- Unifying several interfaces with different types to a single one, e.g.
`fsub_ru` and `dsub_ru` -> `sub_ru`;
- Minor bug fix: `fast_pow` is incorrectly classified into the `pow`
interface, of which arguments are the same as `powf`;
- Explicit interfaces for casting functions, e.g. decoupling
`ll2float_ru` to `ll2float_ru` and `ull2float_ru`;
- Removing interfaces that are not in NVIDIA's official documents, e.g.
`fmaf_ieee_rn`, which is confusing together with `fmaf_rn`.
Note that this PR for the master branch is different from #829, which is
for the MLIR branch.
This PR adds several optimization capabilities in the compiler backend:
- Now using inline PTX for `tl.store`, making it possible to use things like evict_last
- For A100, mma layout can be directly converted to shared memory
- For A100, an additional "transpose" argument in `dot` allows tensors to be loaded once and used both row- and col- major.
- Fixed liveness analysis; this was broken.
- Now can load/store directly mma layout without converting. Useful for when tl.dot accumulator is initialized with DRAM data inside of an inner loop.
- `tl.dot` can now take LHS inputs in registers when it comes from a previous `tl.dot` instruction. Useful for e.g. fused attention.
This is a more stable commit that produce bitwise identical code to earlier
versions. Using commits after this one may lead to slightly different numerics
I've been using this locally to find errors without running tests, and now that we're using autopep8, it passes with minimal suppressions. This is also what turned up the issues with the tutorials, which were fixed in #422.
- Fix meta-parameter usage on tutorials.
- Install tutorial dependencies on CI.
- Switch from `requirements-test.txt` to `extras_require` for test dependencies, and also use it for tutorial dependencies.
- Make some performance tests deterministic.
Run:
```
isort ./python
autopep8 -i --ignore E501,E701,E731 $(find ./python/ -name '*.py')
```
with an `.isort.cfg` and then clean up a few warts. This PR should be a no-op; the idea is that this is all boring whitespace changes, and any config file changes will be in a different change to make it easier to review.
- Removed driver module -- accelerator runtime is handled by pytorch
- Added basic support for ROCM based on @micmelesse 's PR -- now can execute empty kernel on AMD devices without any compile-time changes
- Now only using PREFER_SHARED for kernels when the size of shared memory is greater than 49k. Otherwise there can be poor L1 performance for broadcast tensors
- Added docstr for autotune, Config, heuristics
- Added docstr for atomics
- Hiding internal _builder argument used for built-in language primitives
- Re-factor docstr to use common templates between similar functions.
