TornadoVM 1.1.0

[jjfumero]

Improvements

#620: Support of computation with mixed precision FP16 to FP32 for matrix operations.
#622: New API to allow buffer mapping between two different buffers on the hardware accelerator.
#624: Enhanced TornadoVM profiler with correct information for the UNDER_DEMAND transfer to host data.
#627: New feature to persist data on the hardware accelerator, and consume data already allocated on the hardware accelerator.
#630: Support for atomics using the kernel API for OpenCL and PTX backends.
#636: TornadoVM bytecode logging improved.
#642: Math functions extended: acosh and asinh supported for OpenCL and SPIR-V.
#645: Memory deallocations improved. Action by default when closing the TornadoExecutionPlan resource.

Compatibility

#625: Documentation to build on RISC-V updated.
#632: Add maven build with Single thread.
#633: Add tests for running multiple task graphs with different grid schedulers.
#638: Add tests to check force copy in buffers and persist buffers on the hardware accelerator.
#640: Rename XPUFuffer to FieldBuffer for all backends.
#649: Update the fast mode to live mode for testing.
#654: Add loop condition test in white list.

Bug Fixes

#626: Fix data accessors when using the UNDER_DEMAND transfer to host innovation from the task-graph.
#628: Device filtering API fixed to use device type and device names.
#635: Update nodes for local memory to be subtype of ValueNode instead of ConstantNode in the TornadoVM IR.
#639: Fix subgraph execution when combining with the GridScheduler.
#644: Fix TornadoVM execution frame setter.
#646: Fix shared memory buffers across task-graphs when no new allocation is present as new parameters for the following task-graphs.
#647: Fix UNDER_DEMAND invocation for the batch processor mode and read-write arrays.
#651: Fix memory mapping regions for the PTX Backend.
#653: Object repetition with shared buffers on ON_DEVICE bytecodes.

How to build

Select the backend/s you want.

## To enable all backends
./bin/tornadovm-installer --jdk jdk21 --backend=opencl,spirv,ptx

## To enable just OpenCL
./bin/tornadovm-installer --jdk jdk21 --backend=opencl

## To enable just OpenCL and SPIRV
./bin/tornadovm-installer --jdk jdk21 --backend=opencl, spirv

# etc.

hi，i am a student want to use to learn tornado vm，i need a builed version and it can only download then use it。

hi @KNEMinecraftLauncher, unfortunately TornadoVM is not currently distributed as binary. We are working on it. In the mean time, you can use the tornadovm-installer utility as shown above to install TornadoVM. This utility will automatically download the dependencies (e.g., the defined JDK, mvn) and build it with a selected backend (e.g., opencl, ptx, spirv) for Linux, macOS and Windows.

Alternatively, you can use the docker images (if you are on a Linux system, or a system that enables GPU passthrough). This link may be helpful in this case.
