This now gives [much nicer output](https://gist.github.com/silvasean/f048e0f37b04542dae6469b86802bb3e).
Embarrassingly, we previously couldn't even report failures for two
different tests, and weren't able to report on compilation failures
(besides just crashing).
- Move frontend lowering pipelines to c++ (this helps with reproducing
failures in npcomp-opt)
- Add debugging printouts when compilation fails on RefBackendTestConfig
The experience now when a test fails during MLIR lowering is now like this:
```
NPCOMP TorchScript Object Graph IR -> NPCOMP Backend IR lowering failed with the following diagnostics:
failed to legalize operation 'torch.global_slot'
Module does not conform to npcomp's backend contract. See dialect conversion legality information above.
Error can be reproduced with:
$ npcomp-opt -torchscript-to-npcomp-backend-pipeline /tmp/ResNet18Module.mlir
```
And when TorchScript->MLIR import fails it looks like this:
```
PyTorch TorchScript module -> NPCOMP Object Graph IR import failed with the following diagnostics:
unhandled prim operation: %18 : int = prim::min(%17) # /usr/local/google/home/silvasean/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/torch/nn/functional.py:4532:4
```
Also,
- Add `--filter=<regex>` to e2e test harness to filter tests.
- Add a few prim ops that were needed to import ResNet18
- Fix torch.prim.Loop.condition assemblyFormat (it previously would not
round-trip in the case of no loop-carried variables)
This pass verifies that a given module satisfies the contract that we
have for backends. This is phrased as an "allowlist", because we want to
keep this interface tight. Also, this gives much better diagnostics than
a backend randomly crashing or failing to compile would (though they
could still be improved).
This was especially painful because if we had
`tensor<?x!numpy.any_dtype>` slip through, at some point RefBackend
would convert it to a memref type and trip the "verify type invariants"
assertion which gives no location or anything and crashed the process,
which was very unpleasant.
We implement this with the dialect conversion framework, which works
reasonably well and was quick to put together and familiar, but is still
very "op oriented". We probably want to make this hand-rolled
eventually, especially the error reporting (the most useful kind of
error for a dialect conversion user is not necessarily the best for this
use case). Also, in production, these error will go to users, and need
to be surfaced carefully such as "the compiler needs a type annotation
on this function parameter" which in general requires some special
analysis, wordsmithing, and overall awareness of the e2e use case (such
as how much we can lean into certain source locations) to provide a
meaningful user-level diagnostic.
Also, add `inline` to the current frontend lowering pass pipeline to
allow slightly more complicated programs that otherwise would fail on
shape inference.
Recommended review order:
- Changes in frontends/pytorch/examples/
- Changes in python/npcomp/compiler/pytorch/backend/
- Boilerplate for the `npcomp-iree-backend-lower-linkage` pass.
This change separates out a
`npcomp.compiler.pytorch.backend.frontend_lowering` module that does the
common lowering for all backends. The individual compiler backends
`npcomp.compiler.pytorch.backend.{refjit,iree}` now accept a loosely
defined "TCP + scalar code" IR mix that will be formalized in the
future as the interface to codegen backends.
This also required adding a small pass
`npcomp-iree-backend-lower-linkage` which adds `iree.module.export` onto
functions, and layering that into the frontend flow. The pass doesn't
require a C++-level dependency on IREE, which is nice for now. TBD how
we are going to handle lists (we hope we can get away with sneakerneting
some td files and relying on loose IR compatibility).
Running through IREE requires the ability to import `iree.compiler` and
`iree.runtime`, which can be obtained as follows:
```
python3 -m pip install iree-compiler-snapshot iree-runtime-snapshot -f https://github.com/google/iree/releases/tag/snapshot-20210406.200
PYTHONPATH="${PYTHONPATH}:${MY_IREE_BUILD}/bindings/python/"
```
This patch makes it painfully clear that we don't have any e2e testing
harness to really plug into, and also don't have a usable Python API to
our compiler stack (something usable in a jupyter notebook).
That will be addressed in subsequent commits. We've been flying by the
seat of our pants with this `examples` directory that isn't subject to
any kind of testing or real usability concerns.
* 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).
* 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.
* 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.
Other than the dialect definitions (which will live in standard Dialect/
subdirectory), the goal here is to keep RefBackend-related code nested
in {include/npcomp,lib,test}/RefBackend.
* 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.
* Adds python bindings for invoking flow, HAL, and VM lowering pipelines.
* Adds pythong bindings for translating to VM module flatbuffer.
* Adds a new backend_test/iree directory and configure lit to find the IREE python rt bindings.
* Open code a simple_invoke.py that exercises the whole pipeline (need real APIs for a lot of this).
* Fails when invoking the function because I never implemented argument marshaling for scalars :(
* Plenty of stuff to do tomorrow.
