weberlo opened a new pull request #4274: [µTVM] Enable AutoTVM for ARM STM32F746XX Boards URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-tvm/pull/4274 This PR adds support for autotuning via MicroTVM. To test this infrastructure on a physical board, I have added support for ARM STM32F746XX boards, featuring Cortex-M7 CPUs. As a followup to this PR, I will write a tutorial for tuning conv2d. Here are the most notable changes: - All components in the µTVM infra are now parameterized by the word size of the target device. - Device configuration has been expanded to include the memory layout, word size, and thumb mode indicator of the device. - There is now a `micro.device` Python namespace featuring a global registry of all supported devices. The registry is indexed by device ID (e.g., `host`, `riscv_spike`, or `arm.stm32f746xx`). and maps to dictionaries containing two functions: `create_micro_lib` (for creating libraries specific to that device) and `default_config` (for generating default device-specific config). - The µTVM runtime API has been expanded to include timing functions, where each implementation is device-specific.` - There is new a `src/runtime/micro/device` folder which mirrors the structure of the `micro.device` folder and includes device initialization and timer implementations for each device. - RPC sessions will now use the `MicroTimeEvaluator` when possible, to make use of cycle-accurate timings available on microcontrollers, instead of using wall clock time (which would include communication overhead). Many thanks to @tqchen for discussing the design with me! CC @u99127 @ajtulloch @jwfromm
