### Description
This PR introduces WebGPU IO binding. This new feature allows
onnxruntime-web users to use tensors created from GPU as model
input/output so that a model inferencing can be done without unnecessary
data copy between CPU and GPU for model input/output.
### Examples
An E2E demo/example is being worked on.
Following is some simple demo with code snippet.
Let's first check today how we do:
```js
// STEP.1 - create an inference session:
const mySession = await ort.InferenceSession.create('./my_model.onnx', { executionProviders: ['webgpu'] });
// STEP.2 - create model input: (supposing myImageCpuData is a Float32Array)
const feeds = {
'input_image:0': new ort.Tensor('float32', myImageCpuData, [1, 224, 224, 3])
};
// STEP.3 - run model
const myResults = await mySession.run(feeds);
// STEP.4 - get output data
const myData = myResults['output_image:0'].data; // Float32Array
```
#### for inputs (GPU tensor):
Now, with IO binding, you can create a tensor from a GPU buffer, and
feed it to the model:
```js
// new STEP.2.A - create model input from a GPU buffer: (supposing myInputGpuBuffer is a `GPUBuffer` object with input data)
const feeds = {
'input_image:0': ort.Tensor.fromGpuBuffer(myInputGpuBuffer, { dataType: 'float32', dims: [1, 224, 224, 3] })
};
```
### for outputs (pre-allocated GPU tensor)
you can also do that for output, **if you know the output shape**:
```js
// new STEP.2.B - create model output from a GPU buffer: (supposing myOutputGpuBuffer is a pre-allocated `GPUBuffer` object)
const fetches = {
'output_image:0': ort.Tensor.fromGpuBuffer(myOutputGpuBuffer, { dataType: 'float32', dims: [1, 512, 512, 3] })
};
// new STEP.3 - run model with pre-allocated output (fetches)
const myResults = await mySession.run(feeds, fetches);
```
### for outputs (specify location)
if you do not know the output shape, you can specify the output location
when creating the session:
```js
// new STEP.1 - create an inference session with an option "preferredOutputLocation":
const mySession = await ort.InferenceSession.create('./my_model.onnx', {
executionProviders: ['webgpu'],
preferredOutputLocation: "gpu-buffer"
});
```
if the model has multiple outputs, you can specify them seperately:
```js
// new STEP.1 - create an inference session with an option "preferredOutputLocation":
const mySession = await ort.InferenceSession.create('./my_model.onnx', {
executionProviders: ['webgpu'],
preferredOutputLocation: {
"output_image:0": "gpu-buffer"
}
});
```
now you don't need to prepare the `fetches` object and onnxruntime-web
will prepare output data on the location that specified.
#### read data
when you get the output tensor, you can:
```js
// get the gpu buffer object:
const gpuBuffer = myOutputTensor.gpuBuffer; // GPUBuffer
// get the CPU data asynchronizely
const cpuData = await myOutputTensor.getData();
// get the CPU data asynchronizely and release the underlying GPU resources
const cpuData = await myOutputTensor.getData(true);
// dispose the tensor (release the underlying GPU resources). This tensor object will be invalid after dispose() is called.
myOutputTensor.dispose();
```
#### resource management
JavaScript has GC so you don't need to worry about managing JavaScript
objects. But there are 2 types of resources that are not managed by GC:
- GPU buffer that used in tensors
- Underlying ORT native resources
To simplify, most of the unmanaged resources and handled inside ORT web.
But there are a few resources that need users to manage:
- All external GPU resources, including GPU buffers inside all tensors
created by `Tensor.fromGpuBuffer()`, will not be managed by ORT. User
should manage those GPU buffers themselves.
- When a session is created with `preferredOutputLocation` ==
"gpu-buffer" specified in session options, and the corresponding output
is not pre-allocated, user need to call the output tensor's `dispose()`
or `getData(true)` to manually release the underlying GPU buffers.
- ORT internal errors (including providing a pre-allocated output tensor
with wrong type/dims) will invalidate the whole wasm memory and is not
recoverable. An exception is thrown in this situation.
