SWCompiler

Definition

SWCompiler is a end-to-end multi-domain application specific compiler targeting HPC platforms.

SW~ represents the original purpose of SWCompiler is to support automatic parallelization targeting Sunway-series supercomputers, among which is the currently worlds leading Sunway TaihuLight supercomputer.

Major Features

Front-end Features:

Generally, SWC is aiming to support any applications that can be described as a Tensor Computing Flow (TCF).

Deep Learning, which is one of the well known tensor computing applications, is the first domain that is supported by SWC.

Besides, 3-D biomocular reconstruction and most stencil computations in classical scientific computation applications are also taken into consideration as the supporting domain of SWC.

Prerequisites

In order to build SWCompiler, it is necessary to install a few packages.

protobuf
graphviz

Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler graphviz

macOS

brew install protobuf graphviz

Compilation

To build in Debug mode, the following command maybe useful.

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DLEVELDEBUG=4 ..
make all

SWCompiler C++ API

The SWCompiler C++ API provides high level C++ interface for neural network specification, optimization pass, visualization and compilation.
