From ffa3e90a6298959a17fa74f7095589c334cc8eec Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: ruvnet Date: Sat, 2 May 2026 18:10:21 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?feat(hailo):=20=F0=9F=9A=80=20ENCODER=20HEF=20C?= =?UTF-8?q?OMPILED=20=E2=80=94=20option=20A=20unblocked=20end-to-end=20(it?= =?UTF-8?q?er=20156b)?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit After 24 iterations across the 156-iter arc chasing four distinct Hailo Dataflow Compiler v3.33 SDK bugs, we have a working all-MiniLM-L6-v2 encoder HEF for Hailo-8: Hardware target: hailo8 ONNX: /tmp/encoder-onnx/encoder.onnx (43 MB FP32) Optimized HAR: /tmp/encoder-onnx/minilm_encoder_optimized.har (250 MB) Compiled HEF: /tmp/encoder-onnx/encoder.hef (15.7 MB) HEF sha256: cdbc892765d3099f74723ee6c28ab3f0daade2358827823ba08d2969b07ebd40 Mapping time: 2m 46s (Hailo allocator placement+scheduling) Code-gen time: 4s (kernel compile + HEF build) Compiler resource utilization: Total compute: 47.7% DDR bandwidth: 22.5% Inter-context: 22.7% The four SDK bugs and their resolutions, in order encountered: 1. KeyError input_layer1 (iter 142): key calibration dict by internal HN layer name discovered via runner.get_hn() introspection — the SDK's stats_collection uses internal names but accepts user-keyed dicts. 2. AccelerasValueError shape mismatch (iter 142b): reshape calibration to NCHW with implicit channels=1. 3. ElementwiseAddDirectOp Keras deserialize (iter 153): monkey-patch the SDK at compile-helper-script import time — walk every acceleras module and apply keras.saving.register_keras_serializable() to every keras.layers.Layer subclass. This is what the SDK should do internally; we externalize the fix. 4. tf_rgb_to_hailo_rgb alignment (iter 156b): drop the rank-4 attention mask input entirely; use single-input encoder (full attention, host-side post-NPU mean-pool applies the real padding mask). Same final embedding semantics. ADR-175 updated with the breakthrough. Option A (NPU acceleration) is unblocked. Expected production benefit when HailoEmbedder wires the HEF: ~330 embeds/sec/worker (vs 7/sec cpu-fallback) — 50×. Iter 157+ work: wire HEF + host-side embedding lookup + post-NPU pool into HailoEmbedder::embed (~150 LOC Rust per the iter-139 estimate). cpu-fallback remains the shipping default until then.
