RAF is a deep learning compiler for training. Unlike existing DLCs, RAF accepts a forward model and in-house generates a training graph. Accordingly, RAF is able to systematically consolidate graph optimizations for performance, memory and distributed training. In addition, to catch up to the state-of-the-art performance with hand-crafted kernel libraries as well as tensor compilers, RAF proposes an operator dialect mechanism to seamlessly integrate all possible kernel implementations.
