AITemplate (AIT) is a Python framework that transforms deep neural networks into CUDA (NVIDIA GPU) / HIP (AMD GPU) C++ code for lightning-fast inference serving. AITemplate highlights include:

- High performance: close to roofline fp16 TensorCore (NVIDIA GPU) / MatrixCore (AMD GPU) performance on major models, including ResNet, MaskRCNN, BERT, VisionTransformer, Stable Diffusion, etc.

- Unified, open, and flexible. Seamless fp16 deep neural network models for NVIDIA GPU or AMD GPU. Fully open source, Lego-style easily extendable high-performance primitives for new model support. Supports a significantly more comprehensive range of fusions than existing solutions for both GPU platforms.

## More about AITemplate

### Excellent Backward Capability

AITemplate doesn't depend on third-party libraries or runtimes, such as cuBLAS, cuDNN, rocBLAS, MIOpen, TensorRT, MIGraphX, etc. Each model is compiled into a self-contained portable binary, which can be used on any software environment with the same hardware.

### Horizontal Fusion

AITemplate provides unique advanced horizontal fusion. AITemplate can fuse parallel GEMM, LayerNorm, and other operators with different input shapes into a single GPU kernel.

### Vertical Fusion

AITemplate provides strong vertical fusion. AITemplate can fuse a large range of operations into TensorCore/MatrixCore operations, such as elementwise operations, reductions, and layout permutations. AITemplate also provides back-to-back style TensorCore / MatrixCore operation fusion.

### Memory Fusion

AITemplate provides innovative memory fusions. AITemplate can fuse GEMM, LayerNorm, and other operators, followed by memory operations such as concatenation, split, and slice into a single operator.

### Working w/wo PyTorch

The AITemplate-generated Python runtime can take PyTorch tensors as inputs and outputs without an extra copy. For environments without PyTorch, the AITemplate Python/C++ runtime is self-contained.

### Extensions without suffering

AITemplate provides a straightforward approach for making an extension in codegen. To add a new operator or a new fused kernel into AITemplate, most of the time one only needs to add two Python files: one for a graph node definition and another for the backend codegen. The CUDA/HIP kernel in a text header file can be directly utilized in the codegen.

## FX2AIT

FX2AIT is a Python-based tool that converts PyTorch models into AITemplate (AIT) engine for lightning-fast inference serving. Using FX2AIT's built-in AITLowerer, partial AIT acceleration can be achieved for models with unsupported operators in AITemplate.

Key features of FX2AIT include:

* Easy Conversion: FX2AIT requires only a PyTorch model and input for conversion, generating an "AITModule" output for inference serving.
* Expanded Support: AITemplate does not support all PyTorch operators. FX2AIT's AITLowerer offers a solution for partial AIT conversion for models with unsupported operators. Check the `fx2ait/fx2ait/example/03_lowering_split` for more information.

More info can be found from https://github.com/facebookincubator/AITemplate/tree/main/fx2ait.

## Installation

**Hardware requirements:**

- **NVIDIA**: AIT is only tested on SM80+ GPUs (Ampere etc). Not all kernels work with old SM75/SM70 (T4/V100) GPUs.
- **AMD**: AIT is only tested on CDNA2 (MI-210/250) GPUs. There may be compiler issues for old CDNA1 (MI-100) GPUs.

### Clone the code

When cloning the code, please use the following command to also clone the submodules:
```
git clone --recursive https://github.com/facebookincubator/AITemplate
```

### Docker Image

We highly recommend using AITemplate with Docker to avoid accidentally using a wrong version of NVCC or HIPCC.

- CUDA: `./docker/build.sh cuda`
- ROCM: `DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 ./docker/build.sh rocm`

This will build a docker image with tag `ait:latest`.

### From Source

The following command will create a Python wheel for AITemplate. Please ensure you have correct CUDA/ROCm compiler installed.

- CUDA: CUDA 11.6
- ROCm: We tested on ROCm 5.2.3 with a customized build HIPCC with the command in docker/Dockerfile.rocm#L87-L96

*Incorrect compiler will lead performance regression.*

**Please check all submodules are cloned correctly before go to next step.**

```
cd python
python setup.py bdist_wheel
pip install dist/*.whl --force-reinstall
```

## Getting Started

Check out the [AITemplate Documentation](https://facebookincubator.github.io/AITemplate) for API reference.

There are a few tutorials for onboarding:

- 01: [How to inference a PyTorch model with AIT](https://facebookincubator.github.io/AITemplate/tutorial/how_to_infer_pt.html)
- 02: [How to add an op to AIT codegen](https://facebookincubator.github.io/AITemplate/tutorial/how_to_add_op.html)
- 03: [How to visualize AIT's optimization](https://facebookincubator.github.io/AITemplate/tutorial/how_to_visualize.html)

## Examples & Performance

AITemplate provides the following model templates & reference performance data on A100/MI-250:

- [01_ResNet-50](examples/01_resnet-50/) with PyTorch Image Models (TIMM)
- [02_MaskRCNN-FPN](examples/02_detectron2/) with Detectron2
- [03_BERT](examples/03_bert/) with Hugging Face Transformer
- [04_Vision Transformer](examples/04_vit/) with PyTorch Image Models (TIMM)
- [05_Stable Diffusion](examples/05_stable_diffusion/) with Hugging Face Diffusers

## Release

All current development updates can be seen in the AITemplate repository. Releases are not on a set schedule and will only be tagged for significant feature releases.

Mid-term plan:

- Better dynamic shape support: Focus on the dynamic sequence in Transformers. Add symbolic shape support.
- More automatic graph passes: Relief manual rewrite models to obtain the best performance.
- Quantization: fp8/int8/int4.
- Sparsity pruning for Gemm.
- PT2 integration: Aten2AIT is under active development.

Long-term plan:

- Automatic ONNX, Open-XLA and other format model conversion.
- Composable Kernel CPU extension on AVX2/AVX-512 for AMD Epyc CPU.
