Docker environment for operator kernel development on Ascend NPU

Build image

Prepare installer (example for 910B)

cd installers
wget https://ascend-repo.obs.cn-east-2.myhuaweicloud.com/CANN/CANN%208.2.RC1/Ascend-cann-toolkit_8.2.RC1_linux-x86_64.run
wget https://ascend-repo.obs.cn-east-2.myhuaweicloud.com/CANN/CANN%208.2.RC1/Ascend-cann-kernels-910b_8.2.RC1_linux-x86_64.run
wget https://ascend-repo.obs.cn-east-2.myhuaweicloud.com/CANN/CANN%208.2.RC1/Ascend-cann-nnal_8.2.RC1_linux-x86_64.run
# could also download during docker build, but too big, better download manually

(link obtained from https://www.hiascend.com/developer/download/community/result?module=pt+cann&pt=7.1.0&cann=8.2.RC1)

Put installer under ./installers dir so that Dockerfile can find it.

Then build image:

# under top dir
sudo docker build . -t torch_npu_cann:8.2.RC1 \
     -f dockerfiles.x86/dockerfile.torch_npu_cann

Test run

Run built-in examples

sudo docker run --rm -it --ipc=host --privileged \
    --device=/dev/davinci2 --device=/dev/davinci3 \
    --device=/dev/davinci_manager \
    --device=/dev/devmm_svm \

# C++ examples
cd /installers/catlass/build/bin
./00_basic_matmul 256 512 1024 0  # should get "Compare success."
./06_optimized_matmul 256 512 1024 0
./12_quant_matmul 256 512 1024 0

python ../../examples/19_mla/gen_data.py 1 1 128 16 16 128 half
./19_mla 1 1 128 16 16 128 --dtype half --datapath ../../examples/19_mla/data --device 0

# Torch examples
cd /installers/catlass/examples/python_extension/tests
pytest -v test_python_extension.py -k "test_basic_matmul"

Should get:
