   * @brief Q7 softmax function
   * @param[in]       vec_in      pointer to input vector
   * @param[in]       dim_vec     input vector dimention
   * @param[out]      p_out       pointer to output vector
   * @return none.
   *
   * @details
   *
   *  Here, instead of typical natural logarithm e based softmax, we use
   *  2-based softmax here, i.e.,:
   * 
   *  y_i = 2^(x_i) / sum(2^x_j)
   *
   *  The relative output will be different here.
   *  But mathematically, the gradient will be the same
   *  with a log(2) scaling factor.
