Thanks @comaniac! > 2. Is that possible to move the pass before partitioning but after merge compiler region (like `PruneTesnorRTCompilerRegion`)? After the merge compiler region pass you should get the Relay graph with almost the same semantic as partitioning. If you could have a pass checking each compiler region for your constraints, you can probably just remove the region you don't want, so that you should get only valid partitioned functions. Hmm, this seems like it would make the job of the `PruneTensorRTSubgraph` pass much more difficult. `PartitionGraph` already takes care of collecting the inputs and outputs of a subgraph and additional processing such as making sure there are no duplicate outputs. If `PruneTesnorRTCompilerRegion` was before `PartitionGraph`, it would have to duplicate a lot of that work. The idea of the pruning pass is that we should present each backend with the final subgraph exactly as it would be when it is passed to the codegen and the backend should decide if it is valid or not. Are you concerned about the overhead of partitioning a subgraph which would be later discarded? Btw just for referece, here is the general implementation of PruneSubgraph that I originally implemented: https://github.com/trevor-m/tvm/commit/06015a4617cfaad56adcaa0c71b485d6bd711128 > 3. Can the TensorRT version be obtained via an API call in C++? Something like `tensorrt::get_version()`? If so you can register a global symbol and pass the version to Python so that it can be used by the annotator. If you need manually set up the TensorRT version, then it could be like this: Let user specify it in `config.cmake` and we pass the value to a macro in C++ so that you could simply return the value. The drawback of this solution is that it needs to rebuild TVM to annotate different TensorRT versions, and I'm not sure if that makes sense to you. I have already created an API to retrieve the TRT version if TVM is compiled with the TRT runtime enabled. However, one of our use cases is to use TVM on a CPU-only instance to cross-compile models. For that use case, we want to be able to target compilation for different TRT versions - this affects the partitioning rules mostly. I don't think having to rebuild TVM for each target version will be a good solution. Is it possible for my annotation functions to access the pass context and therefore a TRT config that I will be adding as @masahi suggested? I don't see any other python code accessing the PassContext though... ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
