor`.
    name: A name for the operation (optional).
  Returns:
    A `Tensor`. Has the same type as `input`.
  """
  if context.executing_eagerly():
    input = ops.convert_to_tensor(input)
    in_device = input.device

    # TODO(ashankar): Does 'identity' need to invoke execution callbacks?
    context_device = context.context().device_name
    if not context_device:
      context_device = "/job:localhost/replica:0/task:0/device:CPU:0"
    if context_device != in_device:
      return input._copy()  # pylint: disable=protected-access
    return input
  else:
    return gen_array_ops.identity(input, name=name)
 

從原始碼可看出，input的device會與context.context()相比較，如果相同，則直接返回input，如果不相同則返回disable=protected-access許可權的input的copy。
