class tvm.tir.Buffer¶

Symbolic data buffer in TVM.

Buffer provide a way to represent data layout specialization of data structure in TVM.

Do not construct directly, use decl_buffer() instead. See the documentation of decl_buffer() for more details.

See also

decl_buffer: Declare a buffer

Methods:

`access_ptr`(access_mask[, ptr_type, …])	Get an access pointer to the head of buffer.
`vload`(begin[, dtype])	Generate an Expr that loads dtype from begin index.
`vstore`(begin, value)	Generate a Stmt that store value into begin index.

access_ptr(access_mask, ptr_type='handle', content_lanes=1, offset=0)¶

Get an access pointer to the head of buffer.

This is the recommended method to get buffer data ptress when interacting with external functions.

Parameters

access_mask (int) – The access pattern MASK. Indicate whether the access will read or write to the data content.
ptr_type (str, optional) – The data type of the result pointer. Do not specify unless we want to cast pointer to specific type.
content_lanes (int, optional) – The number of lanes for the data type. This value is greater than one for vector types.
offset (Expr, optional) – The offset of pointer. We can use it to offset by the number of elements from the address of ptr.

Examples

# Get access ptr for read
buffer.access_ptr("r")
# Get access ptr for read/write with bitmask
buffer.access_ptr(Buffer.READ | Buffer.WRITE)
# Get access ptr for read/write with str flag
buffer.access_ptr("rw")
# Get access ptr for read with offset
buffer.access_ptr("r", offset = 100)

vload(begin, dtype=None)¶

Generate an Expr that loads dtype from begin index.

Parameters

begin (Array of Expr) – The beginning index in unit of Buffer.dtype
dtype (str) – The data type to be loaded, can be vector type which have lanes that is multiple of Buffer.dtype

Returns

load – The corresponding load expression.

Return type

Expr

vstore(begin, value)¶

Generate a Stmt that store value into begin index.

Parameters

begin (Array of Expr) – The beginning index in unit of Buffer.dtype
value (Expr) – The value to be stored.

Returns

store – The corresponding store stmt.

Return type

Stmt

tvm.tir.decl_buffer(shape, dtype=None, name='buffer', data=None, strides=None, elem_offset=None, scope='', data_alignment=- 1, offset_factor=0, buffer_type='', span=None)¶

Declare a new symbolic buffer.

Normally buffer is created automatically during lower and build. This is only needed if user want to specify their own buffer layout.

See the note below for detailed discussion on usage of buffer.

Parameters

shape (tuple of Expr) – The shape of the buffer.
dtype (str, optional) – The data type of the buffer.
name (str, optional) – The name of the buffer.
data (Var, optional) – The data pointer in the buffer.
strides (array of Expr) – The stride of the buffer.
elem_offset (Expr, optional) – The beginning offset of the array to data. In terms of number of elements of dtype.
scope (str, optional) – The storage scope of the buffer, if not global. If scope equals empty string, it means it is global memory.
data_alignment (int, optional) – The alignment of data pointer in bytes. If -1 is passed, the alignment will be set to TVM’s internal default.
offset_factor (int, optional) – The factor of elem_offset field, when set, elem_offset is required to be multiple of offset_factor. If 0 is pssed, the alignment will be set to 1. if non-zero is passed, we will created a Var for elem_offset if elem_offset is not None.
buffer_type (str, optional, {"", "auto_broadcast"}) – auto_broadcast buffer allows one to implement broadcast computation without considering whether dimension size equals to one. TVM maps buffer[i][j][k] -> buffer[i][0][k] if dimension j’s shape equals 1.
span (Optional[Span]) – The location of the decl_buffer creation in the source.

Returns

buffer – The created buffer

Return type

Buffer

Example

Here’s an example of how broadcast buffer can be used to define a symbolic broadcast operation,

m0, m1, m2 = te.var("m0"), te.var("m1"), te.var("m2")
n0, n1, n2 = te.var("n0"), te.var("n1"), te.var("n2")
o0, o1, o2 = te.var("o0"), te.var("o1"), te.var("o2")
A = te.placeholder((m0, m1, m2), name='A')
B = te.placeholder((n0, n1, n2), name='B')
C = te.compute((o0, o1, o2), lambda i, j, k: A[i, j, k] + B[i, j, k], name='C')
Ab = tvm.tir.decl_buffer(A.shape, A.dtype, name="Ab", buffer_type="auto_broadcast")
Bb = tvm.tir.decl_buffer(B.shape, B.dtype, name="Bb", buffer_type="auto_broadcast")
s = te.create_schedule(C.op)
fadd = tvm.build(s, [A, B, C], target='llvm', name='bcast_add', binds={A:Ab, B:Bb})
ctx = tvm.cpu(0)
a = tvm.nd.array(np.random.uniform(size=(2, 4, 3)).astype(A.dtype), ctx)
b = tvm.nd.array(np.random.uniform(size=(2, 1, 3)).astype(B.dtype), ctx)
c = tvm.nd.array(np.zeros((2, 4, 3), dtype=C.dtype), ctx)
fadd(a, b, c)
tvm.testing.assert_allclose(c.asnumpy(), a.asnumpy() + b.asnumpy())

Note

Buffer data structure reflects the DLTensor structure in dlpack. While DLTensor data structure is very general, it is usually helpful to create function that only handles specific case of data structure and make compiled function benefit from it.

If user pass strides and elem_offset is passed as None when constructing the function, then the function will be specialized for the DLTensor that is compact and aligned. If user pass a fully generic symbolic array to the strides, then the resulting function becomes fully generic.

Classes:

PrimFuncPass

A pass that works on each tvm.tir.PrimFunc() in a module.

tvm.tir.transform.prim_func_pass(pass_func=None, opt_level=None, name=None, required=None)¶

Decorate a function pass.

This function returns a callback when pass_func is provided. Otherwise, it returns the created function pass using the given optimization function.

Parameters

pass_func (Optional[Callable[(PrimFunc, IRModule, PassContext) -> PrimFunc]]) – The transformation function or class.
opt_level (int) – The optimization level of this module pass.
name (Optional[str]) – The name of the function pass. The name could be empty. In this case, the name of the optimization function will be used as the pass name.
required (Optional[List[str]]) – The list of passes that the function pass is dependent on.

Returns

create_function_pass – A decorator will be returned if pass_func is not provided, otherwise return the decorated result. The returned decorator has two behaviors depending on the input: A new FunctionPass will be returned when we decorate a pass function. A new FunctionPass class will be returned when we decorate a class type.

Return type

Union[Callable, FunctionPass]

Examples

The following code block decorates a function pass class.

@tvm.tir.transform.prim_func_pass(opt_level=1)
class TestReplaceFunc:
    def __init__(self, new_func):
        self.new_func = new_func

    def transform_function(self, func, mod, ctx):
        # just for demo purposes
        # transform func to new_func
        return self.new_func

The following code creates a function pass by decorating a user defined transform function.

@tvm.tir.transform.prim_func_pass(opt_level=2)
def transform(func, mod, ctx):
    # my transformations here.
    return func

function_pass = transform
assert isinstance(function_pass, transform.FunctionPass)
assert function_pass.info.opt_level == 2

# Given a module m, the optimization could be invoked as the follwoing:
updated_mod = function_pass(m)
# Now constant folding should have been applied to every function in
# the provided module m. And the updated module will be returned.

`verify_ssa`(func)	Verify if the func is in SSA form.

tvm.tir.analysis.expr_deep_equal(lhs, rhs)¶

Deeply compare two nested expressions.

Parameters

lhs (PrimExpr) – The left operand.
rhs (PrimExpr) – The right operand.

Returns

result – The comparison result

Return type

bool

Note

This function does not remap variable bindings, it will not return true for (let x = 1 in x + 1) vs (let y = 1 in y + 1), unless x.same_as(y). Use py:func:tvm.ir.structural_equal to handle structural variable remapping.

Due to the restriction of not remapping variables, this function can run faster than StructuralEqual and can be used as a utility function during arithmetic simplifications.

Always consider py:func:tvm.ir.structural_equal first, which handles the structural remapping.
