This PR merges the new runtime back into the `triton-mlir` branch. This
adds caching and just-in-time compilation functionality to the
triton-mlir project, and paves the way for re-using tests from the
master branch.
* Simplified `triton.kernel` API to achieve lower latency:
> .data_ptr() must now be passed as kernel argument. No more implicit
conversion from torch.tensor
> compilation options are now constant attributes, i.e., opt.d('VAR')
becomes opt.VAR
> torch.device must now be passed explicitly to triton.kernel (no
longer inferred from torch.tensor arguments)
* C++ tests moved to `python/tests/`
* C++ tutorial created in `tutorials/`
* Python tutorial created in python/tutorials/
* Version changed to 1.0alpha
* No longer copying C++ headers into the Python package
* added python/triton/ops/ package for pre-written Triton ops
- A100 support via mma.16816
- Thread swizzling for conflict-free shared memory accesses without
padding
- Complete overhaul of the LLVM code generation in
codegen/selection/generator.cc to remove overengineering
- Added debugging capabilities in the Python binding
- Compilation error for kernels that spill
torch-blocksparse package:
* Now using warp shuffle in reductions when possible
* Various bugfixes in layout inference
* Added INFINITY, exponential and select
* Better error messages for unimplemented constructs
