'stream' Dialectlink

A dialect designed to model execution partitioning and scheduling.

The stream dialect is designed to take tensor programs and convert them to explicitly scheduled asynchronous programs. This includes placing ops on specific targets, partitioning the work between the targets, scheduling the work for concurrency, and encoding tensors into target-specific resources.

+--------+    +----------+    +-------+
| flow.* | -> | stream.* | -> | hal.* |
+--------+    +----------+    +-------+

This sits in-between the flow and hal dialects.

  • flow models tensor programs by separating work into dispatchable functions in order to isolate the main host program data flow and the dense tensor compute operations.

  • stream models explicitly scheduled asynchronous programs by partitioning the dispatchable work, specifying target affinities, encoding tensors into target-specific forms, and scheduling the work to run concurrently.

  • hal models a low-level hardware abstraction layer used to manage buffers and issue asynchronous work across a variety of device types. The dialect is largely 1:1 with the IREE HAL C API.

Transforms in the dialect lower tensor values into opaque resources with the goal of ensuring no tensors survive in the IR. At entry stream.tensor.* ops are used to capture the source tensor encoding information (data type, shapes, etc) and then lowered into stream.async.* ops that model the asynchronous workloads on the opaque resources. The asynchronous operations are then partitioned, allocated, and scheduled for execution using the stream.cmd.* ops.

It's intended that after transformation through the stream dialect the program is ready for execution on an abstract machine. At this level of representation buffers have still not been allocated and devices are not yet resolved, however the information captured in the stream IR allows such operations to be done trivially. To this end all ops carry the symbolic size of the resources on which they operate as well as the lifetime of the resources they are acting upon. This manifests in the usage of the !stream.resource type:

// Unresolved lifetime (resolved during the iree-stream-refine-usage pass):
!stream.resource<*>
// An externally managed value (passed in via the program API).
!stream.resource<external>
// A staging buffer for uploads/downloads.
!stream.resource<staging>
// A short-lived value that is used across streams.
!stream.resource<transient>
// A long-lived value that persists across streams in globals.
!stream.resource<variable>
// An immutable value that persists for the duration of the program.
!stream.resource<constant>

Operations using resources carry the size of all operand result resources:

// %update (40 bytes) is being inserted into %target (296 bytes).
// Can be dynamic values such as those originating from dynamic dimensions.
%13 = stream.async.update %update, %target[%c256 to %c296] :
    !stream.resource<transient>{%c40} ->
    %target as !stream.resource<transient>{%c296}

Once all stream.async.* work is moved into executable regions (such as stream.async.execute) !stream.timepoint values are used to sequence the execution. These timepoints represent some point in time where all execution up to that timepoint has completed and any results that were produced by the execution are available for use. Attempting to use the resources before their corresponding timepoint has been reached will lead to undefined behavior. The benefit of this is that after timepoints are established in the IR it's possible to induce aliasing of resources without breaking execution correctness.

stream.async.call (Stream::AsyncCallOp)link

Calls a streamable external host function

Syntax:

operation ::= `stream.async.call` (`on` `(` $affinity^ `)`)?
              $callee ``
              custom<DispatchOperands>($resource_operands,
              $resource_operand_offsets,
              $resource_operand_ends,
              $resource_operand_lengths) attr-dict `:`
              custom<ShapedFunctionType>(ref($resource_operands),
              type($resource_operands), $resource_operand_sizes,
              type($results), $result_sizes,
              $tied_operands)

Calls a function taking/returning resource values with stream semantics. Asynchronous calls must have no side-effects.

Note that returned resources must have their sizes declared prior to the call as this is what allows the call to be made on the stream. If external host logic is required to compute the size (avoid at all costs!) a separate func.call can be used outside of the stream to do so. If sizes are unknownable until the operation is performed it should be made as a normal asynchronous host call with 'coarse-fences' instead.

              `with` ``
              custom<ResourceRegion>($resource_operands,

              attr-dict-with-keyword

Represents a wave of work scheduled concurrently (each op executing at the same time). All resource inputs must be captured explicitly. All results are only ready once all nested ops complete execution.

Waves can be nested to create a DAG. For example, take the following graph:

                  |
        v---------+---------v
+-------|-------+   +-------|-------+
|    v--+--v    |   |    v--+--v    |

stream.async.execute (Stream::AsyncExecuteOp)link

Executes a dependency-aware sequence of streamable ops

Syntax:

              `=` `` `>` type($result_timepoint)
              attr-dict-with-keyword

Evaluates the operations within the region by dependency order while obeying ties when present. Nested ops execute serially in block order and nested stream.async.concurrent ops can be used to run multiple ops concurrently within the stream. All resource inputs must be captured explicitly. All results are only ready once all nested ops complete execution and the returned timepoint is reached. Zero or more timepoints may be provided to block execution until they are all reached; zero timepoints indicates that execution may begin immediately.

Syntax:

operation ::= `stream.dispatch.workgroup.size` `[` $dimension `]` attr-dict `:` type($result)

The number of local invocations within the current workgroup along each dimension. Depending on backend this may map to the SIMT thread count or inner loop nest parameters.

Workgroup sizes are not determined at the stream dialect level as they are dependent on the target backend determined when lowering into the HAL. It's still possible to use the symbolic workgroup size inside of dispatch executables as a placeholder for the resolved value once in the HAL.

Represented as a 3D grid classically written as XYZ. Corresponds to the WorkgroupSize SPIR-V built-in and the blockDim CUDA built-in variable.

WIP; allows for accessing the implementation details of lower-level dialects such as the HAL. This will likely be reworked in the future to either live inside other dialects, use some op interface instead of having a dedicated op here, or remove the op entirely and make resolution happen explicitly.

Examples:

// Returns a HAL device.

// Returns a HAL device and (optional) queue affinity.

Evaluates the operations within the region by dependency order while obeying ties when present. Nested ops execute serially in block order and nested stream.cmd.concurrent ops can be used to run multiple ops concurrently within the stream. All resource inputs must be captured explicitly. All results are only ready once all nested ops complete execution and the returned timepoint is reached. Zero or more timepoints may be provided to block execution until they are all reached; zero timepoints indicates that execution may begin immediately.

stream.resource.alloc (Stream::ResourceAllocOp)link

Allocates a persistent resource

Syntax:

              attr-dict `:`
              type($result) `{` $storage_size `}`

Allocates a persistent value (one that is long-lived and possibly external to the program) with undefined contents. Consumers of the allocated result must assume nothing of the contents and use discard access.

Uninitialized allocations will have undefined contents and must only be used when all bytes are discarded prior to any reads. Runtimes decide what "undefined contents" means and here it only indicates that execution will be correct even if the memory starts with non-zero values.

If multiple values are allocated from the same operation it implies that they have matching lifetimes. When lowering to execution environments the separate allocations may be fused into one or more slab allocations in order to reduce overheads. How many allocations can be fused is based on the size of the individual resources and the target constraints (how large any single buffer may be, etc).

Asynchronously uploads or maps constant values

Syntax:

              attr-dict `:`
              custom<ConstantValueList>(type($results),

              $values)
              `\n` ` ` ` ` `=` `` `>` type($result_timepoint)

Represents an upload of constant resources that may be packed, suballocated, and mapped depending on the final lowering target.

In runtime environments where memory is shared between host and device this turns into a mapping operation that avoids additional memory allocation and copies. When memory cannot be shared an asynchronous stream will be created to allocate and copy all of the constant values.

Though this op returns a unique resource for each constant value it's expected that almost all end up aliasing into the same storage. The exact packing and number of storage resources that are needed are not known until lowering to a particular backend, though, so they are separate here for proper usage tracking.

Both constant and variable resources can be produced; a constant is immutable while a variable will be treated as a constant-value initializer for a mutable resource. By modeling these together it's not required that variable initializers first be allocated, copied to the target, and then copied into the variable storage if the target is capable of doing a direct upload or mapping.

              `}` `)`
              `:` type($total_length)
              attr-dict-with-keyword

Performs a greedy packing of one or more sized slices with specified lifetimes and returns their relative offsets in an aliased linear space.

Slices are [start, end] = %slice_byte_size, where the start and end values define an inclusive lifetime range and the size is the total number of bytes required to be live for that range.

// Computes the total length required for the packed values and the offsets
// of the 3 slices requested relative to the base of the packed memory:
%total_length, %offset_0, %offset_1, %offset_2 =
    stream.resource.pack
        // Each slice gets one result offset:
        slices({
          // 3 slices where A and B overlap and will get unique offsets
          // while B and C do not overlap and are allowed to alias.
          [0, 10] = %size_0,  // A => %offset_0
          [3,  8] = %size_1,  // B => %offset_1
          [9, 10] = %size_2,  // C => %offset_2
          ...
        }) : index

The lifetime start and end points (inclusive) are only used for relative comparisons and may originate with any meaning (op order in block, epoch, phase of the moon, etc). The packing algorithm uses the intervals to determine slice liveness and when aliasing is safe.

The size of each slice may either be a constant or runtime-computed dynamic value. Constant slices can achieve more dense packing than the dynamic values and CSE/canonicalization should be applied to ensure that as many of the dynamic values are equivalent if possible.

The total length required to pack all slices is returned and can be used to acquire storage. The individual slice offsets are 0-based and as such if are directly used as buffer offsets may need additional offsetting. This can either be applied via the optional offset operand or slicing of the underlying allocation buffer.

stream.resource.size (Stream::ResourceSizeOp)link

Returns the size of the resource storage in bytes

Syntax:

operation ::= `stream.resource.size` $operand
              attr-dict `:` type($operand)

Returns a possibly runtime-dynamic byte size of the resource backing storage. This may differ from the logical storage size of a value based on the alignment requirements of the target as well as encoding of higher level values such as sparse tensor formats.

              attr-dict-with-keyword

Synchronously maps a host heap buffer into a stream-accessible resource with the requested lifetime. If the given source cannot be mapped the did_map result will be 0 and users must find another route into memory (such as file I/O). The resulting resource is not coherent with the source and behavior is undefined if the underlying contents change.

Though external values are managed during an invocation the same as other stream values the visibility into them does not extend outside of the invocation they are provided to.

Stream values are not usable directly outside of a stream execution or transfer operation. If the contents of the value are needed they must first be transferred via stream.transfer - which may incur a copy.

staging resourcelink

Stream upload/download staging resource. These are used outside of streams and then transferred to other stream resources such as variables or transients for use inside of streams. Dispatches and several other operations cannot directly operate on these resources.

transient resourcelink

Stream transients represent asynchronously-available and sequenced values that have a short lifetime - often only passed between stream executions. It is expected that transient values are not stored in global state and have minimal lifetime as they may be heavily pooled or suballocated.

Stream values are not usable directly outside of a stream execution or transfer operation. If the contents of the value are needed they must first be transferred via stream.transfer - which may incur a copy.

resourcelink

A stream resource that has not yet had its lifetime calculated.

variable resourcelink

Stream variables represent asynchronously-available and sequenced values that have a long lifetime relative to the work being performed on them. These variables are often stored in global state and may live for the entire duration of the program.

Stream values are not usable directly outside of a stream execution or transfer operation. If the contents of the value are needed they must first be transferred via stream.transfer - which may incur a copy.

Typeslink

BindingTypelink

a managed resource binding into an executable scope

Syntax: !stream.binding

A resource binding available within an executable dispatch function. The bindings map 1:1 with the resources bound during dispatch operations.

ChannelTypelink

a collective communication channel

Syntax: !stream.channel

Represents a single participant in a collective clique. Multiple channels may exist within the same program to allow for partial operations or hierarchical operations.

In programs that model SPMD behavior internally channels can be created or provided by hosting applications. For example, the program could expose a @set_channels(!util.list<!stream.channel>) method that stores the channels in globals for use throughout the program allowing for application-controlled channel configuration.

FileTypelink

a file handle used for I/O operations

Syntax: !stream.file

A file handle that can be asynchronously read and written into/from stream resources.

ResourceTypelink

a managed resource

Stream external values represent asynchronously-available and sequenced values that are owned and managed by external code - such as those passed in or out of the program entry points. Though external values are managed during an invocation the same as other stream values the visibility into them does not extend outside of the invocation they are provided to.

Stream values are not usable directly outside of a stream execution or transfer operation. If the contents of the value are needed they must first be transferred via stream.transfer - which may incur a copy.

Parameters:link
Parameter C++ type Description
lifetime IREE::Stream::Lifetime

TimepointTypelink

a timepoint indicating execution availability

Syntax: !stream.timepoint

Represents a point in the execution timeline that when resolved indicates that all of the execution prior to this timepoint has completed and the results of the execution are available for use. This includes transitive dependencies as well; if timepoint B is dependent on timepoint A then when B is available so too must be A.
