<p>As described in <a class="reference internal" href="fluid.html"><span class="doc">fluid.md</span></a>, when a Fluid application program
runs, it generates a <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">ProgramDesc</span></code> protobuf message as an intermediate
representation of itself.  The C++ class <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Executor</span></code> can run this
protobuf message as an interpreter.  This article describes the Fluid
compiler.</p>

<span id="transpilers"></span><h2>Transpilers<a class="headerlink" href="#transpilers" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>We can write a transpiler program that takes a <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">ProgramDesc</span></code>, e.g.,
the above one, and outputs another <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">ProgramDesc</span></code>.  Let us take some
examples:</p>
<ol class="simple">
<li><em>Memory optimization transpiler</em>: We can write a transpiler that
inserts some <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">FreeMemoryOp</span></code>s in the above example <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">ProgramDesc</span></code> so
to free memory early, before the end of an iteration, so to keep a
small memory footprint.</li>
<li><em>Distributed training transpiler</em>: We can write a transpiler that
converts a<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">ProgramDesc</span></code> into its distributed version of two
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">ProgramDesc</span></code>s &#8211; one for running by the trainer processes and the
other for the parameter server.</li>
</ol>
<p>In the rest of this article, we talk about a special kind of
transpiler, <em>Native code generator</em>, which takes a <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">ProgramDesc</span></code> and
generates a <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">.cu</span></code> (or <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">.cc</span></code>) file, which could be built by C++
compilers (gcc, nvcc, icc) into binaries.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="native-code-generator">
<span id="native-code-generator"></span><h2>Native Code Generator<a class="headerlink" href="#native-code-generator" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>For the above example, the native code generator transpiler, say, the
CUDA code generator, should generate a <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">main</span></code> function:</p>
<div class="highlight-c++"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="kt">void</span> <span class="nf">main</span><span class="p">()</span> <span class="p">{</span>
  <span class="k">auto</span> <span class="n">X</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">fluid_cuda_read</span><span class="p">(...);</span>
  <span class="k">auto</span> <span class="n">W</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">fluid_cuda_create_tensor</span><span class="p">(...);</span>
  <span class="k">auto</span> <span class="n">Y</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">fluid_cuda_mult</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">X</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">W</span><span class="p">);</span>
<span class="p">}</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>and the definitions of functions <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">fluid_cuda_read</span></code>,
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">fluid_cuda_create_tensor</span></code>, and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">fluid_cuda_mult</span></code>.  Please be aware
that each function could just define a C++ instance of an operator and
run it.  For example</p>
<div class="highlight-c++"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">paddle</span><span class="o">::</span><span class="n">Tensor</span> <span class="n">fluid_cuda_read</span><span class="p">(...)</span> <span class="p">{</span>
  <span class="n">paddle</span><span class="o">::</span><span class="n">Tensor</span> <span class="n">t</span><span class="p">;</span>
  <span class="n">paddle</span><span class="o">::</span><span class="k">operator</span><span class="o">::</span><span class="n">Read</span> <span class="n">r</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="o">&amp;</span><span class="n">t</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="p">...);</span>
  <span class="n">r</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="n">Run</span><span class="p">();</span>
  <span class="k">return</span> <span class="n">t</span><span class="p">;</span>
<span class="p">}</span>
