This PR introduces the
opencl --device=adrenotarget and corresponding relay strategies. The conv2d schedules introduced here utilize spatial and channel-wise packing for the weights (OIHW4o) and activations (NCHW4c), respectively, both with vector length 4 to support lowering to RGBA texture memory.AutoTVM support
AutoTVM doesn't currently capture the runtime context of extracted tasks. Without capturing information about the runtime buffer scopes, the codegeneration during tuning will only occur on flat buffers (not texture). For now, we utilize a cache_read("texture") stage when tuning to explore the performance benefit of utilizing texture memory. We believe that with a sufficient number of iteration's per trial, the copy time to texture prior to running the main compute kernel (which results from a cache_read) should be constant over the search and therefore not greatly impact the tuning results.
Note that the cache_read is not needed when using the graph_runtime which supports passing in external texture buffers (see: [Texture support][Part 3] Support storage scope tag in graph runtime codegen, planning, runtime and compile engine #7688). Therefore, in the schedules one will observe
if autotvm.GLOBAL_SCOPE.in_tuning:which around scheduling related to adding a cache_read to texture stage.The schedules can be simplified once either 1) AutoTVM tuning supports capturing this runtime information during task extraction (thereby removing the need for a cache_read to texture) or 2) once texture lowering in tir.TextureFlatten fully supports cache_read cancellation (external buffer forwarding through the cache_read). Cancellation currently is supported except for the cases of padding wherein an extra texture to texture copy results.
