Description
This PR adds an explicit stream type (
stream<T>
) in the Allo-MLIR dialect to replace the original memref implementation. Specifically, three operations are added:allo.stream_construct()
: Create a new stream objectallo.stream_get(%stream)
: Get data from a streamallo.stream_put(%stream, %data)
: Put data into a streamThe dataflow interface uses these operations to construct the IR. Now it can support declaring an array in a stream, which may be useful for DMA transmission. Also, we added codengen support to the HLS backend to generate these operations using
hls::stream
