The PDL Interpreter dialect provides a lower level abstraction compared to the PDL dialect, and is targeted towards low level optimization and interpreter code generation. The dialect operations encapsulates low-level pattern match and rewrite "primitives", such as navigating the IR (Operation::getOperand), creating new operations (OpBuilder::create), etc. Many of the operations within this dialect also fuse branching control flow with some form of a predicate comparison operation. This type of fusion reduces the amount of work that an interpreter must do when executing.
An example of this representation is shown below:
mlir // The following high level PDL pattern: pdl.pattern : benefit(1) { %resultType = pdl.type %inputOperand = pdl.input %root, %results = pdl.operation "foo.op"(%inputOperand) -> %resultType pdl.rewrite(%root) { pdl.replace %root with (%inputOperand) } } // May be represented in the interpreter dialect as follows: module { func @matcher(%arg0: !pdl.operation) { pdl_interp.check_operation_name of %arg0 is "foo.op" -> ^bb2, ^bb1 ^bb1: pdl_interp.return ^bb2: pdl_interp.check_operand_count of %arg0 is 1 -> ^bb3, ^bb1 ^bb3: pdl_interp.check_result_count of %arg0 is 1 -> ^bb4, ^bb1 ^bb4: %0 = pdl_interp.get_operand 0 of %arg0 pdl_interp.is_not_null %0 : !pdl.value -> ^bb5, ^bb1 ^bb5: %1 = pdl_interp.get_result 0 of %arg0 pdl_interp.is_not_null %1 : !pdl.value -> ^bb6, ^bb1 ^bb6: pdl_interp.record_match @rewriters::@rewriter(%0, %arg0 : !pdl.value, !pdl.operation) : benefit(1), loc([%arg0]), root("foo.op") -> ^bb1 } module @rewriters { func @rewriter(%arg0: !pdl.value, %arg1: !pdl.operation) { pdl_interp.replace %arg1 with(%arg0) pdl_interp.return } } }
