Optimizing Deep Learning Compiler
siliconANGLE
● “...cross-platform model compilers [...] are harbingers of
the new age in which it won’t matter what front-end tool
you used to build your AI algorithms and what back-end
clouds, platforms or chipsets are used to execute them.”
● “Cross-platform AI compilers will become standard
components of every AI development environment,
enabling developers to access every deep learning
framework and target platform without having to know
the technical particular of each environment.”
● “...within the next two to three years, the AI industry will
converge around one open-source cross-compilation
supported by all front-end and back-end environments”

Quotes from article:
Venture Beat
“With PyTorch and TensorFlow, you’ve seen the frameworks
sort of converge. The reason quantization comes up, and a
bunch of other lower-level efficiencies come up, is because
the next war is compilers for the frameworks — XLA, TVM,
PyTorch has Glow, a lot of innovation is waiting to happen,” he
said.
“For the next few years, you’re going to see … how to
quantize smarter, how to fuse better, how to use GPUs more
efficiently, [and] how to automatically compile for new
hardware.”

TVM:

An Automated End-to-End Optimizing
Compiler for Deep Learning
● “There is an increasing need to bring machine
learning to a wide diversity of hardware
devices”
● TVM is “a compiler that exposes graph-level
and operator-level optimizations to provide
performance portability to deep learning
workloads across diverse hardware back-
ends”
● “Experimental results show that TVM delivers
performance across hardware back-ends that
are competitive with state-of-the-art, hand-
tuned libraries for low-power CPU, mobile
GPU, and server-class GPUs”

Relay:
12
A High-level Compiler for
Deep Learning
● Relay is “a high-level IR that enables end-to-
end optimization of deep learning models for a
variety of devices”
● “Relay's functional, statically typed
intermediate representation (IR) unifies and
generalizes existing DL IRs to express state-of-
the-art models”
● “With its extensible design and expressive
language, Relay serves as a foundation for
future work in applying compiler techniques to
the domain of deep learning systems”

Ansor:
13
Generating High-Performance
Tensor Programs for Deep Learning
● “...obtaining performant tensor programs for
different operators on various hardware
platforms is notoriously challenging”
● Ansor is “a tensor program generation
framework for deep learning applications”
● “Ansor can find high-performance programs
that are outside the search space of existing
state-of-the-art approaches”
● “We show that Ansor improves the execution
performance of deep neural networks relative
to the state-of-the-art on the Intel CPU, ARM
CPU, and NVIDIA GPU by up to 3.8×, 2.6×, and
1.7×, respectively”

Who is using TVM?
15
Every Alexa wake-up today across all
devices uses a TVM-optimized model
“At Facebook, we've been contributing to
TVM for the past year and a half or so, and
it's been a really awesome experience”
“We're really excited about the performance
of TVM.” - Andrew Tulloch, AI Researcher
Bing query understanding: 3x faster on CPU
QnA bot: 2.6 faster on CPU, 1.8x faster on GPU

Graph Level Optimizations
Rewrites dataflow graphs (nodes and edges) to simplify
the graph and reduce device peak memory usage
Operator Level Optimizations
Hardware target-specific low-level optimizations for
individual operators/nodes in the graph.
Efficient Runtime
TVM optimized models run in the lightweight TVM Runtime
System, providing a minimal API for loading and executing
the model in Python, C++, Rust, Go, Java or Javascript
How does TVM work?
Deep Learning Operators

● Deep Neural Networks look like Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs)
● Operators are the building blocks (nodes) of neural network models
● Network edges represent data flowing between operators

Relay
● Relay has a functional, statically typed intermediate representation (IR)
22
Auto-scheduler (a.k.a. Ansor)
● Auto-scheduler (2nd gen) replaces AutoTVM
● Auto-scheduler/Ansor aims to a fully automated scheduler for generating
high-performance code for tensor computations, without manual templates
● Auto-scheduler can achieve better performance with faster search time in
a more automated way b/c of innovations in search space construction and
search algorithm
● Goal: Automatically turn tensor operations (like matmul or conv2d) into efficient code
implementation
● AutoTVM (1st gen): template-based search algorithm to find efficient implementation for
tensor operations.
○ required domain experts to write a manual template for every operator on every
platform, > 15k loc in TVM

TIR Script
● TIR provides more flexibility than high
level tensor expressions.
● Not everything is expressible in TE and
auto-scheduling is not always perfect.
○ AutoScheduling 3.0 (code-
named AutoTIR coming later
this year)
○ We can also directly write TIR
directly using TIRScript.

def fuse_add_exp(a: ty.handle, c: ty.handle) -> None:
A = tir.match_buffer(a, (64,))
C = tir.match_buffer(c, (64,))
B = tir.alloc_buffer((64,))
