* 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.
* Had to stop short of modifying the function return signature because of a missing C-API upstream.
* Committing here is good enough for a test and will resolve the various TODOs about upstream APIs next.
* Adds at::Tensor -> MlirValue tracking.
* Adds conversions for tensor and scalar types to MLIR types.
* Adds npcomp C APIs for constructing custom types.
* Reworks pybind include so as to get Torch pybind helpers (needed to pass at::Tensor type from Python->C++).
* Uses the MLIR-C API since that will save us a lot of grief down the road (i.e. will give PyTorch and libMLIR/libNPCOMP the ability to skew version-wise).
* Quite a few TODOs and not yet populating the function in any way.
* Uses the new dispatcher API.
* Just prints to the console for the moment when an op is captured.
* Executes the op through the existing implementation.
* Exposes the op registry via a get_registered_ops method.
* Moves the aten dialect generation scripts in prep for integrating them with this facility.
* Includes pybind11 directly (for some reason using the pytorch helper header for this depends on a source file not in the image).
* Installs nnpack into the image.
* Installs new-clang and LLD and configures environment to use it (otherwise, link time is terrible).
* Fixes a gcc compile error (in the off chance you build with default gcc compiler).
* Tests are failing based on some dialect registration stuff that must not have been factored correctly. Will followup with a fix.
* Make code that depends on the legacy "type dispatch" mechanism optional.
* This code is fairly tied to a specific ~1.3 version and uses a legacy dispatch mechanism.
* Moving it and making it optional allows the project to build with PyTorch 1.6 and makes it possible for us to start building out a more modern interface mechanism in parallel.
* Some of the moved code will be brought back into the more modern path, but isolating it now lets this be done incrementally.
* Tests are left failing since the entire frontend is optional and the next step involves reworking the interface mechanism to get them to passing in both regimes.
* Fix a few bogons to get things building
* Add Dockerfile with pytorch
Also, I configure with:
-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="/opt/pytorch/pytorch"
(which is where pytorch is installed in this container)
* Make a dep conditional.

This patch adds a pytorch interface to npcomp. This interface is modeled
after pytorch_xla and exposes the MLIR-based flow as a virtual device (similar
to a gpu device or the xla backend). Usage is intended to be something like:
dev = torch_mlir.mlir_device()
t0 = torch.randn((4,4), device=dev)
t1 = torch.randn((4,4), device=dev)
t2 = t0 + t1
t2_mlir = torch_mlir.get_mlir( t2 )
t2_cpu = t2.to('cpu')
In this case t2_cpu would contain the result of the computation, and t2_mlir
contains the mlir description of the computation. Note that this also
properly returns backward paths synthesized by pytorch. There are several
parts of this:
1) A tensor type (implemented by tensor.* and tensor_impl.*)
2) The device modeling (aten_mlir_bridge.*, aten_mlir_device.*, aten_mlir_type*)
3) a temporary IR (implemented by ir.cpp)
There is also a reference lowering directly from the ATen dialect to C
function calls consisting of two parts:
1) The driver that uses the IR to generate MLIR, run Passes and compile the
result using mlir::ExecutionEngine (implemented by jit.cpp and
mlir_gen.cpp)
2) A runtime library implemented by lib/aten_ops.cpp. Most of the operations
are implemented by callbacks into the torch C++ libraries.
Some aspects of this are known to be less than optimal, in particular:
1) There's some function definitions that don't live in the file corresponding
to their declaration.
2) More aspects of this (e.g. the IR) seem like they should be automatically
generated.
3) It's unclear to me how much of the 'IR' is actually necessary, or whether
MLIR could be created on the fly.
Note that this code is licensed in a way similar to pytorch, with the
intention that eventually (when npcomp reaches some maturity) it should be
pushed there. (see frontends/pytorch/LICENSE) The code is also structured
much closer to the pytorch coding style than the LLVM coding style.
