* ck-builder: remove SPATIAL_DIM parameter from ConvTensorLayouts
This information is already in the SIGNATURE, so its pointless to pass it
separately. This streamlines the interface of those functions a bit. Also
touches up the style of those files in general.
* ck-builder: implement reference conv using old ck
The old ck implementation is more featureful and better tested.
* ck-builder: replace test_reference_execution reference with old ck
This strips out the ck-tile gpu reference implementation completely.
* ck-builder: clean up test_reference_execution
- Remove unneccesary messages
- Replace EXPECT_TRUE(true) with EXPECT_NO_THROW()
* [CK_BUILDER] Integrate GPU reference as ConvAlgorithm
Add GPU reference as a ConvAlgorithm specialization, enabling:
- Unified Builder API for reference and optimized kernels
- Future ckProfiler integration for validation
- First step toward numerical validation in Builder tests
Changes:
- Add ConvAlgorithmSpecialization::REFERENCE enum
- Add ConvAlgorithm_Reference struct
- Add IsReferenceAlgorithm concept
- Create 3 reference factories (Forward, BwdData, BwdWeight)
- Wire into conv_dispatcher
- Add proof-of-concept test (passing)
Test result: Can instantiate reference through Builder API
* Add GPU reference execution tests
- Reference kernel executes through Builder (459ms)
- Both reference and optimized can instantiate
- Tests passing
Next: Implement utilities for comparison
* Optimized Builder kernel execution works
- MakeArgument pattern implemented
- Builder-generated kernel executes successfully
- Tests passing (451ms execution)
Next: Add comparison
* VALIDATION COMPLETE: Builder == Reference
Builder-generated kernel output matches GPU reference!
Test: Validate_Optimized_vs_Reference_Forward_2D_FP16
Result: PASS ✓
This proves CK Builder generates correct code!
* Update to new Builder API
All tests passing
* Rename test file for clarity
test_builder_kernel_execution -> test_builder_kernel_validation
* Add all 3 directions support
- Forward, Backward Data, Backward Weight
- All reference factories working
- Dispatcher wired for all directions
- 9 tests passing
Tests:
- test_reference_execution: 3 tests (all directions)
- test_optimized_execution: 3 tests (all directions)
- test_builder_kernel_validation: 3 tests (fwd validated, bwd placeholders)
* Add backward direction support
- Backward data and weight dispatcher wiring
- Fix factories for new API
- All 3 directions tested
- 9 tests passing
* Refactor: Change IsReferenceAlgorithm from concept to consteval function
Address review feedback: Use consteval function in dispatcher instead of
concept, matching the pattern for other algorithms (Tile, XDL, WMMA, DL).
- Remove IsReferenceAlgorithm concept from conv_algorithm_concepts.hpp
- Add IsReferenceAlgorithm() consteval function to conv_dispatcher.hpp
- Update dispatcher to use function call: IsReferenceAlgorithm<T>()
- Remove redundant algorithm checks from reference factory requires clauses
All tests passing (9/9).
* Move Tile algorithm check outside direction block to support all directions
* Implement MakeInvokerPointer interface and add random input validation
- Implement full Argument/Invoker structs for old CK interface (not just nullptr)
- Refactor with reference_common.hpp to reduce code duplication
- Add random input validation tests: Builder vs direct GPU reference (all directions)
- Fix layout: GNHWC -> NHWGC to match reference kernel expectations
- All 12 tests pass with IDENTICAL results on random input
* Move ConvAlgorithm_Reference to test/impl/conv_algorithm_types.hpp
Keep types.hpp for data types only (enums), move algorithm descriptors
to conv_algorithm_types.hpp as suggested by review.
* Add static_assert to ensure reference factories only accept PassThrough operations
Reference implementation doesn't support fused elementwise operations.
Add compile-time validation to fail early with clear error message if
non-PassThrough operations are specified on input, weight, or output.
* Add InstanceTraits support for reference kernels
- Store SIGNATURE/ALGORITHM/VERSION in Instance for reflection
- Create shared ReferenceCommonTraits base for common properties
- Add 3 direction-specific InstanceTraits specializations in one file
- Include data type and layouts in instance_string output
* Remove optimized kernel validation tests from reference-only branch
* Use existing layout helper and organize reference tests
Use LayoutToCK from conv_tensor_layout.hpp and move reference InstanceTraits
test to validation folder.
* Merge develop branch
Fix DataType switch for new mixed precision types.
* Fix comment spacing for CI
* Convert IsReferenceAlgorithm from function to concept
* Add reference tests to CI smoke tests
* Consolidate 3 reference factories into single unified factory
