A forthcoming PR will update the RNG to use these types.
Also:
- Add tests for the `//`, `<<`, and `>>` operators.
- Change `TensorWrapper` to unwrap objects when the resulting object would be simpler.
- Clean up `throw_unreachable`, since it was triggering compiler warnings.
- `BF16TyID` was missing a repr implementation.
- Throw a better exception on impossible casts.
- Add a few assertions. Tested with a debug build.
- Add `pointer_dtype.__str__` to aid kernel debugging.
Added an additional `repr` argument to the cache hook, which represents a human-readable string representation of the signature and argument attributes associated with the compiled binary.
Significantly improves the performance of `triton.ops.matmul` in memory-bound settings via the use of many more block configs coupled with a performance model to drive the auto-tuning process.
- Fix some whitespace.
- Make an undeclared dependency on `pytest` explicit.
- Fix deprecated `description-file` use.
- `#ifdef` out a deprecated `PyEval_InitThreads` call.
- Use a slightly different numpy invocation in `test_random.py` to quiet down overflow warnings in tests.
- Fix a deprecated cast in `test_core.py`.
- Suppress a warning about `visit_Constant` in Python 3.9+; we can't migrate yet because it'd break Python 3.6 and 3.7.
- Use chained exceptions for `CompilationError` rather than rolling our own; it makes the error messages nicer.
- Add a `__str__` for `tl.dtype` to make debugging kernels easier; it lets you `print` a dtype to see what type was inferred.
- Fix a few bad escapes.
- 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
This PR adds a BF16 data-type, along with FP32 <-> BF16 conversion instructions in the LLVM codegen. Other kinds of ops on bfloat16 are not yet supported.
Improved codegen for the Ampere GPUs.
* Make the layout pass recognize the multistage pipelined pattern.
* Now the pipeline pass can automate the multistage pipelining transformation.
* Remove extra barriers (from the prefetch pass & WAR) on Ampere.
* Update the code generator (generator.cc) to make Triton generate n-buffered shared memory loads/stores.
