Introducing TY-NNP backend with end2end TensorIR integration

it seems like this could either be integrated into ci-cpu or as a separate ci- image, so long as the binaries are publicly available. do you have an estimate of the size of the docker image? also, just for my curiosity, would you be able to share a rough timeline of when you’d like to land this?

If a separate image is possible (it can be based on ci-cpu), we may prefer it since future upgration will not bother the ci-cpu’s usages. The incremental file sizes would be as below:

• LLVM: x86+device target build is about 140M, some libLLVM* maybe unused
• Other toolchains: full toolchain binaries will occupy 500M, simulator only binaries can control down to <100M
• Test models (like torch resnet50): if they are available in general CI environments, can be reused

I am sorry to fail to give an exact landing timeline now . we are now working to make the open-source branch ready (along with dependencies) in the first quarter, but it depends on the progress of legalization on open-source issues.
