TVM CI

TVM runs CI jobs on every commit to an open pull request and to branches in the apache/tvm repo (such as main). These jobs are essential to keeping the TVM project in a healthy state and preventing breakages.

Jenkins

Jenkins runs all of the linux-based TVM CI-enabled regression tests. This includes tests against accelerated hardware such as GPUs. It excludes those regression tests that run against hardware not available in the cloud (those tests aren't currently exercised in TVM CI). The tests run by Jenkins represent most of the merge-blocking tests (and passing Jenkins should mostly correlate with passing the remaining Windows/Mac builds).

GitHub Actions

GitHub Actions is used to run Windows jobs, MacOS jobs, and various on-GitHub automations. These are defined in .github/workflows. These automations include bots to:

• cc people based on subscribed teams/topics
• allow non-committers to merge approved / CI passing PRs
• add cc-ed people as reviewers on GitHub
• ping languishing PRs after no activity for a week (currently opt-in only)
• push a last-successful branch to GitHub with the last main commit that passed CI

https://github.com/apache/tvm/actions has the logs for each of these workflows. Note that when debugging these workflows changes from PRs from forked repositories won't be reflected in the PR. These should be tested in the forked repository first and linked in the PR body.

Jenkins CI

TVM uses Jenkins for running Linux continuous integration (CI) tests on branches and pull requests through a build configuration specified in a Jenkinsfile. Other jobs run in GitHub Actions for Windows and MacOS jobs.

Jenkinsfile

The template files in this directory are used to generate the Jenkinsfile used by Jenkins to run CI jobs for each commit to PRs and branches.

To regenerate the Jenkinsfile, run

python3 -mvenv _venv
_venv/bin/pip3 install -r ci/jenkins/requirements.txt
_venv/bin/python3 ci/jenkins/generate.py

Infrastructure

While all TVM tests are contained within the apache/tvm repository, the infrastructure used to run the tests is donated by the TVM Community. To encourage collaboration, the configuration for TVM‘s CI infrastructure is stored in a public GitHub repository. TVM community members are encouraged to contribute improvements. The configuration, along with documentation of TVM’s CI infrastructure, is in the tlc-pack/ci repo.
