Robin Voetter d0364641ed [CK_BUILDER] old ck build fixes (#3075)
* Disable c++20-compat warnings when building old CK in C++20 mode

Turns out that this creates some warnings for no good reason.

* ck-builder: add missing layouts and element-wise op names

For layouts, we can directly use the ::name attribute, which should
cover all layouts. For element-wise ops, I just added the ones which
are currently missing when compiling CK with -DMIOPEN_REQ_LIBS_ONLY.

Builder

This directory contains the experimental builder feature for composable_kernel.

  • Status: In development (October - November 2025)

Overview

The builder provides a high-level, semantically-clear interface for constructing composable kernel operations, with an initial focus on convolution kernels for MIOpen. It leverages modern C++20 features (such as POD structs as non-type template parameters, concepts, and designated initializers) to simplify kernel instantiation and improve developer experience.

This project is a prototype for a more general builder pattern for all of composable_kernel (CK) and CKTile, but is currently limited to formalizing the interface between MIOpen and CK.

Directory Structure

  • include/ck_tile/builder/
    Core builder headers and public API.
  • test/
    Unit tests and example usage of the builder pattern.
  • CMakeLists.txt
    CMake configuration for building the experimental builder and its tests.

CMake Configuration

To enable the experimental builder, configure your build with:

cmake -DCK_EXPERIMENTAL_BUILDER=ON -DCMAKE_CXX_STANDARD=20 ...

Building and testing

During development, build and test from the CK build directory with

ninja test_conv_builder && bin/test_conv_builder
