When tuning workload using AutoTVM, we may encounter an exception saying
< not supported between instances of function and function
. The reason is we currently put RPC requests in the format of(-priority, time.time(), callback)
. When two requests with the samepriority
andtime.time()
, then heap pop throws the error of trying to compare two callbacks. Although it seems rare to have the same timestamp for two requests, one of my colleagues encounters an exception repeatedly when tuning a task using AutoTVM on V100 GPU. As a result, I try to use a counter to replace the timestamp so that we guarantee there's no duplication. Not sure if we need thread locking here to make sure thread safe, tho.cc @tqchen @FrozenGene
