* Forks a subset of my shell functions into docker_shell_funcs.sh, specifically needed to create docker images that run as yourself.
* Extends the readme with the three command bootstrap to get a dev container running.
* Step by step instructions for configuring VSCode for Intellisense in either npcomp or LLVM.
* Changes LLVM config options to enable tests. This setup is now suitable for upstream changes as well without rebuilding.
* 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.
* 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.
* I expect that mlir-hlo will be a non-optional dependency of the project, so adding as a sub-module.
* IREE is an optional dependency and I'm keeping this as an out-of-tree checkout for the moment.
* The script will compute the join across both iree and mlir-hlo to find a common LLVM version.
* The script needs some more work (like a flag that says to update the version, etc). Likely needs more testing through an integrate or two.
This ~totally reworks the existing "runtime" stuff to be more
principled and usable, such as from Python. It's still not fully
production-quality, mainly in the department of memory management (e.g.
it currently leaks memory; we need to figure out "who frees memrefs" +
the analysis and transformation needed to do that (maybe use upstream
buffer allocation pass?)).
The user API is in include/npcomp/runtime/UserAPI.h, though
include/npcomp/JITRuntime/JITModule.h is a friendlier wrapper.
The stuff under {include,lib}/runtime is totally firewalled from the
compiler and tiny (<6kB, though no attention has gone into optimizing
that size). For example, we don't link in libSupport into the runtime,
instead having our own bare bones replacements for basics like ArrayRef
(the JITRuntime helps with bridging that gap, since it *can* depend on
all common LLVM utilities).
The overall features of npcomprt is that it exposes a module that
with multiple function entry points. Each function has arguments and
results that are tensor-valued, and npcomprt::Tensor is the runtime type
that is used to interact with that (and a npcomprt::Ref<T>
reference-counting wrapper is provided to wrap npcomprt::Tensor in the
common case).
From an implementation perspective, an npcomprt module at the
LLVM/object/binary level exposes a single module descriptor struct that
has pointers to other metadata (currently just a list of function
metadata descriptors). All interactions with the npcomp runtime are
keyed off of that module descriptor, including function lookups and
dispatching. This is done to dodge platform ABI issues and also allow
enough reflection to e.g. verify provided arguments.
Most of the compiler-side work here was in LowerToNpcomprtABI and
LowerToLLVM.
Also,
- Rename npcomp_rt/NpcompRt to npcomprt/Npcomprt; it was getting
annoying to type the underscores/caps.
- misc improvements to bash_helpers.sh
* Gets us passed the upstream changes that enable type interfaces.
* Adds the ARM backend due to an implicit IREE dependency sneaking in for that (https://github.com/google/iree/issues/2401)
* Adds explicit TypeStorage to type base classes per upstream change.
