* Adds a new to_boolean op to evaluate a value as a truthy i1 * Uses cascading scf.if ops to properly evaluate and/or sequences (short-circuit and original value returning) * Adds a helper to construct select ops and uses it to implement 'not' |

npcomp - An aspirational MLIR based numpy compiler
This is a research prototype of MLIR dialects for representing numpy programs, and a set of reference tracing/compiler tools. The primary purpose at this point is to establish a solid modeling of restricted Python programs and Numpy based computations in MLIR. While this project will provide some reference implementations to prove the design, the intention is to align this with the broader set of tools that exist at this level of abstraction.
Design Notes
As I work through things, I've been jotting down some design notes:
- Type Extraction - April 15, 2020
- Ufunc modeling Part 1 - April 29, 2020
- Array funcs and op granularity - May 5, 2020
- AST Extraction - June 6, 2020
Quick start
LLVM_VERSION=10
export CC=clang-$LLVM_VERSION
export CXX=clang++-$LLVM_VERSION
export LDFLAGS=-fuse-ld=$(which ld.lld-$LLVM_VERSION)
export LLVM_SRC_DIR=/path/to/llvm-project
# Check out last known good commit.
(cd $LLVM_SRC_DIR && git checkout 232d348c6eff8493fc016b1ea8a99db0e5620d81)
./tools/install_mlir.sh
./tools/cmake_configure.sh
# ./tools/test_all.sh runs all of these commands.
cd build
ninja
ninja check-npcomp
# Note: currently, python tests run separately
./python/run_tests.py
Interactive Use
The cmake configuration populates symlinks in the build/python directory
mirroring the source layout. This allows edit-run without rebuilding (unless
if files are added/removed).
Configuring the PYTHONPATH should be sufficient to run any interactive
tooling (python3, Jupyter/Colab, etc).
export PYTHONPATH="$(realpath build/python):$(realpath build/python_native)"
The run_tests.py script is special in that it sets up the PYTHONPATH
correctly when run.
Note that running the cmake_configure.sh script will also output a .env
file in the workspace folder with the correct PYTHONPATH set. This allows
tools like VSCode to work by default for debugging.
Things to look at:
python/npcomp/tracing/mlir_trace_test.py: Simple test case of tracing a function to an MLIR module.
Notes:
- Python sources are symlinked to the output directory at configure time. Adding sources will require a reconfigure. Editing should not.
- It is a very common issue to have both python 2.7 (aka. "python") and python 3.x (aka. "python3") on a system at a time (and we can only hope that one day this ends). Since the native library at development time binds to a specific version, if you try to run with a different python, you will get an error about the "native" module not being found.
Compiler development
For bash users, adding the following to your .bashrc defines some aliases
that are useful during compiler development, such as shortcuts for builing
and running npcomp-opt.
