Optimize CpuGemmConv2d start-up time
When weight has no holes, we can replace CpuWeightsReshapeKernel with:
- Collapse by reinterpreting weight's 3 spatial dimensions
- Perform CpuTranspose
For more details see the documentation in
src/cpu/operators/CpuGemmConv2d.cpp
This is one optimization since the CpuTranspose is better performing
than CpuWeightsReshapeKernel
A second optimization is to fuse this transpose with other weight
transformations (e.g. pretranspose_B_array in CpuGemmAssemblyDispatch)
However this second optimization depends on how the underlying gemm
methods (the fall back path: CpuGemmMatrixMultiplyKernel or the assembly
path: CpuGemmAssemblyDispatch) chooses to fuse the transpose.
Therefore, this patch moves the transpose down from CpuGemmConv2d, to
the individual gemm operators where the fusion decision needs to be
made, by passing an extra "transpose_b" flag to CpuGemm
New transpose_b flag in different scopes (they are all the same, but
with different names because pretranspose_b has a different meaning in
GemmAssemblyDispatch):
GEMMInfo::pretranspose_B -> AsmGemmInfo::transpose_b
New auxilliary tensors holding the transposed b result:
- CpuGemm optimized path: CpuGemmAssemblyDispatch::PrePretransposedB
- CpuGemm fallback path: CpuGemm::PreTransposedRHS
Note that this patch does not yet have the second optimization
(COMPMID-6595), but it prepares for it.
