Effectively, this mode works by compiling op by op as the NN is eagerly executed by PyTorch. Entailed in that compilation is building a representation of the op that can be `torch.jit.script`ed, importing using `ModuleBuilder`, and then executing (e.g., with `RefBackendLinalgOnTensorsBackend`). This mode includes a fallback to conventional PyTorch if anything in the torch-mlir compilation process fails (e.g., unsupported op).
Currently, all e2e tests pass execpt for two that involve an upstream PyTorch bug (https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/issues/74400).
High priority next steps:
1. A compile cache in order to speed up reruns of the same NN.
2. Integration with IREE (though not in this repo).
3. Integration with `torch.distributed`.
* Also adds a requirements.txt and updates docs to reference it versus stringy pip install.
* Adds doc with instructions on creating a wheel.
Fixes#370
This leaves no real code outside torch-mlir.
This also renames the "npcomp backend contract" to "linalg on tensors
backend contract" as the name of the abstraction layer that RefBackend
(IREE too) accepts.
Fixes https://github.com/llvm/mlir-npcomp/issues/311
The key change is that TorchPlugin is folded into
`torch_mlir.dialects.torch.importer.jit_ir` (it imports the PyTorch
JIT's IR, so that's a good, scoped name for it).
The CMake option `-DTORCH_MLIR_ENABLE_JIT_IR_IMPORTER=OFF` disables it,
which allows building without a PyTorch native dependency.
It just contained the e2e testing framework. We now fold it into the
main project to reduce complexity.
- `frontends/pytorch/python/` -> `python/torch_support`
- `frontends/pytorch/e2e_testing -> e2e_testing`
- `frontends/pytorch/examples -> examples`
- `frontends/pytorch/test` -> `python/test`
- `torch_mlir_torchscript` python module -> `npcomp_torchscript`
- `torch_mlir_torchscript_e2e_test_configs` python module ->
`npcomp_torchscript_e2e_test_configs`
This also changes the license of a handful of files from the
"pytorch-style" license to the regular LLVM/npcomp license. The only
people who committed to those files were myself and Yi.
This moves the bulk of the Python code (including the Torch interop)
from `frontends/pytorch` into `torch-mlir/TorchPlugin`. This also
required reconciling a bunch of other Python-related stuff, like the
`torch` dialects.
As I did this, it was simpler to just remove all the old numpy/basicpy
stuff because we were going to delete it anyway and it was faster than
debugging an intermediate state that would only last O(days) anyway.
torch-mlir has two top-level python packages (built into the
`python_packages` directory):
- `torch_mlir_dialects`: `torch` dialect Python bindings (does not
depend on PyTorch). This also involves building the aggregate CAPI for
`torch-mlir`.
- `torch_mlir`: bindings to the part of the code that links against
PyTorch (or C++ code that transitively does).
Additionally, there remain two more Python packages in npcomp (but
outside `torch-mlir`):
- `npcomp_torch`: Contains the e2e test framework and testing configs
that plug into RefBackend and IREE.
- `npcomp_core`: Contains the low-level interfaces to RefBackend and
IREE that `npcomp_torch` uses, along with its own
`MLIR_PYTHON_PACKAGE_PREFIX=npcomp.` aggregation of the core MLIR
python bindings. (all other functionality has been stripped out)
After all the basicpy/numpy deletions, the `npcomp` C++ code is now very
tiny. It basically just contains RefBackend and the `TorchConversion`
dialect/passes (e.g. `TorchToLinalg.cpp`).
Correspondingly, there are now 4 main testing targets paralleling the
Python layering (which is reflective of the deeper underlying dependency
structure)
- `check-torch-mlir`: checks the `torch-mlir` pure MLIR C++ code.
- `check-torch-mlir-plugin`: checks the code in `TorchPlugin` (e.g.
TorchScript import)
- `check-frontends-pytorch`: Checks the little code we have in
`frontends/pytorch` -- mainly things related to the e2e framework
itself.
- `check-npcomp`: Checks the pure MLIR C++ code inside npcomp.
There is a target `check-npcomp-all` that runs all of them.
The `torch-mlir/build_standalone.sh` script does a standalone build of
`torch-mlir`.
The e2e tests (`tools/torchscript_e2e_test.sh`) are working too.
The update_torch_ods script now lives in
`torch-mlir/build_tools/update_torch_ods.sh` and expects a standalone
build.
This change also required a fix upstream related to cross-shlib Python
dependencies, so we also update llvm-project to
8dca953dd39c0cd8c80decbeb38753f58a4de580 to get
https://reviews.llvm.org/D109776 (no other fixes were needed for the
integrate, thankfully).
This completes most of the large source code changes. Next will be
bringing the CI/packaging/examples back to life.
This creates the `external/torch-mlir` directory as an
LLVM_EXTERNAL_PROJECTS-compatible project (analogous to
`iree-dialects`) and completes movement/rename of all pure MLIR C/C++
compiler code into there. The next step will be to move all the Python
code / code that links/includes PyTorch C++ code (which currently lives
in `frontends/pytorch`) into a subdirectory here.
I call this "earthmoving" because it is mostly mechanical changes and
renames. As a quick summary (we can change this down the road easily)
- C++ `mlir::NPCOMP::Torch -> mlir::torch::Torch`
- CAPI `npcompTorchListTypeGet -> torchMlirTorchListTypeGet`
- preprocessor `#ifndef NPCOMP_ -> #ifndef TORCHMLIR_`
- CMake `NPCOMPFoo -> TorchMLIRFoo`
The goal of this is to create a standalone project creating a center of
mass for entry into the MLIR ecosystem from PyTorch, suitable in scope
for eventual inclusion/ownership in PyTorch. The idea is that
`external/torch-mlir` will some day be pulled out into its own
repository, and then npcomp will simply pull it in as a submodule.
Layering-wise, what lives in `torch-mlir` lowers code from PyTorch
(currently TorchScript, but TorchFX or pytorch/xla-style tracing are
possible extensions) down to what we have been calling the "Torch
backend contract" which is cleaned up IR (inlining, simplifcation,
conversion to value tensors, ...) entirely in the `torch` dialect. This
is the branching off point for further lowering, of which npcomp takes
one opinion (outside `torch-mlir` of course!), namely the
`TorchConversion` dialect/transforms which lower to IR suitable for IREE
and other linalg-on-tensors based lower-level compilers.
Summary of changes:
- move `{include,lib,test}/Dialect/Torch` into `torch-mlir`
- move relevant parts of CAPI into `torch-mlir`.
- leave a few things related to the `torch-mlir` Python build commented
out, which should be resolved in a subsequent change.
* Now the parts of the MLIR API are directly exported under the npcomp module (i.e. `npcomp.ir`, etc).
* Has required fixes for https://reviews.llvm.org/D108489
* Deletes npcomp.tracing vs fixing it because it was a very early experiment that will not be carried forward.
* This makes the npcomp python distribution completely standalone and separate from an mlir installation.
* Makes most of npcomp itself relocatable for future use as a library.
* Most things are a namespace package now. In the future we can s/torch_mlir/npcomp.frontends.torch/ and have it layer properly.
These were legacy concepts that are now superceded by direct Torch to
linalg-on-tensors lowering. These were based on some very early thinking
related to the layering of frontends vs codegen, which is now obsolete
because:
- We expected a lot more centralization at the frontend (TCF) level. It
turns out that frontend needs really vary a lot, and there is no grand
unifying TCF dialect plausible. The additional layer isn't worth it.
- Linalg-on-tensors obsoletes the primary need for TCP. There are still
a few things not representable with linalg-on-tensors, but the support
is growing and the whole "not included in linalg-on-tensors" direction
needs to be rethought. Our TCP dialect didn't cover any of the
actually important things in this space (such as sort, FFT, top-k,
etc.).
See historical [slides](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1iljcpTQ5NPaMfGpoPDFml1XkYxjK_6A4/view) / [recording](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jSPa8TwPKUt0WuLquGc8OgSUVYJHMvWZ/view)
for more details on the origin story here.
Their presence was confusing users too
[bug](https://github.com/llvm/mlir-npcomp/issues/248).
Also,
- Trim down npcomp-run-mlir testing. It was testing TCF to TCP
lowering for the most part. The essential stuff is retained and
rephrased with linalg-on-tensors. (we should probably rename it
"refback-run" or something, as it is just a way to invoke RefBackend)
- test/Python/Backend/RefJIT/simple_invoke_numpy.py is XFAIL'ed. Our
"anti-framework" direction seems to be the likely future path.
* Adds a minimal setup.py for frontends/pytorch
* Makes npcomp-core export its headers and libraries
* Adds a script to build packages.
* Adds CI step to package and smoke test.
* Will need some more tweaks and coordination prior to deploying (version locking etc).
* Most updates are mechanical except:
* python/npcomp/__init__.py and python/NpcompModule.cpp: New init/registration bits to replace some automatic things being done in the old bindings. Also an annoying linkage hack that I'll need to triage next.
* NpcompModule.cpp: New python helpers for custom types and other hard to reach items (for the new bindings).
* PybindUtils.h: Extended type casting so that the local extension can directly exchange Mlir* C types.
* python/npcomp/dialects/*: Build support and ODS bindings for local dialects.
* mlir_utils.py: Defines an ImportContext to replace the old/bad "Helper" class that tracked locations, and insertion points. This has a number of methods on it that would be good candidates to think about better ways to do them upstream.
* Also hoisted a few stand-alone samples to dedicated unit tests as they covered important things.
* More cleanup can be done, but keeping this patch as mechanical as possible to stay in NFC land (this is big enough).

Change-Id: I2bda46349a878b8265e273c05d8db6b46c0df633
After the recent change of cmake variables
from PYTHON_INCLUDE_DIRS to Python3_INCLUDE_DIRS
and PYTHON_LIBRARIES to Python3_LIBRARIES, there were
a few files that still had references to the old
variables. This patch fixes that.
* IREE doesn't have proper install support, so there is some temporary hoaky hacking in our CMakeLists.txt to shuttle some symlinks around.
* Reworked the original numpy e2e with IREE test to pipe through iree-translate.
* Removed all of the C++-level dependencies.
* Will generalize and apply to the PyTorch backend in a followup.
* A bit gross because I took the chance to upgrade all of the backend bits to the new MLIR Python bindings and we still co-mingle the old and new for now.
* Since the Python created PassManagers are configured for explicit nesting, I had to upgrade some of the pass pipelines to be explicit.
* The demo in mul_maximum_e2e.py now compiles, runs through PyTorch and through the JIT, prints and asserts the same results.
* I am not claiming that this is the prettiest API in this patch: consider that this is just directly using low-level APIs and there should be an intervening high level API.
* Adds a trampoline/loader 'torch_mlir' module.
* Plumbs through the MLIR python Context and Module creation, interoping with the MLIR Python API (resolves TODO on creating with own context and accessing the module being built).
* Inter-module Python API interop is still a bit rough but workable via the capsule mechanism. Can be evolved later.
* Exports the frontends/pytorch python sources to the project python/ build directory.
* Requires D89294 to land.
* Need to have a dag of shared library deps in order to interop across python extensions (as presented in ODM).
* Introduced add_npcomp_library and friends to mirror the MLIR setup.
* Adds a libNPCOMP.so shared library.
* Redirects tools and extensions to link against libNPCOMP.so (instead of static libs).
* Moves all libraries to lib/, all binaries to bin/ and all python extensions to python/. The invariant is that the rpaths are setup to have a one level directory structure.
* Reworks the _torch_mlir extension to build like the others (still need to come up with a consolidated rule to do this instead of open coded).
* Includes an upstream version bump to pick up needed changes.
Sizes with dynamic linking (stripped, release, asserts enabled):
libNPCOMP.so: 43M (includes much of the underlying LLVM codegen deps)
libMLIR.so: 31M
_npcomp.so: 1.6M (python extension)
_torch_mlir.so: 670K (python extension)
npcomp-capi-ir-test: 6.3K
npcomp-opt: 351K
npcomp-run-mlir: 461K
mnist-playground: 530K
Still more can be done to normalize and optimize but this gets us structurally to the starting point.
* llvm-project: b5924a8e27536d19dd5c4d302db29fb6163d5faa
* mhlo: 848ca244d20f045b7921da55a98a04d95ef94f0e
* Multiple breakages that need to be fixed.
Fixes:
* Refactor dialect registration
* Remove all kindof methods (Casting functionality has been added upstream and is implicitly
available, see https://llvm.discourse.group/t/removing-kinds-from-attributes-and-types/1547.)
* Update dialect registration to comply with https://reviews.llvm.org/D85495.
* Remove type kinds and update some changed dialect signatures.
* Upgrade ATen dialect to match upstream needs.
* Move dialect registration to tablegen.
* Register the ListType in tablegen.
* Change dialect initialization signature.
* Use TypeSwitch in MlirIr location printer.
* Remove global registry depends from npcomp-opt.
* Change LowerToLLVM to pass an MLIRContext vs an LLVMDialect for type creation.
* Remove dep on MLIREDSCInterface that is removed upstream.
* Thread through the DialectRegistry for opt and python-like tools.
* Modernize pass registration (This was forced because the GEN_PASS_REGISTRATION code now generates inline functions vs literal pass registration statements)

Mostly this is CMake cleanup. Several library dependencies are missing, which
is often revealed with shared library builds. Also, it's generally bad to
link directly against LLVM libraries because it fails when using
LLVM_LINK_LLVM_DYLIB. MLIR will pull in libLLVM.so, and there will be
duplicate linkage with the the explicit libraries. There may need to be more
refactoring here.
* Since the manylinux images do not hard-link against python libs (resolving them at runtime), the module must be built without resolving undefined references.
* For some reason, builds on this platform are stricter, exposing dependency ordering issues.
* The CMake bits to build the extension are still somewhat of a mess. I have better versions both upstream and in IREE and will be reconciling. For now, don't look too closely.
* These were separated originally for layering reasons that no longer apply.
* Most of the python extension code is under lib/ with just the module setup in python/.
* Enables e2e test.
* With what I've learned in upstream about test directory layout, I can consolidate most of the separate directories we have for these things. Will do that in a followup.
* Not pleased with the LLVM global initialization depends but serviceable for now.
