tvm.target
Target description and codgen module.
TVM’s target string is in format <target_kind> [-option=value]...
.
Note
The list of options include:
-device=<device name>
The device name.
-mtriple=<target triple>
Specify the target triple, which is useful for cross compilation.
-mcpu=<cpuname>
Specify a specific chip in the current architecture to generate code for. By default this is infered from the target triple and autodetected to the current architecture.
-mattr=a1,+a2,-a3,…
Override or control specific attributes of the target, such as whether SIMD operations are enabled or not. The default set of attributes is set by the current CPU.
-mabi=<abi>
Generate code for the specified ABI, for example “lp64d”.
-system-lib
Build TVM system library module. System lib is a global module that contains self registered functions in program startup. User can get the module using tvm.runtime.system_lib. It is useful in environments where dynamic loading api like dlopen is banned. The system lib will be available as long as the result code is linked by the program.
We can use tvm.target.Target()
to create a tvm.target.Target from the target string.
We can also use other specific function in this module to create specific targets.
