Python can be used for many types of graphs.
This package is for CUDA Graphs, so wouldn't "PyCudaGraph" be a better name?
The lack of a readily available, installable package (pip install pygraph - has no relation to this paper as far as i can tell) makes it difficult to fully assess the reproducibility and practical applicability of the work.
why request code.. when all of pytorch2 is open, and this is built on top of it with some enhancements, why not put this out in the open
I think that might be just a feature of the catalyzex platform for papers with no linked code yet that might internally add a +1 to code requested on their db and thats it
some times papers come out a few weeks before code when its bleeding edge
This is neat, although it would be nice to see it merged into PyTorch instead of just a paper :) The key seems to be (beyond "obvious" optimizations like not running graphs that are measured to be slower) is that graphs "bake-in" parameters and if those change then the graph needs to be thrown away. The solution is indirecting more, so that what gets captured is a pointer that can remain constant, while the data behind it is changed. This also saves the need to copy in and out of a graph-captured buffer because you can just swap out the pointer instead. Of course there is overhead to this approach (I don't think the authors actually explore this much) in that you throw away information (divisibility, for example) that would allow for constructing better kernels, but often this is still worth it. (Or you could pass this through too.)
Something worth exploring later would be getting better support for the rest of CUDA graphs into PyTorch, like conditional nodes.
Nice to see work by IISc show up on HN.
Uday Bondhugula, the lead developer of Pluto framework for polyhedral comp. is also at IISc, whose group has spun out a startup,

There’s a request code button here: https://www.catalyzex.com/paper/pygraph-robust-compiler-supp...

Nice to see IISc support cool stuff like this (incl. their ArtPark initiative.)
I don't see any source code.
