- Going through the `#torch-mlir` channel on the `llvm` discord, I
realize that there are some useful commands that would be extremely
helpful in creating Onnx lowers to Torch MLIR. Seems a lot of people are
contributing to this. So, I thought it would be good to add this
information to the docs.
These tools helped streamlined the development of this PR:
https://github.com/llvm/torch-mlir/pull/2682
This is part 1 of 2, which will also include upstreaming the FX
importer. I started with ONNX because it forces some project layout
updates and is more self contained/easier as a first step.
Deviating somewhat from the RFCs on project layout, I made the following
decisions:
* Locating the `onnx_importer.py` into `torch_mlir.extras` as Maks
already has opened up that namespace and it seemed to fit. Better to
have fewer things at that level.
* Setup the build so that the root project only contains MLIR Python and
pure Python deps (like the importers), but this can be augmented with
the `projects/` adding more depending on which features are enabled.
* The default build continues to build everything whereas in
`TORCH_MLIR_ENABLE_ONLY_MLIR_PYTHON_BINDINGS=1` mode, it builds a
`torch-mlir-core` wheel with the pure contents only.
`onnx_importer.py` and `importer_smoke_test.py` are almost verbatim
copies from SHARK-Turbine. I made some minor local alterations to adapt
to paths and generalize the way they interact with the outer project. I
expect I can copy these back to Turbine verbatim from here. I also
updated the license boilerplate (they have the same license but slightly
different project norms for the headers) but retained the correct
copyright.
Other updates:
* Added the ONNX importer unit test (which also can generate test data)
in lit, conditioned on the availability of the Python `onnx` package. In
a followup once I know everything is stable, I'll add another env var
that the CI can set to always enable this so we know conclusively if
tests pass.
* Moved the ONNX conversion readme to `docs/`.
* Renamed CMake option `TORCH_MLIR_ENABLE_ONLY_MLIR_PYTHON_BINDINGS` ->
`TORCH_MLIR_ENABLE_PYTORCH_EXTENSIONS` and inverted the sense. Made the
JitIR importer and LTC options `cmake_dependent_options` for robustness.
