[mlir] Use VectorTransferLoweringPatterns in VectorToSCF
ClosedPublic

Authored by springerm on May 16 2021, 10:38 PM.

Details

Summary

VectorTransferLoweringPatterns can be enabled via a pass option. These additional patterns lower permutation maps to minor identity maps with broadcasting, if possible, allowing for more efficient vector load/stores. The option is deactivated by default.

Depends On D102566

I think this check is a bit simpler than the old code and does the same thing. Or am I missing some special case?

let's name this into a proper constant and avoid carrying a magic 2 around.

The use of benefit looks a bit odd to me here. This isn't really a problem of cost model but more a phase ordering problem. we currently don't pick a phase ordering using benefit so far so that seems a bit weird to me. I think you could just apply the pattern separately before, would that not give the same result?

I mean something like:

 // First lower transfer ops.
 RewritePatternSet lowerTransferPatterns(getFunction().getContext());
 mlir::vector::populateVectorTransferLoweringPatterns(lowerTransferPatterns);
(void)applyPatternsAndFoldGreedily(getFunction(), std::move(lowerTransferPatterns));

RewritePatternSet patterns(getFunction().getContext());
populateVectorToSCFConversionPatterns(patterns, options);
(void)applyPatternsAndFoldGreedily(getFunction(), std::move(patterns));

I'm also wondering if it really needs to be done in this pass or it could be something handled at the strategy level but I don't have all the context there so it may be better that way.

Yeah I think that works.

Right, that's how it should be done.
