Need advice to study tvm

[denis]

I am new to tvm and I study tvm for two weeks by going through the tutorial, but I find it hard to understand it.
How much time did you spend on the tutorial usually? Please give me some advice.

Hi @denis, I find the MLC online lectures an excellent resource for getting started with machine learning compilation and TVM.

MLC: Open Course on Machine Learning Compilation

Dear community: We are glad to share that this summer, we will be building MLC, an open lecture series on machine learning compilation. As the field of machine learning compilation evolves, there has yet been a systematic material introducing this topic. Because this is the first of its kind, there are still quite a few things to be explored together with the community. We will aim to share the lessons learnt through multiple years, and explore these topic together with the community. Please …

the MLC online lectures

Hi @yuchenj ,
Actually, I try the lectures and find it more difficult than tvm tutorial.
I think it will be better to finish the tutorial first. Thanks anyway.

The tutorial is out-dated IMO and it’s better to start with MLC (which assumes no prerequisite about TVM), the discussion thread of MLC is still active and you can post your questions there.

Hi @denis, I think it depends on your goal.

If you want try auto-tuning a model in TVM, specific tutorials will guide you to do it step by step. If you want to have a full picture of the machine learning compilation area and understand how TVM works under the hood, MLC is certainly a good resource to start with. And as @yzh119 said, it only has python and numpy as prerequisites but does not assume prerequisites about TVM.
