I am trying to understand more about the auto-scheduler, and the output from the Ansor tuning process.
If I examine the output JSON from tuning, I see a series of transformation that have been learned as an autoschedule, e.g.: ``` ["SP", 2, 24, 3, [3], 1], ["RE", 2, [0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 1, 5, 9, 13, 17, 20, 22, 24, 2, 6, 10, 14, 18, 21, 23, 25, 3, 7, 11, 15, 19]], ["FSP", 3, 0, 1, 2], ``` I am trying to understand what each of these transformations do, and what their relatied parameters are. I can't find them explicitly mentioned in the [Ansor paper](https://www.usenix.org/conference/osdi20/presentation/zheng), though they are enumerated in [include/tvm/auto_scheduler/transform_step.h](https://github.com/apache/tvm/blob/main/include/tvm/auto_scheduler/transform_step.h). I have compiled what I think is a complete list. - AN: AnnotationStep - FU: FuseStep - PR: PragmaStep - RE: ReorderStep - SP: SplitStep - FSP: FollowSplitStep - FFSP: FollowFusedSplitStep - SA: StorageAlignStep - CA: ComputeAtStep - CI: ComputeInlineStep - CR: ComputeRootStep - CHR: CacheReadStep - CHW: CacheWriteStep - RF: RfactorStep However, there does not seem to be clear high-level documentation on their purpose, parameters, or examples of their advantages. Are there resources available that could help me understand, or could some of the developers comment? Has it been discussed in the various PRs? I am interested enough to make an effort of improving the documentation myself, but I would rather have a starting point beyond looking at the code. --- [Visit Topic](https://discuss.tvm.apache.org/t/explanation-of-autoscheduler-transform-steps/9512/1) to respond.
