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.
This revamps the TORCH_TO_TCF_PASSES to reflect the new layering that we
are doing in the compiler. See comments there for the layering.
Also adds `frontends/pytorch/examples/torchscript_tanh_e2e.py` as an
"example". E2E testing story TBD (want to get IREE working first).
This pass incorporates torch.type_bound info and also removes NoneType
returns (eventually it will rewrite tuple types too, but can't yet
because !basicpy.TupleType doesn't track element types).
Recommend looking at adjust-calling-conventions.mlir first to see what
it is doing, and holding your nose for the implementation of the pass.
I decided to implement this with the conversion framework, because it
gives us *some* goodies for type conversion -- mainly avoiding large
amounts of tricky RAUW dances. Unfortunately, the conversion framework
isn't a perfect fit for a couple reasons:
- the incorporation of torch.type_bound is a context-sensitive rewrite
(requires looking at the arg attr, not just the type).
- NoneType conversion is 1->0, which requires some special handling
- (not implemented yet) 1->N tuple type conversions require special
handling.
It's a little bit scary, but on balance doing it the other way would
have its own downsides.
We already had the `promoteTrailingOutTensor` flag, but weren't using
it. A inplaceVariantKernelName flag needed to be added.
This change is a little dissatisfying, as the conversions done by the
RecognizeKernelsPass are currently non-orthogonal. In particular,
`kDropResultAndAliasArg0` probably won't work as intended if mixed with
these (we probably need to promote kDropResultAndAliasArg0 to not be an
arg-level thing anyway, as we have done with promoteTrailingOutTensor).
This involved adding a new op `numpy.overwrite_array`.
```
numpy.overwrite_array %arg2 overwrites %arg0 : tensor<2x3xf32>, !numpy.ndarray<[2,3]:f32>
```
This models the destructive update behavior. Note that in the above op,
we cannot simply RAUW %arg0 with a suitably conveted %arg2 (for example,
%arg0 might have uses that are not dominated by %arg2, or might have an
alias relation with some other array in the program). In general, we
need a pass analogous to "SSA-formation" which knows how to see through
these to uncover an underlying tensor program.
Also, add tanh_out_e2e.py/div_inplace_e2e.py and fix some bitrot in
refjit.py which is my running example I'm trying to get working.
* 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.
