[GitHub] [incubator-mxnet] jinboci opened a new issue #18716: [RFC] Use TVMOp with GPU & Build without libcuda.so in CI

jinboci opened a new issue #18716:
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/issues/18716


   ## Problem 1: TVMOp doesn't work well with GPU builds [#17840](https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/issues/17840)
   
   ### The error message:
   
   ```python
   >>> import mxnet as mx
   >>> x = mx.np.array([[0, 1], [1, 1], [2, 2]], ctx=mx.gpu())
   >>> idx = x < 2
   >>> x[idx]
   Traceback (most recent call last):
     File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
     File "/home/ubuntu/Documents/mxnet/python/mxnet/numpy/multiarray.py", line 1013, in __lt__

   mxnet.base.MXNetError: Traceback (most recent call last):
     File "../3rdparty/tvm/src/runtime/module.cc", line 125
     File "../3rdparty/tvm/src/runtime/library_module.cc", line 94
   TVMError: Check failed: ret == 0 (-1 vs. 0) : Check failed: f != nullptr: Cannot find function less_scalar_gpufloat32_2bool_2_kernel0 in the imported modules or global registry
   ```
   
   ### Root cause:
   
   In [mxnet/contrib/tvmop/compile.py](https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/blob/master/contrib/tvmop/compile.py), only `function_binary` `(llvm Module)`is saved in `libtvmop.so`. The `imported_modules` `(cuda Module)`is not saved. So TVM cannot import any gpu functions and cannot find `less_scalar_gpufloat32_2bool_2_kernel0.`
   
   ```python
   (Pdb) func_binary
   Module(llvm, 55d7ce519d48)
   (Pdb) func_binary.imported_modules[0]
   Module(cuda, 55d7c7a09818)
   ```
   
   ### Solution ([Github PR](https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/18678)):
   
   * Save `imported_modules[0]` to `libtvmop.cubin:`
   * Define `Import` function (using `TVMOpModule->Import` ):
   * Import `cubin_module` to `global_module`:
   * Outputs:
   
   ```python
   >>> import mxnet as mx
   >>> x = mx.np.array([[0, 1], [1, 1], [2, 2]], ctx=mx.gpu())
   [10:19:41] ../src/base.cc:80: cuDNN lib mismatch: linked-against version 7605 != compiled-against version 7501. Set MXNET_CUDNN_LIB_CHECKING=0 to quiet this warning.
   [10:19:41] ../src/base.cc:84: Upgrade advisory: this mxnet has been built against cuDNN lib version 7501, which is older than the oldest version tested by CI (7600). Set MXNET_CUDNN_LIB_CHECKING=0 to quiet this warning.
   >>> idx = x < 2
   >>> x[idx]
   array([0., 1., 1., 1.], ctx=gpu(0))
   ```
   
   ## Problem 2: CI Checks: libcuda.so does exist on the machine builds mxnet
   
   ### The error message:

   ```
   
   ### Root cause:
   
   The unix-gpu machine that **builds** mxnet does not have libcuda.so
   
   ### Solution 1:
   
   Link `libtvm.so` with `stub/libcuda.so` on the machine that **builds** CI Checks.
   
   ### Solution 1 Pros/Cons/Workloads:
   
   * **Pros**: Solve the issue easily.
   * **Cons**: Violates the effort of removing `libcuda.so` totally, (would be great if someone can elaborate the motivation behind it).
   * **Workloads**: ~1 week
   
   ### Solution 2 (Possible) ([Github PR](https://github.com/jinboci/incubator-tvm/pull/2)) :
   
   TVM links libcuda.so because it invokes CUDA driver API during runtime. While these functions are not executed during compile-time. Therefore it is possible to remove them for compile-only purpose. 
   I have made a prototype to remove the linkage of libcuda.so from libtvm.so:
   
   * Set `target_link_libraries` of tvm and tvm_runtime differently. (CMakeLists.txt)
   * Set an variable `CUDA_COMPILE_ONLY` to be `ON` to indicate “Building libtvm.so without libcuda.so” (CMakeLists.txt)
   * When `CUDA_COMPILE_ONLY` is `ON`, add compilation definition `-DCUDA_COMPILE_ONLY` (CMakeLists.txt)
   * When `CUDA_COMPILE_ONLY` is defined (when compiling libtvm.so), ignore any cuXXX CUDA Driver API functions: (cmake/modules/CUDA.cmake, src/runtime/cuda/cuda_common.h, src/runtime/cuda/cuda_device_api.cc, src/runtime/cuda/cuda_module.cc)
   
   ### Solution 2 Pros/Cons/Workloads:
   
   * **Pros**: Not depend on libcuda.so
   
   * **Cons**: After unlinking libtvm.so with libcuda.so, the CI checks still cannot pass. [GPU CUDA RTC](http://jenkins.mxnet-ci.amazon-ml.com/blue/organizations/jenkins/mxnet-validation%2Funix-gpu/detail/PR-18678/8/pipeline) (When `-DUSE_TVM_OP=ON`) outputs the error message:

   ```
   
   It seems unlinking `libcuda.so` from `libtvm.so` is not enough and we should also unlink `libcuda.so` from `libtvm_runtime.so`. However, `libtvm_runtime` does require `libcuda.so` during runtime. if we remove the linkage on build instances, `tvm_runtime` is not able to run on test instances.
   In order to fully address the problem, we have two options,
   
   1. Build two versions of tvm, one links `libcuda.so` for compiling the tvm operators; another does not link `libcuda.so` which will be transferred to test instances for tvmop tests.
   2. We do `dlopen(“libcuda.so”)` in tvm.
   
   * **Workloads**: 
       * option 1: ~1 week to modify tvm, 1.5-2 weeks modify CI
       * option 2: ~2 weeks to modify tvm
       * Both options require big surgery on TVM, thus contributing back to upstream tvm might be difficult. Moreover, there’s also risk that tvm community would push back our suggestion. Even though they agree to do so, it might cost ~2 weeks to upstream the changes, and another ~1.5 weeks to sync mxnet’s tvm with updated apache/tvm.
   
   ## Proposal:
   
   Given the fact that it might take another 4 - 6 weeks to fully address the CI problem, we propose to,
   
   * Submit the fix for problem 1.
   * Link stub/libcuda.so and enable 1 instance for testing. If this is not acceptable, can we keep disabling the tvmop CI for now as it is not an essential component?
   * Open an issue/RFC in MXNet and TVM to track the remaining problems.
   
   * * *
   
   ## Comments:
   
   Also, When setting `-DUSE_TVM_OP=OFF` [the CI checks would be stuck](http://jenkins.mxnet-ci.amazon-ml.com/blue/organizations/jenkins/mxnet-validation%2Funix-gpu/detail/PR-18678/10/pipeline). The output of GPU CUDA RTC looks like:

   > Violates the effort of removing libcuda.so totally, (would be great if someone can elaborate the motivation behind it).
   
   Many customers use a single mxnet build that supports gpu features and deploy it to both gpu and cpu machines. Due to the way how cuda containers are designed, libcuda.so won't be present on the cpu machines. That's why it's better to dlopen(cuda) only once needed. This not only affects tvmop but als nvrtc feature in mxnet.
   
   Using the stubs is a workaround for using dlopen, but adds additional requirements for modifying the LD_LIBRARY_PATH on users cpu machines. That's not always feasible for users and for mxnet 1.6, which introduced nvrtc, users typically just disable the nvrtc feature to be able to deploy the libmxnet.so to both cpu and gpu machines. 
   
   Why not fix the underlying problem and then enable tvmop feature?
   
   > Also, When setting -DUSE_TVM_OP=OFF the CI checks would be stuck. 
   
   That doesn't make sense as we are running CI successfully with tvm op disabled since a couple of months? Maybe you ran into some unrelated flakyness and need to retrigger the run?

   I'm fine to disable tvm op (or mark it as experimental) for now, if it does need another 4 - 6 weeks to fully address the underlying problem, as we have some more urgent tasks on numpy side.

   Instead of linking tvm to mxnet, can we use TVM to generate source code and test as custom c++ operator?
