  • Show HN: Port of OpenAI's Whisper model in C/C++

    For the auto-differentiation when I need performance or memory, I currently use tapenade ( http://tapenade.inria.fr:8080/tapenade/index.jsp ) and/or manually written gradient when I need to fuse some kernel, but Enzyme ( https://enzyme.mit.edu/ ) is also very promising.

    MPI for parallelization across machines.

  • Do you consider making a physics engine (for RL) worth it?
    3 projects | /r/rust | 8 Oct 2022
    For autodiff, we are currently working again on publishing a new Enzyme (https://enzyme.mit.edu) Frontend for Rust which can also handle pure Rust types, first version should be done in ~ a week.
  • What is a really cool thing you would want to write in Rust but don't have enough time, energy or bravery for?

    Have you taken a look at enzymeAD? There is a group porting it to rust.
  • The Julia language has a number of correctness flaws
    19 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 16 May 2022
    Enzyme dev here, so take everything I say as being a bit biased:

    While, by design Enzyme is able to run very fast by operating within the compiler (see https://proceedings.neurips.cc/paper/2020/file/9332c513ef44b... for details) -- it aggressively prioritizes correctness. Of course that doesn't mean that there aren't bugs (we're only human and its a large codebase [https://github.com/EnzymeAD/Enzyme], especially if you're trying out newly-added features).

    Notably, this is where the current rough edges for Julia users are -- Enzyme will throw an error saying it couldn't prove correctness, rather than running (there is a flag for "making a best guess, but that's off by default"). The exception to this is garbage collection, for which you can either run a static analysis, or stick to the "officially supported" subset of Julia that Enzyme specifies.

    Incidentally, this is also where being a cross-language tool is really nice -- namely we can see edge cases/bug reports from any LLVM-based language (C/C++, Fortran, Swift, Rust, Python, Julia, etc). So far the biggest code we've handled (and verified correctness for) was O(1million) lines of LLVM from some C++ template hell.

    I will also add that while I absolutely love (and will do everything I can to support) Enzyme being used throughout arbitrary Julia code: in addition to exposing a nice user-facing interface for custom rules in the Enzyme Julia bindings like Chris mentioned, some Julia-specific features (such as full garbage collection support) also need handling in Enzyme.jl, before Enzyme can be considered an "all Julia AD" framework. We are of course working on all of these things (and the more the merrier), but there's only a finite amount of time in the day. [^]

    [^] Incidentally, this is in contrast to say C++/Fortran/Swift/etc, where Enzyme has much closer to whole-language coverage than Julia -- this isn't anything against GC/Julia/etc, but we just have things on our todo list.

    Idk, Enzyme is pretty next gen, all the way down to LLVM code.

  • What's everyone working on this week (7/2022)?
    15 projects | /r/rust | 14 Feb 2022
    I'm working on merging my build-tool for (oxide)-enzyme into Enzyme itself. Also looking into improving the documentation.
  • Trade-Offs in Automatic Differentiation: TensorFlow, PyTorch, Jax, and Julia

    that seems one of the points of enzyme[1], which was mentioned in the article.

    being able in effect do interprocedural cross language analysis seems awesome.

  • Enzyme: towards state-of-the-art AutoDiff in Rust
    2 projects | /r/rust | 11 Dec 2021
    Enzyme is an LLVM (incubator) project, which performs automatic differentiation of LLVM-IR code. Here is an introduction to AutoDiff, which was recommended by @DoogoMiercoles in an earlier post. You can also try it online, if you know some C/C++: https://enzyme.mit.edu/explorer.
  • Oxide-Enzyme: Integrating LLVM's Static Automatic Differentiation Plugin
    3 projects | /r/rust | 30 Nov 2021
    To give a little bit of context here, this is a Rust frontend for Enzyme itself, which is a leading Auto-Diff tool. The key advantage is that unlike most of the existing tools it does generate gradient functions after applying a lot of (LLVM's) optimizations, which leads to very efficient gradients (benchmarks here: https://enzyme.mit.edu/). Working on LLVM level also allows it to work across language barriers. Finally it is also the first AD library to support generic AMD-HIP / NVIDIA-CUDA code and works also with OpenMP and MPI. https://c.wsmoses.com/papers/EnzymeGPU.pdf I have intentions to add rayon support, since that is more likely to be used on our Rust side :)
  • Cerebras’ New Monster AI Chip Adds 1.4T Transistors
    4 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 22 Apr 2021
    The answer is an API, like NNAPI. AD is a frontend concern and doesn't really matter to accelerators.

    For AD, I am bullish for Enzyme, which does AD on LLVM IR, avoiding deep compiler integration: https://enzyme.mit.edu/
