AKG(Auto Kernel Generator) is an optimizer for operators in Deep Learning Networks. It provides the ability to automatically fuse ops with specific patterns. AKG works with LuoJiaNET-GraphKernel to improve the performance of networks running on different hardware backends.
AKG composes with three basic optimization module, normalization, auto schedule and backend optimization.
-
normalization. In order to solve the limitation in expression ability of polyhedral(which can only process static linear programs), the computation IR needs to be normalized first. The mainly optimization of normalization module includes auto-inline, loop fusing, common subexpression elimination and so on.
-
auto schedule. Base on polyhedral technology, the auto schedule module mainly have auto-vectorization, auto-tiling, thread/block mapping, dependency analysis and memory promotion.
-
backend optimization. The backend optimization module mainly consists of TensorCore acceleration, double buffer optimization, storage flatten optimization and inject sync optimization.
At present, Ascend910, NVIDIA V100/A100 and CPU are supported. More Backends are on the list.
See LuoJiaNET README.md for details.
We suggest you build and run akg together with LuoJiaNET. And we also provide a way to run case in standalone mode for convenience sake. Refer to LuoJiaNET Installation for more information about compilation dependencies.
