OpenXLA NVIDIA GPU Compiler and Runtime

This project contains the compiler and runtime plugins enabling specialized targeting of the OpenXLA platform to NVIDIA GPUs. It builds on top of the core IREE toolkit.

Development setup

The project can be built either as part of IREE by manually specifying plugin paths via -DIREE_COMPILER_PLUGIN_PATHS, or for development tailored to NVIDIA GPUs specifically, can be built directly:

cmake -GNinja -B build/ -S . \
    -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo \
    -DIREE_ENABLE_ASSERTIONS=ON \
    -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=clang \
    -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++ \
    -DIREE_ENABLE_LLD=ON

# Recommended:
# -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER_LAUNCHER=ccache -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_LAUNCHER=ccache

Note that you will need a check-out of the IREE codebase in ../iree relative to the directory where the openxla-nvgpu compiler was checked out. Running the sync_deps.py script should bring in all source dependencies at needed versions (into the parent directory).

Additional options for configuring IREE are in the IREE getting started guide for details of how to set this up.

Installing dependencies

You must have a CUDA Toolkit installed together with a cuDNN (see instructions).

See the project settings for options to build without components requiring full dependencies.

On Linux platform path to libcudnn.so should be added to LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/usr/local/cuda/lib64

Running tests

Some of the tests can run only on an Ampere+ devices because they rely on the cuDNN runtime fusion engine.

Tests that depend on having a device present can be disabled with -DOPENXLA_NVGPU_INCLUDE_DEVICE_TESTS=OFF.

cmake --build build --target openxla-nvgpu-run-tests

Project Maintenance

This section is a work in progress describing various project maintenance tasks.

Pre-requisite: Install openxla-devtools

pip install git+https://github.com/openxla/openxla-devtools.git

Sync all deps to pinned versions

openxla-workspace sync

Update IREE to head

This updates the pinned IREE revision to the HEAD revision at the remote.

# Updates the sync_deps.py metadata.
openxla-workspace roll iree
# Brings all dependencies to pinned versions.
openxla-workspace sync

Full update of all deps

This updates the pinned revisions of all dependencies. This is presently done by updating openxla-pjrt-plugin to remote HEAD and deriving the IREE dependency from its pin.

# Updates the sync_deps.py metadata.
openxla-workspace roll nightly
# Brings all dependencies to pinned versions.
openxla-workspace sync

Pin current versions of all deps

This can be done if local, cross project changes have been made and landed. It snapshots the state of all deps as actually checked out and updates the metadata.
