tt.call (triton::CallOp)

Call operation

Syntax:

operation ::= `tt.call` $callee `(` $operands `)` attr-dict `:` functional-type($operands, results)

The tt.call operation represents a direct call to a function that is within the same symbol scope as the call. The operands and result types of the call must match the specified function type. The callee is encoded as a symbol reference attribute named “callee”.

Example:

%2 = tt.call @my_add(%0, %1) : (f32, f32) -> f32

tt.func (triton::FuncOp)

An operation with a name containing a single SSACFG region

Operations within the function cannot implicitly capture values defined outside of the function, i.e. Functions are IsolatedFromAbove. All external references must use function arguments or attributes that establish a symbolic connection (e.g. symbols referenced by name via a string attribute like SymbolRefAttr). An external function declaration (used when referring to a function declared in some other module) has no body. While the MLIR textual form provides a nice inline syntax for function arguments, they are internally represented as “block arguments” to the first block in the region.

Only dialect attribute names may be specified in the attribute dictionaries for function arguments, results, or the function itself.

Example:

// External function definitions.
tt.func @abort()
tt.func @scribble(i32, i64, memref<? x 128 x f32, #layout_map0>) -> f64

// A function that returns its argument twice:
tt.func @count(%x: i64) -> (i64, i64)
  attributes {fruit: "banana"} {
  return %x, %x: i64, i64
}

// A function with an argument attribute
tt.func @example_fn_arg(%x: i32 {swift.self = unit})

// A function with a result attribute
tt.func @example_fn_result() -> (f64 {dialectName.attrName = 0 : i64})

// A function with an attribute
tt.func @example_fn_attr() attributes {dialectName.attrName = false}

tt.return (triton::ReturnOp)

Function return operation

Syntax:

operation ::= `tt.return` attr-dict ($srcs^ `:` type($srcs))?

The tt.return operation represents a return operation within a function. The operation takes variable number of operands and produces no results. The operand number and types must match the signature of the function that contains the operation.

Example:

tt.func @foo() : (i32, f8) {
  ...
  tt.return %0, %1 : i32, f8
}

reinterpret a tensor to a different shape.

If efficient_layout is set, this is a hint that the destination layout should be kept for performance reason. The compiler is still free to change it for better performance.

tt.trans (triton::TransOp)

Rearrange the dimensions of a tensor

Syntax:

operation ::= `tt.trans` $src attr-dict `:` type($src) `->` type($result)

For example, given a tensor x with shape [1,2,4], transpose(x) with order=[2,0,1] rearranges the tensor to have shape [4,1,2].

Although this op is called “trans”, it implements both tl.trans() and tl.permute(). (“permute” might be a better name, but it’s called “trans” because originally it only supported 2D tensors.)

Implementation note on encodings:

In the TritonGPU dialect (and probably others), an encoding is chosen for this op’s output so it’s a nop from the perspective of code generation.

For example, suppose tensor x has an encoding such that GPU thread [i,j,k] has a register containing element [i,j,k] of the tensor. Now we transpose x with order [2,1,0], i.e. we reverse the order of its dimensions. In TritonGPU, we will choose a layout for the output of the transpose so that GPU thread [i,j,k] has element [k,j,i] of transpose(x). But this is the same element it had before! All we’ve done is “rename” the element that thread [i,j,k] has.

The “real” transpose – i.e. moving data between GPU threads – occurs in convertLayout ops that appear before and/or after the operation.

We do this so that you can chain multiple data-movement ops (e.g. transpose+reshape+concat) without going to shared memory after each one.
