Convolution Builder Factory Directory

This directory implements compile-time dispatch from high-level signature algorithm descriptors to our exisitng specialized convolution kernel implementations.

See the main builder documentation for an overview.

Design Overview

The factory system operates in two phases:

  1. Algorithm Classification: The function make_conv_instance in conv_dispatcher.hpp inspects the signature and algorithm descriptors to determine which kernel variant they satisfy (XDL V3, XDL, WMMA, DL, or Large Tensor)

  2. Factory Instantiation: Each factory (conv_fwd_*_factory.hpp) transforms builder descriptors into CK device operation template parameters and instantiates the corresponding kernel device operation.

Key Files

  • conv_dispatcher.hpp: Entry point with make_conv_instance() function. Contains dispatch logic and algorithm classification predicates. Start here to understand the overall flow.

  • conv_fwd_*_factory.hpp: Individual factories for each kernel variant. Each extracts configuration from descriptors, validates parameters, and instantiates the underlying CK device operation.

  • helpers/: Transformation utilities that map builder types to CK device operation parameters (layouts, data types, elementwise ops, block configurations, etc.)

Usage

#include "ck_tile/builder/factory/conv_dispatcher.hpp"

using Factory = decltype(make_conv_instance<signature, algorithm, "v1">());

The dispatcher automatically selects the appropriate factory following explicit logic.
