TileFlow

This repo is an extension to timeloop to support more general simulation of tensor programs.

Install

1. install required software/libs

sudo apt install scons libconfig++-dev libboost-dev libboost-iostreams-dev libboost-serialization-dev libyaml-cpp-dev libncurses-dev libtinfo-dev libgpm-dev git build-essential python3-pip

2. install tileflow

git clone --recursive [email protected]:pku-liang/TileFlow.git
cd TileFlow
export TILEFLOW_BASE=$(pwd)

# build timeloop
cd 3rdparty/timeloop/src
