Revision 8c28a73d3583de7765387e70424061a652d246b0 authored by Andrew Adams on 21 November 2023, 23:27:21 UTC, committed by GitHub on 21 November 2023, 23:27:21 UTC
Improve code size and compile time for local laplacian and interpolate apps

This reduces compile time for the manual local laplacian schedule from
4.9s to 2.2s, and reduces code size from 126k to 82k

Most of the reduction comes from avoiding a pointless boundary condition
in the output Func. A smaller amount comes from avoiding loop
partitioning using RoundUp and Partition::Never. The Partition::Never
calls are responsible for a 3% reduction in code size and compile times
by themselves.

This has basically no effect on runtime. It seems to reduce it very
slightly, but it's in the noise.

// Halide tutorial lesson 19: Wrapper Funcs

// This lesson demonstrates how to use Func::in and ImageParam::in to
// schedule a Func differently in different places, and to stage loads
// from a Func or an ImageParam.

// On linux, you can compile and run it like so:
// g++ lesson_19*.cpp -g -I <path/to/Halide.h> -L <path/to/libHalide.so> -lHalide -lpthread -ldl -o lesson_19 -std=c++17
// LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<path/to/libHalide.so> ./lesson_19

// On os x:
// g++ lesson_19*.cpp -g -I <path/to/Halide.h> -L <path/to/libHalide.so> -lHalide -o lesson_19 -std=c++17
// DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=<path/to/libHalide.dylib> ./lesson_19

// If you have the entire Halide source tree, you can also build it by
// running:
//    make tutorial_lesson_19_wrapper_funcs
// in a shell at the top of the halide source tree.

// The only Halide header file you need is Halide.h. It includes all of Halide.
#include "Halide.h"

// We'll also include stdio for printf.
#include <stdio.h>

using namespace Halide;

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
    // First we'll declare some Vars to use below.
    Var x("x"), y("y"), xo("xo"), yo("yo"), xi("xi"), yi("yi");

    // This lesson will be about "wrapping" a Func or an ImageParam using the
    // Func::in and ImageParam::in directives
    {
        // Consider a simple two-stage pipeline:
        Func f("f_local"), g("g_local");
        f(x, y) = x + y;
        g(x, y) = 2 * f(x, y) + 3;

        f.compute_root();

        // This produces the following loop nests:
        // for y:
        //   for x:
        //     f(x, y) = x + y
        // for y:
        //   for x:
        //     g(x, y) = 2 * f(x, y) + 3

        // Using Func::in, we can interpose a new Func in between f
        // and g using the schedule alone:
        Func f_in_g = f.in(g);
        f_in_g.compute_root();

        // Equivalently, we could also chain the schedules like so:
        // f.in(g).compute_root();

        // This produces the following three loop nests:
        // for y:
        //   for x:
        //     f(x, y) = x + y
        // for y:
        //   for x:
        //     f_in_g(x, y) = f(x, y)
        // for y:
        //   for x:
        //     g(x, y) = 2 * f_in_g(x, y) + 3

        g.realize({5, 5});

        // See figures/lesson_19_wrapper_local.mp4 for a visualization.

        // The schedule directive f.in(g) replaces all calls to 'f'
        // inside 'g' with a wrapper Func and then returns that
        // wrapper. Essentially, it rewrites the original pipeline
        // above into the following:
        {
            Func f_in_g("f_in_g"), f("f"), g("g");
            f(x, y) = x + y;
            f_in_g(x, y) = f(x, y);
            g(x, y) = 2 * f_in_g(x, y) + 3;

            f_in_g.compute_root();
            g.compute_root();

        // In isolation, such a transformation seems pointless, but it
        // can be used for a variety of scheduling tricks.
    }

    {
        // In the schedule above, only the calls to 'f' made by 'g'
        // are replaced. Other calls made to f would still call 'f'
        // directly. If we wish to globally replace all calls to 'f'
        // with a single wrapper, we simply say f.in().

        // Consider a three stage pipeline, with two consumers of f:

        g(x, y) = 2 * f(x, y);

        f.compute_root();
        g.compute_root();
        h.compute_root();

        // We will replace all calls to 'f' inside both 'g' and 'h'
        // with calls to a single wrapper:
