HPVM-C Language

Host API

void __hpvm__init()
Used before all other HPVM calls to initialize the HPVM runtime.

void __hpvm__cleanup()
Used at the end of HPVM program to clean up all remaining runtime-created HPVM objects.

void __hpvm__cleanup()
Used at the end of HPVM program to clean up all remaining runtime-created HPVM objects.

void llvm_hpvm_track_mem(void* ptr, size_t sz)
Insert memory starting at ptr of size sz in the memory tracker of HPVM runtime.

void llvm_hpvm_untrack_mem(void* ptr)
Stop tracking the memory object identified by ptr.

void llvm_hpvm_request_mem(void* ptr, size_t sz)
If the memory object identified by ptr is not in host memory, copy it to host memory.

void* __hpvm__launch(unsigned isStream, void* rootGraph, void* args)
Launches the execution of the dataflow graph with node function rootGraph. args is a pointer to a packed struct, containing one field per argument of the RootGraph function, consecutively. For non-streaming DFGs with a non empty result type, args must contain an additional field of the type RootGraph.returnTy, where the result of the graph will be returned. isStream chooses between a non streaming (0) or streaming (1) graph execution. Returns a handle to the executing graph.

void __hpvm__wait(void* G)
Waits for completion of execution of the dataflow graph with handle G.

void __hpvm__push(void* G, void* args)
Push set of input data items, args, (same as type included in launch) to streaming DFG with handle G.

void* __hpvm__pop(void* G)
Pop and return data produced from one execution of streaming DFG with handle G.

Internal Node API

void* __hpvm__createNodeND(unsigned dims, void* F, ...)
Creates a static dataflow node replicated in dims dimensions (0 to 3), each executing node function F. The arguments following F are the size of each dimension, respectively, passed in as a size_t. Returns a handle to the created dataflow node.

void* __hpvm__edge(void* src, void* dst, unsigned replType, unsigned sp, unsigned dp, unsigned stream)
Creates an edge from output sp of node src to input dp of node dst. If replType is 0, the edge is a one-to-one edge, otherwise it is an all-to-all edge. isStream defines whether or not the edge is streaming. Returns a handle to the created edge.

void __hpvm__bindIn(void* N, unsigned ip, unsigned ic, unsigned isStream)
Binds the input ip of the current node to input ic of child node function N. isStream defines whether or not the input bind is streaming.

void __hpvm__bindOut(void* N, unsigned op, unsigned oc, unsigned isStream)
Binds the output op of the current node to output oc of child node function N. isStream defines whether or not the output bind is streaming.

void __hpvm__hint(enum Target target) (C) / void __hpvm__hint(hpvm::Target target) (C++)
Must be called once in each node function. Indicates which hardware target the current function should run in

void __hpvm__attributes(unsigned ni, …, unsigned no, …)
Must be called once at the beginning of each node function. Defines the properties of the pointer arguments to the current function. ni represents the number of input arguments, and no the number of output arguments. The arguments following ni are the input arguments, and the arguments following no are the output arguments. Arguments can be marked as both input and output. All pointer arguments must be included.

Leaf Node API

void __hpvm__hint(enum Target target) (C) / void __hpvm__hint(hpvm::Target target) (C++)
As described in internal node API.

void __hpvm__attributes(unsigned ni, …, unsigned no, …)
As described in internal node API.

void __hpvm__return(unsigned n, ...)
Returns n values from a leaf node function. The remaining arguments are the values to be returned. All __hpvm__return statements within the same function must return the same number of values.

void* __hpvm__getNode()
Returns a handle to the current leaf node.

void* __hpvm__getParentNode(void* N)
Returns a handle to the parent node of node N.

long __hpvm__getNodeInstanceID_{x,y,z}(void* N)
Returns the dynamic ID of the current instance of node N in the x, y, or z dimension respectively. The dimension must be one of the dimensions in which the node is replicated.

long __hpvm__getNumNodeInstances_{x,y,z}(void* N)
Returns the number of dynamic instances of node N in the x, y, or z dimension respectively. The dimension must be one of the dimensions in which the node is replicated.

void __hpvm__barrier()
Local synchronization barrier across dynamic instances of current leaf node.

void* __hpvm__malloc(long nBytes)
Allocate a block of memory of size nBytes and returns a pointer to it. The allocated object can be shared by all nodes, although the pointer returned must somehow be communicated explicitly for use by other nodes.

int __hpvm__atomic_add(int* m, int v)
Atomically adds v to the value stored at memory location [m]. Returns the value previously stored at [m].
