Hi All!
**Introduction:**
In this RFC, i like to propose an independent module inside TVM which will have
key responsibility towards handling all the deliverables from TVM
compiler(Relay Build) and offer an user friendly way to save, upload, reuse an
TVM compiled library.
**Motivation/Background:**
Recently i was into developing one new runtime for TVM. Where accidentally i
made a mistake while saving the output from relay.build(), basically library,
graph & parameters. Which took me in a debugging path into some portion of
code in TVM, anyway eventually i figured out what was the mistake. This lead me
to the mentioned idea.
My concern here is why user have to bother about certain file format, name
format to save and reuse the deliverables from TVM.
So based on the background i stated above, i want to introduce one universal
canonicalized file format for all the deliverables from TVM compilation
irrespective of the target types. So in short there will be always one single
file of one single format.
**Responsibilities/Requirements:**
So in order to achieve above mentioned goal, I have assigned certain
responsibilities or requirements to the Unique module.
1. File Package Management: Should have one in-built package manager which
performs the task of uniting all deliverables into one single deliverable.
2. Compression Support: Should be able to employ some lossless compression
on top of it, to save some storage.
3. Standardized Interfaces: To interact with TVM modules to perform saving
and loading of various deliverables.
4. Visualization Tool Support: This is optional.
Currently i can think of this much! So i am expecting on all TVM member expert
opinions to fine tune above requirements or responsibilities.
I have a naive design based on above information, but i feel it is too early to
state that here.
First i think we all should brainstorm on below points:
1. Whether the proposed module is helpful or required, so we pitch in to
development/design.
2. Curate all responsibilities under the module.
3. Most important, find a name for the module :smiley:.
