Parameters:

BufferAttr

Buffer attribute in TT dialect

Syntax:

#tt.buffer<
  MemRefType,   # memref
  BufferAccess   # buffer_access
>

Describes the physical footprint and layout of a buffer in L1. Its memref must also have a shape with rank equal to DeviceAttr grid. It also carries a buffer access attribute which can be one of:

• Alias: This buffer aliases a persistent Tensor L1 allocation directly. Implies that no datamovement occurs and the compute kernel just accesses the local allocation directly.
• Stream: This buffer is a temporary destination as a means to get remote data for local computation. Remote data is most likely a a tensor that is allocated in dram, but could also be data from a remote core.

  ::llvm::ArrayRef<int64_t>,   # meshShape
  ::llvm::ArrayRef<unsigned>   # chipIds
>

Describes the physical layout of a device in the system and is made up of a few components:

• A grid attribute that describes the device's compute grid shape. It not only describes the shape of the compute grid, but also carries an affine map that describes how the logical grid maps to the physical grid.
• Two affine maps that describe how a tensor layout's linear attribute maps to the L1 and DRAM memory spaces.
• A mesh shape that describes the virtual layout of the chips with respect to each other. Note that in a multi-chip system, this grid encapsulates the entire system's grid shape, e.g. 8x16 grid could be made up of a 1x2 mesh of chips side-by-side. The mesh attribute configures how the above grid/map attributes are created such that they implement this mesh topology.
• An array of chip ids that this device is made up of. This array's length must match the volume of the mesh shape and should be interpreted in row-major order.

Parameters:

MetalLayoutAttr

Tensor layout attribute

Syntax:

  AffineMap,   # linear
  OOBVal,   # oob_val
  GridAttr,   # grid
  MemRefType,   # memref
  TensorMemoryLayout   # mem_layout
>

The tensor layout attribute captures how tensor data is sharded across a grid of devices, cores, and is laid out in memory.

Some high level goals

• Logical shapes: Keep the original tensor shape and rank intact and agnostic to underlying storage layout. Keeping the logical shapes not only makes some graph transformations vastly simpler, in particular convs, but it makes the lowered IR much easier to read and reason about. The original tensor shapes leave breadcrumbs that make it much easier to map back to the input representation.
• Flexible sharding: Enable flexibility in choosing grid shape, to get better parallelization and avoid resharding. This is particularly important in cases where tensor shapes are not clean powers of two and would otherwise force our hand in choosing non-optimal grid shapes.
• Logical-Physical Isomorphism: Encode this information with just a few attributes to enable derived conversions from logical to physical layout and back.
• Explicit: A single source of truth.
• Enable a direct way to query padded regions.
