"COMET" / Domain specific COMpiler for Extreme Targets

The COMET compiler consists of a Domain Specific Language (DSL) for sparse and dense tensor algebra computations, a progressive lowering process to map high-level operations to low-level architectural resources, a series of optimizations performed in the lowering process, and various IR dialects to represent key concepts, operations, and types at each level of the multi-level IR. At each level of the IR stack, COMET performs different optimizations and code transformations. Domain-specific, hardware- agnostic optimizations that rely on high-level semantic information are applied at high-level IRs. These include reformulation of high-level operations in a form that is amenable for execution on heterogeneous devices (e.g., rewriting Tensor contraction operations as Transpose-Transpose-GEMM-Transpose) and automatic parallelization of high-level primitives (e.g., tiling for thread- and task-level parallelism).

Installation and Testing:

1. Getting COMET pyhton package:

   • Install the COMET python package using pip (or) pip3 python package managers as: (a) For macOS users: python3 -m pip install cometpy (b) For Linux users: python3 -m pip install cometpy-lnx

2. Using COMET compiler as a backend to lower and execute test methods:

   • Import the Comet Python package in your python script using - "import cometpy as comet"

   • To compile a test method using COMET, add the decorator "@comet.compile(flags=...)" before the method.

   • The "numpy" keyword in a target method needs to be replace with "comet" e.g. "comet.einsum" , "comet.multiply"

     Supported "numpy" methods: (1) .einsum() (2) .multiply()

   • For the actual "einsum" computation, follow the convention - "comet.einsum()"
