# 'RT' Dialect Runtime dialect A dialect for representation the abstraction needed for the runtime. ## Operation definition ### `RT.await_future` (::mlir::concretelang::RT::AwaitFutureOp) Wait for a future and access its data. The results of a dataflow task are always futures which could be further used as inputs to subsequent tasks. When the result of a task is needed in the outer execution context, the result future needs to be synchronized and its data accessed using `RT.await_future`. #### Operands: | Operand | Description | | :-----: | ----------- | | `input` | Future with a parameterized element type #### Results: | Result | Description | | :----: | ----------- | | `output` | any type ### `RT.build_return_ptr_placeholder` (::mlir::concretelang::RT::BuildReturnPtrPlaceholderOp) #### Results: | Result | Description | | :----: | ----------- | | `output` | Pointer to a parameterized element type ### `RT.clone_future` (::mlir::concretelang::RT::CloneFutureOp) Interfaces: AllocationOpInterface, MemoryEffectOpInterface #### Operands: | Operand | Description | | :-----: | ----------- | | `input` | Future with a parameterized element type #### Results: | Result | Description | | :----: | ----------- | | `output` | Future with a parameterized element type ### `RT.create_async_task` (::mlir::concretelang::RT::CreateAsyncTaskOp) Create a dataflow task. #### Attributes: | Attribute | MLIR Type | Description | | :-------: | :-------: | ----------- | | `workfn` | ::mlir::SymbolRefAttr | symbol reference attribute #### Operands: | Operand | Description | | :-----: | ----------- | | `list` | any type ### `RT.dataflow_task` (::mlir::concretelang::RT::DataflowTaskOp) Dataflow task operation `RT.dataflow_task` allows to specify a task that will be concurrently executed when their operands are ready. Operands are either the results of computation in other `RT.dataflow_task` (dataflow dependences) or obtained from the execution context (immediate operands). Operands are synchronized using futures and, in the case of immediate operands, copied when the task is created. Caution is required when the operand is a pointer as no deep copy will occur. Example: ```mlir func @test(%0 : i64): (i64, i64) { // Execute right now as %0 is ready. %1, %2 = "RT.dataflow_task"(%0) ({ %a = addi %0, %0 : i64 %b = muli %0, %0 : i64 "RT.dataflow_yield"(%a, %b) : (i64, i64) -> i64 }) : (i64, i64) -> (i64, i64) // Concurrently execute both tasks below when the task above is completed. %3 = "RT.dataflow_task"(%1) ({ %c = constant 1 : %i64 %a = addi %1, %c : i64 "RT.dataflow_yield"(%a) : (i64, i64) -> i64 }) : (i64, i64) -> (i64, i64) %4 = "RT.dataflow_task"(%2) ({ %c = constant 2 : %i64 %a = addi %2, %c : i64 "RT.dataflow_yield"(%a) : (i64, i64) -> i64 }) : (i64, i64) -> (i64, i64) return %3, %4 : (i64, i64) } ``` Traits: AutomaticAllocationScope, SingleBlockImplicitTerminator Interfaces: AllocationOpInterface, MemoryEffectOpInterface, RegionBranchOpInterface #### Operands: | Operand | Description | | :-----: | ----------- | | `inputs` | any type #### Results: | Result | Description | | :----: | ----------- | | `outputs` | any type ### `RT.dataflow_yield` (::mlir::concretelang::RT::DataflowYieldOp) Dataflow yield operation `RT.dataflow_yield` is a special terminator operation for blocks inside the region in `RT.dataflow_task`. It allows to specify the return values of a `RT.dataflow_task`. Example: ```mlir %0 = constant 1 : i64 %1 = constant 2 : i64 "RT.dataflow_yield" %0, %1 : i64, i64 ``` Traits: ReturnLike, Terminator #### Operands: | Operand | Description | | :-----: | ----------- | | `values` | any type ### `RT.deallocate_future_data` (::mlir::concretelang::RT::DeallocateFutureDataOp) #### Operands: | Operand | Description | | :-----: | ----------- | | `input` | Future with a parameterized element type ### `RT.deallocate_future` (::mlir::concretelang::RT::DeallocateFutureOp) #### Operands: | Operand | Description | | :-----: | ----------- | | `input` | any type ### `RT.deref_return_ptr_placeholder` (::mlir::concretelang::RT::DerefReturnPtrPlaceholderOp) #### Operands: | Operand | Description | | :-----: | ----------- | | `input` | Pointer to a parameterized element type #### Results: | Result | Description | | :----: | ----------- | | `output` | Future with a parameterized element type ### `RT.deref_work_function_argument_ptr_placeholder` (::mlir::concretelang::RT::DerefWorkFunctionArgumentPtrPlaceholderOp) #### Operands: | Operand | Description | | :-----: | ----------- | | `input` | Pointer to a parameterized element type #### Results: | Result | Description | | :----: | ----------- | | `output` | any type ### `RT.make_ready_future` (::mlir::concretelang::RT::MakeReadyFutureOp) Build a ready future. Data passed to dataflow tasks must be encapsulated in futures, including immediate operands. These must be converted into futures using `RT.make_ready_future`. Interfaces: AllocationOpInterface, MemoryEffectOpInterface #### Operands: | Operand | Description | | :-----: | ----------- | | `input` | any type | `memrefCloned` | any type #### Results: | Result | Description | | :----: | ----------- | | `output` | Future with a parameterized element type ### `RT.register_task_work_function` (::mlir::concretelang::RT::RegisterTaskWorkFunctionOp) Register the task work-function with the runtime system. #### Operands: | Operand | Description | | :-----: | ----------- | | `list` | any type ### `RT.work_function_return` (::mlir::concretelang::RT::WorkFunctionReturnOp) #### Operands: | Operand | Description | | :-----: | ----------- | | `in` | any type | `out` | any type ## Type definition ### FutureType Future with a parameterized element type The value of a `!RT.future` type represents the result of an asynchronous operation.
