Add Python Programming Example #590
Conversation
WIP: First steps toward build/run on npu for python example. Builds but does not run yet. test.ccp is not correct but it is now running on the device. Also removed lit files for now while I debug wip: small progress test is running now, but does not check values in a meaningful way 'make run' now passes with a meaningful check!

| This is the cleanest and simplest method of running MLIR-AIR code on NPUs, and uses code in the [run.py](run.py) file. |

This might be a little generic, it doesn't really describe what is happening: compile + run/verify

Good point! I elaborated quite a bit in a recent commit. Can you double check that what I wrote is precise/correct/understandable?
I wasn't sure how much to put for explanation, as I think this is just an example and not part of a programming guide. But maybe that thinking is wrong?

I know this is cut and paste, and probably useful, but I'll note we don't really have any windows support in mlir-air.
Yup. However I would like it to become not experimental and have the pass pipeline work with all the examples and tests. |
Add a python programming example that is checked end-to-end by the CI workflow. This example includes multiple workflows for how to run the code (defined using AIR python bindings) on an NPU.
To support some of the additional passes used in test/xrt (including those for dependencies), I added a new argument,
--experimental, toaircc.py, which will run those additional passes. It works on my example but I suspect that this will need to be changed/updated as more examples are made but I believe what I have is a reasonable starting point.To simplify the example, I also added a wrapper around the python
dma_memcpy_ndfunction to supply default values and allow the caller to use python integers.
