What is Antares:

Antares (https://github.com/microsoft/antares) is an engine to auto generate optimized kernels for Multi Backends. It is a framework not only for Software developers to get backend-related code, but also for Hardware developers to extend new backends/hareware quickly and easily. Antares frontend is based on Antares IR that follows "One Language Syntax for All Platforms".

How to Install:

python3 -m pip install --upgrade antares

Quick Test:

BACKEND=c-scpu antares

# List Supported Backends
antares backends

# Help Information:
antares help

Usage Examples (antares save/eval/compile):

# Quickly generate a multi-threaded CPU code:
BACKEND=c-mcpu antares

# Search an efficient multi-threaded CPU code and save best code to specified location:
STEP=100 BACKEND=c-mcpu antares save ./kernel_example.cpp

# Reproduce kernel evaluation based on an early saved source code:
BACKEND=c-mcpu antares eval ./kernel_example.cpp

# Freeze kernels and compiled into edge-side binaries:
BACKEND=c-mcpu antares compile ./kernel_example.cpp ./output-dest/
# Build solution in destination directory:
cd ./output-dest && make

Advanced Examples:

# Quickly generate a CUDA code with correctness checking:
CHECK=1 BACKEND=c-cuda antares

# Search an efficient multi-threaded CPU code showing progress bar only:
PROGRESS=1 STEP=100 BACKEND=c-mcpu antares save ./kernel_example.cpp

# Quickly generate a SHADER code for Windows 10/11's DirectX12:
BACKEND=c-hlsl_win64 antares

# Quickly generate an ROCm code for AMDGPU (requires ROCm SDK >= 4.2):
BACKEND=c-rocm antares

# Quickly generate a CUDA code for computing MatMul (512,512)x(512,512) based on [Antares IR](AntaresIR.md) for NVIDIA GPU (requires NVIDIA CUDA SDK >= 10.0):
BACKEND=c-cuda COMPUTE_V1='- S = 512; einstein_v2(input_dict={"input0": {"dtype": "float32", "shape": [S, S]}, "input1": {"dtype": "float32", "shape": [S, S]}}, exprss="output0[N, M] +=! input0[N, K] * input1[K, M]")' antares

# Search an efficient CUDA code for MatMul, using 2000 steps for trial:
BACKEND=c-cuda STEP=2000 COMPUTE_V1='- S = 512; einstein_v2(input_dict={"input0": {"dtype": "float32", "shape": [S, S]}, "input1": {"dtype": "float32", "shape": [S, S]}}, exprss="output0[N, M] +=! input0[N, K] * input1[K, M]")' antares

# Cleanup history caches:
antares clean

# Boot HTTP daemon for accepting searching tasks:
antares rest-server

# Setup Plugin for Pytorch && Examples:
BACKEND=c-cuda antares torch-setup
BACKEND=c-mcpu antares torch-setup
python3 -m antares_core.frameworks.pytorch.examples.1_hello_world
