SamiAario-AMD 3641dcd64c [CK Tile] gemm splitk two stage (#2697)
* Fix a typo

* Use std::variant to call run_gemm_example_with_layouts with the available layout variant combinations

* Use a unified run_gemm_example_prec_type for basic gemm and universal gemm

* Factor out run_gemm_example_prec_type

* Refactor argument parsing in gemm_splitk_two_stage_reduce.cpp

* Parse arguments outside of create_args

* Move the gemm operators to separate structs to facilitate their reuse

* Move the invokers to separate files to facilitate their reuse

* Rename the invoker files for consistency with the examples that use them

* Add fp32 support to the elementwise examples, and produce an error message for unsupported types

* Get rid of four unused variables

* Make two variables const

* Add support for different input-output type combinations in elementwise examples

* Test support for different input and output types in elementwise examples

* Add support for different operations in the elementwise unary tests

* Add support for UnaryConvert in the elementwise unary tests

* Add support for bf16 in elementwise examples, excluding unsupported type combinations

* Make some operator parameters const in ElementWiseKernel

* Remove some unnecessary include statements

* Implement a two-stage GEMM that does a type conversion in the second stage using the elementwise kernel

* Clear workspace instead of output when flushing the cache in SplitKTwoStageInvoker::gemm

* Fix formatting issues reported by clang

* Add back CK_TILE_USE_WMMA related changes

* Use the right prec type for bf16 in the universal GEMM and two stage split K examples

* Add some brackets

* Add some brackets

* Separate the clearing of the GEMM output memory from the cache flushing in the universal GEMM example

* Separate the clearing of the GEMM output memory from the cache flushing in the split K two stage example

* Fix formatting

* No need to call SetZero on ws_m_n_dev_buf here, as clear_gemm_output now does this as part of the kernel preprocessing

* Add fp16 data type to splitk two stage example

* Add preprocessing with optional cache flushing and clearing of output for k_batch > 1 to the basic GEMM example

Composable Kernel Tile

concept

ck_tile provides a programming model with templated abstractions to enable users to implement performance-critical kernels for machine learning workloads. introduces following basic concepts to help users building your own operator

  • tensor coordinate transformation, this is the core concept of layout/index transform abstraction in both compiler time and run time.
  • tile-based programming model, including tile-level api and the concept of distributed tensor.

ck_tile is independently from the old ck, located under /include/ck_tile. You don't need to include anything from old CK, ck_tile has similiar (indeed almost the same) implementations for users to build operators. We will have a transition period to pull everything from old ck into ck_tile, stay tuned.

component

ck_tile is splitted into several componenets including core, host, ops/gemm, ops/fmha... each component you only need to include a single header (e.g #include "ck_tile/core.hpp", #include "ck_tile/ops/fmha.hpp") then you are able to use the function/structure inside (different from old ck)

[core]
ck_tile/core contains all the basic data structure and function to build the kernel, you can only include this header and build your own operators that utilizing all the basic building blocks introduced in ck.

core/container

  • array, store runtime variables with fixed length (tensor index, register buffer, etc...)
  • tuple, same as std::tuple, hold different type of data, and one of the solution to achieve multiple buffer.
  • sequence, compile time integer sequence used to build various internal structures, or to describe tile size
  • other convenient structure build on top of above 3

core/numeric

  • gpu data type like fp16_t, bf16_t, fp8_t... and the conversion between each other
  • constexpr integer similiar to std::integral_constant to be used as compile time integer.
  • math functions and numeric utilities

core/algorithm

  • coordinate transformation system, used to build tensor transform and compile time indexing. This is the core idea introduced in old ck to describe how a tensor is build by several basic transform primitives like merge/unmerge/embed etc... and how we indexing into a ND tensor that finally mapped to 1D memory offset.

core/tensor

  • tensor descriptor, to describe how a ND tensor
  • distributed tensor, describe the storage of this tensor, and the distribution of how a collection of threads collaborately work for this tensor.
  • tile level API, including load_tile, store_tile, shuffle_tile, slice_tile, etc...

[host]
ck_tile/host contains all the host side utilities to launch a kernel, create the device buffer, and some reference implementations. This can be used to create examples (like that under ck_tile example folder) and simple executable to invoke this kernel, so if you only need ck_tile to build your own device library then it's OK to not include this. Based on this, it is recommended to include the specific header you needed under this folder to avoid including unwanted headers (e.g, only include ck_tile/host/kernel_launch.hpp), unless you are writing a host executable.

[ops/gemm, ops/fmha, ops/reduce...]
our implementation of different device operators.

  • warp, warp tile level operator
  • block, block tile level operator
  • pipeline, pipeline that can achieve a customized tile level mainloop (or epilogue). By switching different pipeline to the kernel template you can have different kind of pipeline optimizations.
  • kernel, template interface for users to instantiate a particular kernel

[ops/epilogue]
epilogue part of our kernel. We may extend this epilogue part to let users to build their own cutomized epilogues.

[ref]
reference implementation of cpu or gpu. This folder is supposed to include a specific header on demand.

examples

currently we put all ck_tile related example under /example/ck_tile folder. Please check each example's subfolder.
