We lower through linalg-on-tensors and use RefBackend to run it.
This adds enough support for a "tanh" op. Adding more ops should be
fairly mechanical now that things are wired up. Run with:
```
./tools/torchscript_e2e_test.sh -c tosa
```
The backend structure is very similar to linalg-on-tensors based E2E
backends and is a nice parallel (see `tosa_backend.py`). Actually, this
forced a nice refactoring to the layering here. We removed
`torchscript-module-to-linalg-on-tensors-backend-pipeline` and instead
require separately running
```
torchscript-function-to-torch-backend-pipeline,torch-backend-to-linalg-on-tensors-backend-pipeline
```
This highlights the step that lowers to the "torch backend contract"
of cleaned up `torch` dialect ops is a critical step in the lowering.
Going forward, that is the key load-bearing contract of the torch-mlir
project, not the linalg-on-tensors backend contract.
Recommended review order:
- `TorchToTosa.cpp` / `TorchToTosa/basic.mlir`
- `python/torch_mlir_e2e_test/torchscript/configs/tosa_backend.py` and
the new `utils.py` file there.
- `python/torch_mlir_e2e_test/tosa_backends/linalg_on_tensors.py` and
`abc.py` in that directory for the TOSA backend e2e interface.
- other misc mechanical changes

Implement the `lazytensor` python package for converting
lazy computations captured by the Lazy Tensor Core into MLIR.
This PR also fixes a few things with `torchfx` and its example
Also contains the following changes:
- Remove derefineOp canonicalizer because it's not safe.
- Support for optional tensor and list tensors in reduceOpVariant. This
only works for some special detected and easy to handle cases. For list,
it covers the case list is got from a `ListConstruct`. For optional, it
covers the case optional is constructed from a `DerefineOp`.
- Remove the `inferReturnTypes` for `FromBuiltinTensorOp` because it's
not safe to deduce types from the input. For example, a built-in tensor
of i8 could be converted to si8 or ui8. It's better to let the user
specify the return type explicitly.
A few remain in examples/docs that will be naturally be updated in due
time.
This regresses the list support and the general direction of more widely
supported control flow, lists/dicts/globals that we were going for with
the TorchScript path. The idea is that we are deferring that work to
make torch-mlir a very clean standalone thing. We will reboot it,
probably using some of the tools of iree_pydm to make it simpler, and in
a more natural place (such as an iree-torch repo that depends on IREE and
torch-mlir to build a working PyTorch frontend solution for IREE -- it
was really weird that npcomp depended on IREE).
Our new dependency management solution relies:
- on the C++ side with the public iree-dialects project, which we
include and are using as representative of some missing upstream
ops (so we treat them "as if" they were upstream, with the hope of
upstreaming them after some codevelopment has happened)
- on the Python side, with simple PYTHONPATH manipulation or installed
Python packages. No CMake stuff required.
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.
This plumbs through a vertical slice of support for lists.
The main chunk of new code here is AnnotateABIPass which captures the
program signature at the Torch backend contract layer, right before we
start `TorchConversion`. The `TorchConversion` lowering process is lossy
w.r.t. types, so it's necessary to do this for all targets in general.
Like using `!iree.list` directly, we use IREE's ABI annotation
representation for this, although there is nothing very IREE-specific
about it (see
https://github.com/google/iree/blob/main/docs/developers/design_docs/function_abi.md)
We change `ListLiteralModule_basic` to use `!torch.int` because IREE
doesn't support f64 yet (and we don't yet have a way for users to say
that they want `!torch.float` to lower as f32).
Recommended review order:
- AnnotateABIPass and tests
- Arg marshaling in npcomp_backend.py and `iree.py`
- Updates to `list_programs.py` / `xfail_sets.py`
- Moving DeleteDeadIREEListsPass to Backend/Common, so that backends
that don't support lists can use it. RefBackend uses that pass, for
example.
This contains the following changes:
- Fix optional knowledge propagation. The initial knowledge should
always be NotNone for the operations we implemented.
- Add Folder for `prim.dtype`
- builder.getSymbolRefAttr is gone.
- OpAsmOpInterface's getAsmResultNames method needs explicit override
- a bunch of churn for builtin.func needing to be made explicit (and
sometimes implicit?)
- operation printers no longer need to print the operation name
themselves.
- snuck in beneficial trivial addition to TmpDeleteDeadIREEListsPass to
test a particular upstream change e2e with my local patchset.
It doesn't work properly with the new dialect registration framework.
This was latent and only was exposed when running through npcomp-opt.
Not worth investing the brainpower to fix now.
- Add `!torch.optional` knowledge tracking
- Changes to improve type propagation for branches and terminators. See
examples in `refine-types-branch.mlir`
- Refator to separate handling of different ops from `visitOperation`
- Add refine types for a few new ops
This converts a basic list op (torch.prim.ListConstruct) to the IREE
dialect.
```
def forward(self, x: float):
return [x, x]
```
turns into:
```
builtin.func @forward(%arg0: !torch.float) -> !torch.list<!torch.float> {
%0 = torch.prim.ListConstruct %arg0, %arg0 : (!torch.float, !torch.float) -> !torch.list<!torch.float>
return %0 : !torch.list<!torch.float>
}
```
which turns into:
```
builtin.func @forward(%arg0: f64) -> !iree.list<f64> {
%c1 = constant 1 : index
%c0 = constant 0 : index
%c2 = constant 2 : index
%0 = iree.list.create %c2 : !iree.list<f64>
iree.list.set %0[%c0], %arg0 : !iree.list<f64>, f64
iree.list.set %0[%c1], %arg0 : !iree.list<f64>, f64
return %0 : !iree.list<f64>
}
```
As part of doing this, I realized that it was time to formalize the IR
form that we reach right before running TorchTo{Linalg,Std,...}. We now
call it the "Torch backend contract". We then lower the "Torch backend
contract" to the "npcomp backend contract", which involves the new
TorchConversion (`torch_c`) dialect, which holds ops that need to
operate on both the npcomp backend types (e.g. builtin tensors, i1, IREE
list, etc.) and the `!torch` types.
This made more sense, as I realized that if I didn't factor out
`torch_c` then the Torch dialect would have a dependency on IREE
dialect (we previously didn't notice this was an issue because we only
depended on `builtin` types), which seemed wrong to me.
Recommended review order:
- TorchToIREE.cpp / `TorchToIREE/basic.mlir`
- Look at the new structure of createTorchScriptToNpcompBackendPipeline.
It now lives in TorchConversion/Transforms/Passes.cpp and cleanly
calls into `Torch::createTorchScriptToTorchBackendPipeline` for the
frontend lowering to the Torch backend contract.
- Mechanical change extracting
`torch_c.{to,from}_{i1,i64,f64,builtin_tensor,iree_list}` into a new
TorchConversion dialect, and a few passes specific to the lowering
from the Torch backend contract to the npcomp backend contract.
- Minor fixes to TorchToLinalg.cpp to use unconverted operands (now that
we convert lists as part of operand materialization, we need to use
the original operands). Also added test for AtenMaxPool2dOp and fixed
m_TorchConstantIntList.
- TmpDeleteDeadIREELists pass. Temporary pass for deleting dead IREE lists that
are created as part of operand materialization for conv/max pool/avg pool ops
in TorchToLinalg.
With the following changes the compilation can continue until
RefineTypes pass:
- Add operators without ODS into `torch_ods_gen.py`
- Add some new optional and list types in `TorchTypes.td`
- Add some folders for aten int type comparator ops
- Modify GlobalizeObjectGraph.cpp. For global slots that's not used,
dont check if an aliased value is stored in more than one of global
slots. This can work around a failure where the same tensor is stored
in multiple "version" slots which are not used.
This includes the following changes to import MT model into MLIR. There
are still a lot of work to for actual compilation.
- Add `torch.dict<>`, `torch.any`, `torch.number` types
- Add `torch.prim.DictConstruct` op
- Fix `torch.prim.TupleConstruct` op assembly format to include resulting types
This takes the example from torchscript_resnet18_e2e.py and puts it into
a slightly cleaned up notebook form.
It's still a little rough around the edges. Areas for improvement:
- Installation / setup.
- API usability.
Also,
- Add `npcomp-backend-to-iree-frontend-pipeline` since we will be adding
more stuff there.
- Slight cleanups.
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.
- Build adjustments for `.cpp.inc` dialect files.
- Renaming of `memref.dim` to `tensor.dim` for tensor case.
Minor changes:
- Renaming of `mlir::linalg::ReassociationIndices` to
`mlir::ReassociationIndices`.
- Adjust command line option parsing in npcomp-run-mlir.
We plumb through e2e a fair number of interesting cases:
- unary, binary, ternary elementwise ops
- ops like `torch.aten.add.Tensor` that also take a scalar parameter
- static size-1 broadcasting
We allow the static size-1 broadcasting case, but emit a runtime error
in the case of dynamic size-1 broadcasting. This seems like a sweet spot
subset of things that can be lowered directly to linalg, while not being
overly constraining to users. This is consistent with what IREE is doing
for CHLO->Linalg lowering as well
([code](50bf7a87e4/iree/compiler/InputConversion/MHLO/BroadcastingToLinalgPatterns.cpp (L1))).
To test the static size-1 case, we added support for the
`torch.aten.unsqueeze` op and lowering for it through
`linalg.tensor_expand_shape`. This involved a generalization of
`MaximizeValueSemantics` able to handle it (the solution there also
works for `torch.aten.flatten.using_ints` which we need for ResNet
anyway)
Also, a few minor additional changes:
- Add `VerifyInvariantsBeforeBackendLowering` pass, which catches a
large class of errors before we get to backend lowering (now that we
are doing dialect conversion, the errors are way nicer if we just emit
them up front rather than in the guts of a random pattern).
- Minor change to RefBackend to allow `linalg.tensor_expand_shape`.
Recommended review order:
- e2e tests in elementwise.py
- `ConvertElementwiseOp` in TorchToLinalg.cpp + elementwise.mlir test
- `ConvertAtenUnsqueezeOp` in TorchToLinalg.cpp + unsqueeze.mlir test
- RefineTypes.cpp + tests
- MaximizeValueSemantics changes + test
- VerifyInvariantsBeforeBackendLowering pass + test
This adds a pattern to MaximizeValueSemantics which does a simple
abstract interpretation within a block, which handles simple cases of
`torch.overwrite_tensor`, enough to remove all the unnecessary uses of
non-value tensors in ResNet right now.
Before/after IR:
[gist](https://gist.github.com/silvasean/a3e1ef625b19dfc63579f73cd3b543b6)
Also,
- Split `torch.copy.tensor` into `torch.copy.to_tensor` and
`torch.copy.to_vtensor` which convert between value and non-value
semantic tensors. This is a much cleaner factorization as they have
very separate use cases and properties (e.g. different side effects)
- Remove the various canonicalization patterns they had, which were
confusing because they resulted in limited forms of maximizing value
semantics throughout the pipeline. We should structure our compilation
pipeline such that only MaximizeValueSemantics should be maximizing
value semantics.
- Adjust pass pipeline to only run MaximizeValueSemantics once.
- Make OverwriteTensorOp `$value` always be a value tensor and
`$overwritten` be a non-value tensor.
This op is much better behaved than the `torch.tensor.literal` op
(which is the new name of the `torch.tensor` op). In particular
`torch.tensor.literal`:
- always has a maximally refined type.
- always has value semantics.
- can be constant folded / CSE'd.
ReduceOpVariants is changed to perform the transformation from
`torch.tensor.literal` to `torch.vtensor.literal` (which in general
involves static information casts and copies.
This new op also allowed tightening up `torch.tensor.literal` to only
accept NonValueTensorType (instead of any tensor type).
This new ".literal" name is more descriptive. It was getting too
confusing seeing an op called just `torch.tensor` (we originally called
it that because that's the name of the similar function in the Torch
Python API, but it just doesn't fit here).
This removes the dependence of the `torch` dialect on the low-level
builtin types.
Now the `torch` dialect is a standalone layer, suitable for targeting
from higher-level Python abstractions without any premature lowering to
primitive types.
This replaces the ad-hoc use of `i64` throughout the Torch layer, and
helps to keep it crystal clear the distinction between `!torch.int`
(which is modeling the Python `int` type) and the various types that
serve as dtypes of tensors, which are a totally different type universe.
Changes:
- `!torch.int` type and C bindings.
- Change `torch.constant.int` parser to not need the `: i64` at the end.
- `m_TorchConstantInt` matcher to aid with matching constants.
- BackendTypeConversion changes for `!torch.int` -> `i64` type
conversion.
- Refactor finalizing patterns in FinalizingBackendTypeConversionPass
(they were getting very repetitive).
- Mechanical rewriting of `!torch.int` to `i64` in all the tests, and
`AnyTorchIntType` to `Torch_IntType` in the `.td` files.
This fixes a "regression" on ResNet where we weren't folding away all
the control flow. For now, our policy is to "optimize hard enough" to
make that control flow go away, because we don't yet have a way to lower
to the backend the stuff guarded by the control flow (RaiseException,
string operations, etc.).
It remains to be seen how much optimization we decide to do at this
level in the fullness of time -- the torch op set is not particularly
well-designed (at least not idiomatically for MLIR) for general
optimization. Ideally, with really good backend support for various
features, all the heavy optimization will happen at that layer on `std`
ops and `scf` control flow. But I have a suspicion we might end up
needing more optimization earlier in the pipeline.
This removes the use of `scf.if`, which required laundering back and
forth between `i1` and `!torch.bool` in the frontend. We will eventually
lower this op to `scf.if`, but this results in a cleaner IR and layering
at the frontend.
This finishes removing the dependence on the basicpy dialect!
Changes:
- Add `!torch.bool` type and replace use of `!basicpy.BoolType` in
Torch-related code.
- Rename BuiltinTensorize to BackendTypeConversion since now it handles
bool conversions (and, when we add !torch.int and !torch.float, it
will handle those as well), and generalize the related utilities (I
also moved them to Torch/Transforms since they aren't really part of
Torch/IR).
- Add `torch.to_i1` and `torch.from_i1` ops for materializations
- [cleanup] Reorganize `torch.constant.*` ops in TorchOps.td
- Remove dependency of `torch` dialect on `basicpy` dialect and also
`std` dialect. For `std`, we use some call related ops, but the
`torch` dialect itself never produces them (we have passes that do
though).
This is fairly mechanical. Recommended review order:
- New stuff in Torch/IR
- New BuiltinTypeConversion files.
- Mechnical fixups elsewhere.
- Make consistent with MLIR Core
- Use `//` or `///` comments.
- Use `bool` type for booleans
- No duplicated comments in .cpp files
- Split types into separate files `{Basicpy,Numpy,Torch}Types.h`
- Add dialect prefix consistently to C API symbols. We have lots of
similarly named types (e.g. "list" type in basicpy and torch).
- Add `torch.constant.none` op to construct it (naming is chosen to be
analogous to Torch's representation of a prim::Constant with
NoneType, rather than using the "singleton" terminology of Basicpy).
This removes our reliance on the numpy dialect and avoids our off-label
use of the builtin tnesor type for modeling unknown dtypes. The
`!torch.vtensor` (`ValueTensorType`) type is a value-semantic tensor.
The `!torch.tensor` (`NonValueTensorType`) type is a non-value-semantic
tensor. The new types look as follows syntactically:
```
// Least-static-information, non-value-semantic tensor.
!torch.tensor
// Explicit form of least-static-information variant.
!torch.tensor<*,unk>
// Least-static-information, value-semantic tensor.
!torch.vtensor
// Explicit form of least-static-information variant.
!torch.vtensor<*,unk>
// Fixed-set of allowable element types, with first-class support for
// Torch's frontend signedness semantics.
!torch.tensor<*,si32>
// First-class support for unknown dtypes.
!torch.tensor<[?,?,?],unk>
// Standard MLIR representation of `?` for unknown dimensions.
!torch.tensor<[?,2,?,4],unk>
// Statically shaped / dtyped example.
!torch.vtensor<[1,2,3,4],f32>
```
This required fairly significant changes throughout the compiler, but
overall it is a big cleanup. We now have a much clearer layering of "the
Torch frontend lowering" vs "lowering to std + linalg + etc.".
At the C++ level, there is `ValueTensorType`, `NonValueTensorType`.
We also have a helper `BaseTensorType` (kind of like ShapedType) which
interoperates with those two.
Included changes:
- New `torch.tensor(dense<0.0> : tensor<5xf32>) : !torch.tensor` op for
creating torch tensor literals in the frontend.
- Consistently use signedness for the types (except i1 which I didn't
touch -- we need to sort out the situation with !basicpy.BoolType
there anyway so will be attending to that soon)
- Frontend can annotate whether an argument to the function has value
semantics. We currently require this, as our backend contract does not
currently allow us to even model the non-value-semantic case. Before,
the value-semantic assumption was randomly injected in the middle of
the pass pipeline.
- Move ArrayToTensor (now called MaximizeValueSemantics) and
RefinePublicReturn passes to torch dialect.
- The TorchToStd and TorchToLinalg passes are now type conversions from
`!torch.vtensor` to `tensor` and use the dialect conversion infra.
The overall conversion pipeline is set up following the best practices
of the "Type Conversions the Not-So-Hard Way" talk. This required
introducing `torch-func-builtin-tensorize` and
`torch-finalizing-builtin-tensorize` passes analogous to the upstream
bufferization passes with the corresponding names (mostly just
copypasta from there).
- Misc Torch-level canonicalizations -- we now cleanly layer the
lowering to std later in the pipeline, so we are gradually lessening
our reliance on random std constant folding before we get to that
point.
Recommended review order:
- New types in TorchTypes.td/TorchTypes.h/TorchDialect.cpp
- New ops in TorchOps.td / TorchOps.cpp
- Less important / more mechanical stuff
- Frontend changes.
- Pass changes/additions in `Torch/Transforms` and `Conversion/`
This is enough to import the program and get it through the compilation
pipeline. It of course fails at the VerifyBackendContract pass since
there is a lot missing, but the final IR for a simple quantized MLP is
looking pretty decent already:
[IR](https://gist.github.com/silvasean/f76bccd76e9b193d396cfb2f9a11f54d)
Main changes:
- Add support for importing torch quantized tensors, including
`torch.per_tensor_affine.create` op and `!torch.qint8` element type.
- Add support for importing `LinearPackedParamsBase` (basically a weight
+ optional bias, but requires `torch.linear_params.create` op +
`!torch.LinearParams` type to model it). This was less painful than I
expected, as it has the necessary methods to opaquely unpack itself. I
factored things so it should be easy to extend to other custom classes
like `ConvPackedParamsBase`.
- Add minimal boilerplate for importing `quantized::*` ops, with
`quantized::linear` being a motivating example.
- Add e2e test with simple quantized MLP (courtesy of @phoenix-meadowlark).
This is somewhat of an abuse of `!numpy.ndarray` / `tensor`, as
really the proper semantics of `!torch.qint8` dtype on a Torch tensor is
"check the quantizer object of the tensor for side data (scale/offset,
possibly per-channel) that defines the full semantics of the tensor". We
don't have any such notion of "side data" for `!numpy.ndarray` /
`tensor`, let alone anything that would have the associated behavior of
keying off the dtype to determine if the side data is present.
This will be fixed by a proper `!torch.tensor` type.
This is a really major and invasive restructuring of the way we get
torch operators (`torch::jit::Operator` / `c10::OperatorHandle`) into
MLIR. Please forgive the challenging review, but due to the sheer
invasiveness, it wasn't really practical do do it in sane smaller
pieces.
This fully replaces everything that was already working on the
TorchScript path (actually, more -- we added tanh support to
TorchToLinalg in order to delete the older code paths). Additionally,
I've kept the lights on for the acap path too, including what little e2e
stuff was working before (for expediency I made a few tiny compromises
along the way that will be easy to undo when we give that path proper
attention).
Overview of the new design:
- The torch operator `somens::someunqualname.someoverloadname` is
imported as `torch.somens.someunqualname.someoverloadname` (skip the
last dotted part if the overload name is empty), OR, if we don't have
such an op registered, it is imported as
`torch.operator "somens.someunqualname.someoverloadname" (...) : ...`.
- The addition of the "overload name" is a critical element here, as
the `(ns,unqual,overload)` triple is unique, which solves a lot of
problems we were having.
- This involves having separate MLIR ops for the `trailing_` and
`.out` variants and all the different overloads. This seemed
necessary, because the set of overloads is so wild and varied and
unstructured. The previous design was leaning into some underlying
structure that just isn't there -- the default situation is
the "random overload that we want to manage on the MLIR side",
rather than that being an exception. E.g. `aten::ne` (not-equal)
has 21 overloads, only 4 of which are c10 dispatcher ops see
[gist](https://gist.github.com/silvasean/190ba918c550c956260e21254e1b8aa1),
and the "out" variant is really called `.Tensor_out` instead of
`.out` as it frequently is for other ops.
- Rationale for all being in `torch` namespace: the set of operators
are so varied and unstructured that "dialect per namespace"
doesn't result in anything resembling the typical MLIR dialect
boundary expectations. We could maybe draw the boundary at
dispatcher ops vs non-dispatcher ops, but that doesn't seem to
really result in very much useful structure at this point in time.
- Note: within the torch operator registry, we effectively have a
mini-basicpy subdialect (already type-resolved), which is reasonably
structured.
- The existing Torch op interfaces are also removed -- now that we
track the overload name, we can losslessly find the original
operator.
- Instead of `ATenRecognizeKernelsPass`, we now have a
`ReduceOpVariantsPass` that keys off certain traits (and perhaps
eventually interfaces) to reduce variants of ops to a smaller set,
ideally operating on immutable tensors and using surrounding ops to
model the mutability/aliasing aspects.
- Note: `torch.ns.unqual.overload` ops allow both immutable and
mutable tensors (unlike the previous hard distinction in the common
case). This is a premonition for a future change that will introduce a
bona fide `!torch.tensor` type that will clean up a bunch of stuff.
- `TorchToLinalg` / `TorchToStd` supercede the existing
"ATen->TCF->TCP->Linalg" path.
- The new `torch_ods_gen.py` supercedes `torch_signature_ods_gen.py`.
It should look somewhat familiar, but the benefit of hindsight has
allowed a lot of simplifications.
The overall trend seems to be to make the `torch` dialect a nice layer
independent of anything else. It feels like as a natural result of
various future changes we will be removing the reliance on basicpy+numpy
dialects and have a nice self-contained type system too that properly
models the TorchScript type system (including proper subtyping,
mutable/immutable tensors, optional dtype, etc.).
Recommended review order:
- Start at some of the new import IR, e.g. in
`frontends/pytorch/test/node_import/prim.py`,
`frontends/pytorch/test/acap_export/test_export_add3.py`, and other
tests.
- `frontends/pytorch/python/torch_mlir_utils/codegen/torch_ods_gen.py`
and associated generated files:
- `include/npcomp/Dialect/Torch/IR/GeneratedAtenOps.td`
- `include/npcomp/Dialect/Torch/IR/GeneratedPrimOps.td`
- Inspect `ReduceOpVariants.cpp` / `reduce-op-variants.mlir` and the new
traits in `include/npcomp/Dialect/Torch/IR/TorchTraits.h`
- Various code changes in the import path in
`frontends/pytorch/csrc/builder`. Probably most interesting is the new
code in `torch_to_mlir_utils.cpp` that has the logic to create the
`torch.operator` ops or `torch.ns.unqual.overload` ops.
This is the [new ResNet IR](https://gist.github.com/silvasean/5407aafb710d07612b7b5b92eabecebe),
just to be able to look at a substantial sample of IR in the new style.
- aten::relu_, aten::max_pool2d, aten::adaptive_avg_pool2d, aten::batch_norm, aten::conv2d
No aten-to-linalg conversion for the latter ones, as they are fairly
substantial. At this point, I'm trying to get shape inference and stuff
working for them and the IR cleaned up.
This trait lets us model the semantics of various aten/torch/numpy ops
that are insensitive to type refinements. This replaces
hardcoded/inconsistent checks for this property.
To show usage of this new trait, we fix up some old uses, and improve
RefineTypes to be smarter about rewriting with this trait.
Interestingly, TorchScript has its own op (`torch::jit::Operator`)
registry separate from the dispatcher (it is a superset of the
dispatcher).
This is where the "prim" ops and some "aten" ops (that should probably
be renamed to "prim") live. In particular, `aten::__is__` is in that
latter category of "aten but really prim". This registry is also the
source of truth for what the TorchScript interpreter calls into when it
executes.
The bulk of the "not part of the dispatcher" ops live in
09feb5f579/torch/csrc/jit/runtime/register_prim_ops.cpp (L82)
And the registry itself lives in:
09feb5f579/torch/csrc/jit/runtime/operator.cpp (L196)
This fold further reduces the IR of ResNet by folding away some
more not-taken branches. These not-taken branches in ResNet require
first-class handling of the list type which we don't yet have on any
backend.
This is the start of a push to getting ResNet running.
This involves throwing in the towel on an O0 pipelinie for now. See note
in the code. We keep an options struct with `optimize` flag, but it
default to true for now.
These tests pass on the reference backend.
- Add aten.linear op + shape xfer function + ATen->Linalg lowering.
- Note: this needs to be more automated, and needs to cover more cases.
- Current not implemented caveats:
- size-1 broadcasting for bias vector (either static-size-1 or ? case)
- higher-rank aten.linear ops (not produced by torch.nn.Linear though)
- type promotion (still don't even know the exact rules here)
- Add folder for torch.derefine op. Now the inliner can clean it up as
it inlines. (call boundaries are a main place we need to insert
torch.derefine) This is brittle -- the other important case is control
flow which will need to be handled via an extension to
RefineTypes.cpp (as will more robust call handling). River has an
in-flight patch to update it to the new dataflow framework so I didn't
want to do anything intrusive here.
- Also adjust torch.derefine syntax to use the keyword `to` instead of
`->`, as most type-only, cast-like ops do.
This inlines global slots if possible. This allows them to participate
in folding, canonicalization, shape inference, etc.
Example use cases:
- inlining weights and biases that are readonly during inference
- inlining the "training" bool to allow stuff to fold away
For training use cases (especially internal training loop), we will need
something smarter to get good performance. That would look like an "SSA
formation" which promotes the global slots to tensors in the program,
flushing them back to the slots at the minimal number of necessary
places. We might want to let backends do that transformation though.
This also interacts with shape inference (type bounds on the slots to
even lower them to backends in the first place).
- 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.
This is our first op with error semantics, and stresses the system.
There are a few design notes of special interest:
- RefineTypes.cpp's note about shape inference in the presence of code
that dynamically produces and error, and it is provable statically.
- ATenToLinalg.cpp's notes about future automation of the ATen->linalg
path.
- The notes in Passes.td about using low-tech `std.assert` ops instead
of `shape.assuming`.
Note: Doesn't work on IREE yet due to the `std.assert` op (needs to be
lowered to `vm.fail` on the IREE side).
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 pass allows shape information to be propagated to return types,
which is nontrivial and cannot be cleanly put anywhere else as it
changes the public ABI, which is a concern that we want to keep
concentrated in one place.
Currently implemented as a simple intraprocedural dataflow analysis over
a standard ShapedType lattice (hasRank, sizes, and elementType).
It currently hardcodes a few key pieces of information:
- shape transfer functions
- whether it is legal to update the operand type of an op
This needs to be made pluggable obviously and the core propagation logic
moved somewhere agnostic.
The current implementation is just sufficient to do a unary aten.tanh
from the e2e spike, and just applies some local rewrite patterns. I've
sketched out the more full explanation of where this pass eventually
need to go in the pass docs.
Adding this required adding `numpy.tensor_static_info_cast`, which is
the tensor analog of `numpy.static_info_cast`. This op encapsulates the
same numpy-specific "no runtime code" casting semantics, in particular
the interpretation of `!numpy.any_dtype`. The
`numpy.tensor_static_info_cast` I see in practice now are "information
erasing" and will be removed by a later pass that exploits the fact that
aten ops are agnostic to the static info in the operand types (so
substituting a type with more static info is fine).
Side note: we *need* to do dtype and rank inference before aten->tcf
(which will eventually mostly be aten->linalg+guards), because each aten
op is idiosyncratically overloaded based on dtype and rank. Without
copying that idiosyncratic overloading into lower layers (layering
violation), we cannot really lower it to anything until we do that.
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.
These allow users to annotate a known "type bound" on the argument,
which can seed shape/dtype inference. We don't rewrite the function
types as part of the import process (it will happen in a
yet-to-be-written pass) because:
1. We would need to interprocedurally rewrite all calls to keep the IR
consistent. Currently, we have a place after GlobalizeObjectGraph but
before we convert to tensors where this is convenient to do. Ideally,
we would do this on the object graph representation.
1. We don't necessarily know that adjusting the function type is a legal
calling convention change. The pass will have blessed knowledge (by
the pass pipeline author) that adjusting the argument type based on
the type bound is safe (which it frequently is).
2. Note that in principle, a type bound could be a fairly general thing
(such as maximum sizes of dimensions, unions of multiple concrete
types, etc.). The pass will in principle have logic to interpret the
type bounds and to determine a suitable "best" (and legal) argument
type.
- renames of OwningRewritePatternList -> RewritePatternSet
- also `insert` to `add`
- RewritePatternSet holds a context now
- memref dialect split from std
* Adds f32 scalar argument support across the ABI boundary.
* Adds support for passing input type / shape information
across the ABI boundary
* Adds support for parsing / creating input FloatAttr's in
`npcomp-run-mlir`
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.
We should generally be using torch_signature_ods_gen.py for generating
these. Somehow this one slipped through manually.
There is no `aten::conv2d_overridable` in the op registry AFAICT so I
removed that alias.
* Import ATen conv2d conversion and test
This is a first attempt at expanding ATen-to-TCF conversion for the
conv2d operator. Eventually, this will come in use when lowering a
high-level conv-based model.
This happens in practice with e.g. ResNet from torchvision (multiple
instances of the same BatchNorm class).
The key observation is that for this program, and the expected set of
programs, we can convert the program to the same globalized form with a
bit more static analysis and effort to suitably monomorphize the
program. Though what we are doing here is fairly annoying to implement,
it saves any nontrivial later pass from having to do similar analyses
(or worse). E.g. shape inference would need to be object-graph aware,
mutation/lifetime analyses would have to be aware, etc. Additionally, it
would make us front-load what it means to have a !torch.nn.Module type
on an ABI boundary, which we are just not ready to handle.
I'm really, really hoping that in practice we can get away with
this, otherwise it's going to be really rough designing a representation
(and implementing everything to back it) that is convenient to transform
and gracefully scales from full object graph (in the most dynamic case)
down to a fixed set of global slots like we have here (in the most
static case, which we presume a lot of practical programs fall into).
This also involved introducing a
`torch-prepare-for-globalize-object-graph` pass that does a minimal set of
lowerings to simplify the IR into a more orthogonal and analyzable form,
and a `torch-globalize-pipeline` helper.
Recommended review order:
- updated documentation in Passes.td
- new tests in `globalize-object-graph-multiple-instances*.mlir`
- implementation of GlobalizeObjectGraph.cpp
- PrepareForGlobalizeObjectGraph.cpp + prepare-for-globalize-object-graph.mlir
- misc stuff like torch-globalize-pipeline pipeline definition.
With this, we can import, globalize, and inline resnet18 from
torchvision:

In terms of IR structure, TorchScript allows types to vary in many
circumstances where MLIR requires pointer-identical types. In particular,
it is valid to pass any subtype in place of a type. For example, if an
`Optional[int]` is required somewhere in the IR, it is legal to pass a
value of just `int` (but not the other way around; see
`torch.prim.unchecked_cast`). In effect, every *use* can have a different
type.
We introduce a new op `torch.derefine` that models that impedance
mismatch. This op allows casting a value from one type to a type that it
is a subtype of to model this behavior.
Recommended review order:
- TorchOps.td for new torch.derefine (and updated docs for
`torch.prim.unchecked_cast`)
- new test code in if.py, loop.py, function-derefine.py
- new code in node_importer.cpp for handling derefinement insertion
- function_importer.cpp and utils changes in torch_to_mlir_utils.cpp
Properly handling derefinement on function boundaries required
relayering the code so that graph_importer.cpp/.h is now
function_importer.cpp/.h because only the `torch::jit::Function`
(actually the `c10::FunctionSchema` it holds) knows the derefined types that are
actually needed at the boundary (see `function-derefine.py` for a test).
Annoyingly, this churns all the functions which are now prefixed with
`__torch__.` but that is more correct anyway (that is their linkage name
in the `torch::jit::CompilationUnit`; the previous `mb.import_function`
was actually buggy in the case of functions calling each other as it
would reference their unqualified name).
With this change, we can import `resnet18` from `torchvision` :)
IR: https://gist.github.com/silvasean/6426a5272d8a6c7caae533fce05ab704
I could not find a corresponding ListIndex in prim, which seems to
translate to a __get_attr__ under the hood. I think the reason a tuple
Index op can exist is because Tuple's are supposed to be frozen, where
List operands can be mutable.
This arises when casting optionals, which happens a lot especially
around handling of default arguments (python `if arg is None` idiom).
In this case, the offending code for the model is in max_pool2d:
[code link](b3bf08e67f/torch/nn/functional.py (L657))
Used by resnet18.
It seems to originate from a helper `_verify_batch_size`:
[code link](b3bf08e67f/torch/nn/functional.py (L2099)).
I couldn't find a way to test `prim::RaiseException` without also having
`prim::Uninitialized`.
This is a much simpler representation than the ad-hoc initializer
function we had before. It is also less general, but given the rationale
in Passes.td it seems like the right tradeoff right now.
We can probably carry this representation for quite a while, and when we
can't, it likely means that TorchScript has fixed their object identity
bug and we probably need to just upgrade to a more general object graph
modeling (more general than GlobalizeObjectGraph).
In particular, we don't want to deal with defining and carrying around
this initializer function concept until we need it. For example, if we
want to constant-fold the global slots into uses, this is a much better
representation, and it plays better with symbol-dce (the initializer
function counts as a "use" of the symbol).
(the alternative would have been to write a pass that converts the
initializer function to this form when possible, but I realized that
lots of information had been lost which made that fairly annoying -- it
was all self-inflicted anyway, so best to just go to the source
(GlobalizeObjectGraph) before the information is lost)
Now symbol-dce works nicely (no more "training" bools)
```
pt_util ~/tmp/classifier.pt --import --exported-name forward \
| npcomp-opt -torch-globalize-object-graph -inline -symbol-dce
```
IR: https://gist.github.com/silvasean/8abe63d70d24e29d6db9170ccc8d512b
With this, we can import BERT!
```
pt_util ~/tmp/bert.pt --import --exported-name=forward \
| npcomp-opt -torch-globalize-object-graph -inline -symbol-dce
```
https://gist.github.com/silvasean/fe7735ff5d065cc9216f7b0346d0e977
The test case here is a bit unconventional -- it isn't actually valid
Python. To figure out how to generate it I had to go search the PyTorch
codebase for "NumToTensor" and work backward. In this case I found
this
[code](649760e5f1/torch/csrc/jit/frontend/ir_emitter.cpp (L464))
which via a wild guess I was able to turn into a test case.
In this case it didn't take me too long, but when doing this kind of
"add a bunch of trivial stuff to bring up a real model", I'm starting to
think that we might skimp on test cases when it's fairly trivial and not
obvious how to test with a small test.
Adds support for lowering a torch.nn.Conv2d module to the Torch Dialect through TorchScript import.
Generated IR can be viewed here:
https://gist.github.com/brycearden/6c0f790115c4577249372ef82768e6fd
Required implementing support for tuple in the ivalue importer and list in the node importer.
The first use case is to annotate certain program constructs as either
exported or private. In this commit we plumb it down to
GlobalizeObjectGraph which makes use of this information.
Recommended review order:
1. class_annotator.h/.cpp + `test/module_import/annotations/*`
- New abstractions to communicate with Python code and annotate.
2. IR changes in TorchOps.td
- Adding "private" attribute to various things.
3. ivalue_import.cpp changes
- Module + ClassAnnotator = annotated IR
4. GlobalizeObjectGraph.cpp + tests
- use new "private" attributes to create "private" IR.
- also, tweak some of the op deleting mechanics, which was triggering
some memory errors / assertions
With this, we can run the classifier through and inline it as follows:
```
frontends/pytorch/utils/pt_util.py --import --exported-name forward ~/tmp/classifier.pt \
| npcomp-opt -torch-globalize-object-graph -inline
```
IR: https://gist.github.com/silvasean/32dcad9f6270557f412094a77cecdd69
This required restructuring of how we model TorchScript on import. The
main difference is that now we split out a `torch.class_type` that holds
methods and declarations of the types of each slot. This is more
consistent with TorchScript (our previous representation was
"denormalized").
Recommended reading order:
1. check out the description of `torch.class_type` in `TorchOps.td` and
look at `test/Dialect/Torch/ops.mlir` and
`frontends/pytorch/test/module_import/` to familiarize with the new
representation.
- Just look at the new IR. The diff between the old names and new
names is confusing.
2. check out `test/Dialect/Torch/globalize-object-graph*.mlir`
and read along with the pass description in
`include/npcomp/Dialect/Torch/Transforms/Passes.td`
3. Read the code in `GlobalizeObjectGraph.cpp` and miscellaneous changes
in `ivalue_importer.cpp`, `TorchOps.cpp`, etc.
This required some invasive surgery to graph_importer.h/cpp,
specifically moving most of it into node_importer.h/cpp and relayering
it. The abstraction that it had didn't work well in the recursive
setting that happens with prim::If.
The key observation is that torch::jit::Graph doesn't really correspond
directly to anything on the MLIR side. It's a weird combination of a
context, builder, and function and just holds a `torch::jit::Block`. It
is `torch::jit::Node` and `torch::jit::Block` which form the recursive
structure analogous to MLIR's operation/region/block. So
node_importer.h/cpp makes sense as a core building block.
As part of doing this, I did venture a bit into the AcapController code,
and realize now that there is functionality duplicated there with the
ivalue importer. Will refactor that soon.
