we want to wrap CStructs in RustStructs to own them, and free memeory
when they are no longer used. Users won't have to deal with the direct
binded CAPI, but the new wrappers
This adds a new option `--unroll-loops-with-sdfg-convertible-ops`,
which causes loops containing SDFG-convertible operations to be fully
unrolled upon the extraction of SDFG-operations using the
`--emit-sdfg-ops` switch. This avoids constant roundtrips between an
SDFG-capable accelerator and the host during execution of a loop.
The option is limited to `scf.for` loops with static bounds and a
static step size. Since full unrolling of loops with large bounds
results in a large number of operations, the option is disabled by
default.
This adds a new pass `ExtractSDGOps`, which scans a function for
operations that implement `SDFGConvertibleOpInterface`, replaces them
with SDFG processes and constructs an SDFG graph around the processes.
Initialization and teardown of the SDFG graph are embedded into the
function and take place at the beginning of the function and before
the function's terminator, respectively.
The pass can be invoked using concretecompiler by specifying the new
compilation option `--emit-sdfg-ops` or programmatically on a
`CompilerEngine` using the new compilation option `extractSDFGOps`.
This adds a new operation interface `SDFGConvertibleOpInterface` that
allows an operation to specify how it is converted to an SDFG
process. The interface consists of a single method `convert` that
receives as the arguments the DFG created using `SDFG.init`, a set of
SDFG input streams corresponding to the operands and a set of output
streams for results. The order of the input and output streams
corresponds to the order of the operands and output values,
respectively.
This adds a new dialect called "SDFG" for data flow graphs. An SDFG
data flow graph is composed of a set of processes, connected through
data streams. Special streams allow for data to be injected into and
to be retrieved from the data flow graph.
The dialect is intended to be lowered to API calls that allow for
offloading of the graph on hardware accelerators.
C struct now contains an additonal char* pointer, which can be either
NULL in case there is no error, or a buffer containing the error
message. It's the responsability of destructor function to free that
memory.
CAPI covering a wider API of the Support library.
Better error handling. Could also be improved by returning an error
message back from C to rust (left TODO).
- Missing offset in woppbs routine
- Better error message for check of tensor result in end to end fixture
- Modify fixture generator for testing purpose
current CAPI of CompilerEngine isn't really a CAPI. It's initial need
was for the python bindings to have access to the CompilerEngine through
a convenient API. So we now make a clear separation of CAPI and python
wrappers. So we now have wrappers functions, that can be implemented
using C/C++, and will be exposed to python via pybind11. And we have a
CAPI (still need fixing as it still contains C++ code), that can be used
as is, or to build bindings for other languages (such as Rust).
