Vollo Compiler

The Vollo compiler is made up of 2 Python libraries:

  • The vollo-torch PyTorch frontend to the compiler.
  • The vollo-compiler backend that can transform and compile a model to a Vollo program (.vollo file).

The Vollo Runtime section describes how to run a Vollo program on a Vollo accelerator. The Vollo compiler API also includes functionality to simulate and estimate performance of Vollo programs.

API Reference

This chapter walks through examples of how to use the Vollo compiler that should cover the most commonly used parts of the API.

A more complete API reference can be found here.

Installation

Set up Vollo environment variables by sourcing setup.sh in bash.

Install the wheel files for the Vollo compiler libraries. It's recommended that you install these into a virtual environment.

Note: the packaged wheels only support python 3.7 or greater

python3 -m venv vollo-venv
source vollo-venv/bin/activate
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install "$VOLLO_SDK"/python/*.whl
