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.
- torch.aten.flatten.using_ints to linalg lowering
- torch.aten.max_pool2d to linalg lowering
- Support torch.aten.conv2d for more flexible dilation and strides values
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.
* Added additional *ToLLVM conversion patterns (they were disaggregated from standard).
* Misc renames.
* Spelling change on ConvNCHW op, and it now expects strides and dilations attributes.
- 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
1. Added a simplified version of torch.aten.batch_norm which only handles
inference and assumes the weight, bias, running_mean, running_var are not
None.
2. Removed the primitive types check in verifyLinalgCompatibleTypes check
since now we have proper type converter to handle torch types conversion.
The checks for RankedTensorType is kept because the type converter
doesn't guarantee the converted builtin tensor type is ranked. A
separate verification pass to verify the invariant expected by later
passes will need to be added before those can be removed as well.
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 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.
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 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.
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.
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 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).
- renames of OwningRewritePatternList -> RewritePatternSet
- also `insert` to `add`
- RewritePatternSet holds a context now
- memref dialect split from std
* 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.
- TensorFromElementsOp -> tensor::FromElementsOp
- `cmpi "eq", ...` -> `cmpi eq, ...`. Same for `cmpf`
- syntax change for private func ops
- some changes to the python bindings
Changes:
- linalg init tensor change (outs+init -> just outs)
- IntegerType::get and other builtin types now take the context as the
first arg
- LLVMType::* is gone. Now LLVM Types are just regular Type's.
* Going through TODOs on the PyTorch side, this is a big cause of them (not being able to have constants for signed/unsigned).
* Added complex while in here since we're at the phase where it is better to just have things complete than partially done.
* Organizes the BasicPyOps.td file by function.
* Renamed `to_boolean` -> `as_predicate_value` (trying to consistently use "predicate" to refer to i1/low-level types and Bool/Boolean to refer to Python bool types).
Note that unlike aten.matmul which has dynamic behavior
depending on the argument ranks (can do matrix-matrix, matrix-vector,
batch matmul, etc.), aten.mm is just a vanilla matrix
multiply, which can be lowered precisely to tcf.matmul.
The "test" is really just an example that I stared at while getting my
feet wet with this. We probably want something that actually tests this
as part of `ninja check-npcomp`.
* 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.
This involved adding a `tcp.splatted` op to splat a dynamically sized
init tensor. See rationale in TCPOps.td docs.
One interesting observation is that when lowering tcf.matmul to
linalg.matmul, we need to both 1) create the error checks and 2)
calculate a shape transfer function to create the init tensors.
Previously, 2) was deferred to bufferizing tcp.matmul later. I'm not
sure if this is a conflation of concerns or not. For now, it's not a big
burden.
* Conversions are very simple, suporting mul, maximum and add (alpha=1 only).
* Example added with pass pipeline needed to run.
* Much missing off of the golden path but sufficient for such simple cases.
Register the following for the multiply op:
- tcf.mul
- tcp.mul
- TCP->TCP lowering
- Shape transfer, broadcasted multiplicands
- Lower to standard `MulFOp` op
* 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.
This cleans up the lowering pipeline to easily allow extending to
multiple binary ops. It looks fairly repetitive at multiple levels, but
I don't want to prematurely generalize. I think that in principle we
could derive a large swatch of TCF + TCP from a single linalg-style
specification. Another direction is to use an OpInterface (something
like "buildLinalgGenericBody"). I'm keeping my eye on it.
In a subsequent commit, I'll mechanically add a set of binary ops
modeled off of the std arithmetic ops.
