TiraLib Python: A Tiramisu Compiler Python Frontend For Loading Tiramisu Programs and Building and Executing Schedules

Introduction

TiraLib Python is a Python frontend for the Tiramisu compiler. It allows users to build schedules for Tiramisu programs and execute them. It also allows users to generate C++ code for their Tiramisu schedules and execute it.

Installation

To install TiraLib Python, you need to install the Tiramisu compiler first. Please follow the instructions here.

Respository

Then, you can install tiralib Python by cloning this repository and running the following command:

cd tiralib
poetry install

Install as library from GitHub

You can also install tiralib Python as a library from github by running the following command:

poetry add git+https://github.com/Tiramisu-Compiler/TiraLib

or using pip:

pip install git+https://github.com/Tiramisu-Compiler/TiraLib

Usage and Features

Activating the Virtual Environment

If you installed TiraLib using poetry in a .venv environement then you need to activate the virtual environment created by Poetry:

poetry shell

Configuration File

TiraLib Python uses a configuration file to specify the paths to the Tiramisu compiler and the Tiramisu runtime. The configuration file is named config.yaml and should be placed in the root directory of the project. The configuration file should have the following format (more details can be found in the config module):

env_vars:
  CXX: "${CXX}"
  CC: "${CC}"

dependencies:
    includes:
        - path to where the include of dependencies are
    libs:
        - path to lib where dependencies are installed

A config.yaml.example file is provided in the root directory of the project. You can use it as a template for your configuration file.

Before running any TiraLib Python code, you need to load the configuration file using the following code:

from tiralib.config import BaseConfig

BaseConfig.init()

Loading a Tiramisu Program

To load a Tiramisu program, you need to create a TiramisuProgram object and pass the path to the Tiramisu program to its from_file constructor, and set the load_annotations and load_tree parameters to True if you want to load the annotations and the AST tree of the Tiramisu program respectively:

from tiralib.tiramisu import TiramisuProgram, Schedule, tiramisu_actions
from tiralib.config import BaseConfig

BaseConfig.init()

tiramisu_program = TiramisuProgram.from_file(
    "./examples/function_blur_MINI_generator.cpp", load_annotations=True, load_tree=True
)

print(tiramisu_program.tree)

Building a Schedule

To build a schedule for a Tiramisu program, you need to create a Schedule object and pass the TiramisuProgram object to its constructor:

from tiralib.tiramisu import TiramisuProgram, Schedule, tiramisu_actions
from tiralib.config import BaseConfig

BaseConfig.init()

tiramisu_program = TiramisuProgram.from_file(
    "./examples/function_blur_MINI_generator.cpp", load_annotations=True, load_tree=True
)

schedule = Schedule(tiramisu_program)

Scheduling

tiralib Python provides a set of code transformations that can be used to build schedules for Tiramisu programs. These transformations are implemented as TiramisuAction objects.

To add a transformation to a schedule, you need to call the add_optimizations method of the Schedule object and pass the TiramisuAction object to it:

from tiralib.tiramisu import TiramisuProgram, Schedule, tiramisu_actions
from tiralib.config import BaseConfig

BaseConfig.init()

tiramisu_program = TiramisuProgram.from_file(
    "./examples/function_blur_MINI_generator.cpp", load_annotations=True, load_tree=True
)

schedule = Schedule(tiramisu_program)

schedule.add_optimizations([tiramisu_actions.Parallelization([("comp_blur", 0)])])

You can find the list of all the transformations implemented in tiralib Python here

Legality Checking

To check the legality of a schedule, you need to call the is_legal method of the Schedule object:

from tiralib.tiramisu import TiramisuProgram, Schedule, tiramisu_actions
from tiralib.config import BaseConfig

BaseConfig.init()

tiramisu_program = TiramisuProgram.from_file(
    "./examples/function_blur_MINI_generator.cpp", load_annotations=True, load_tree=True
)

schedule = Schedule(tiramisu_program)

schedule.add_optimizations([tiramisu_actions.Parallelization([("comp_blur", 0)])])

if schedule.is_legal():
    print("The schedule is legal")
else:
    print("The schedule is illegal")

Execution

To execute a schedule, you need to call the execute method of the Schedule object:

from tiralib.tiramisu import TiramisuProgram, Schedule, tiramisu_actions
from tiralib.config import BaseConfig

BaseConfig.init()

tiramisu_program = TiramisuProgram.from_file(
    "./examples/function_blur_MINI_generator.cpp", load_annotations=True, load_tree=True
)

schedule = Schedule(tiramisu_program)

schedule.add_optimizations([tiramisu_actions.Parallelization([("comp_blur", 0)])])

execution_times = schedule.execute()

print(execution_times)

Development

Testing

To run the tests, you need to activate the virtual environment created by Poetry:

poetry shell

Then, you can run the tests using the following command:

pytest

Coverage

To run the tests and generate the coverage report, you need to activate the virtual environment created by Poetry:

poetry shell

Then, you can run the tests using the following command:

coverage run -m pytest

Finally, you can generate the coverage report using the following command:

coverage report

For HTML coverage report, you can use the following command:

coverage html --include="tiralib/**/*"

Code Formatting

The library uses the ruff code formatter. To format the code, you need to activate the virtual environment created by Poetry:

poetry shell

Then, you can format the code using the following command:

ruff format .
