Simple noob example for AOT android

[ko-work]

Hi! Thanks for your work.

I would like to use Taichi with android. Based on the tests I am trying to create a very simple initial example, but I am getting all zeros.

taichi commit 52b24f3

I have built android taichi with the scripts/build-taichi-android.sh (-DTI_WITH_VULKAN=ON).

Here is the code:

app.py

import numpy as np
import taichi as ti

ti.init(arch=ti.vulkan)
v_arr = np.zeros(100).astype(np.float32)

@ti.kernel
def update_values(v: ti.types.ndarray(ndim=1)):
    for i in range(100):
        v[i] = 15

m = ti.aot.Module()
m.add_kernel(update_values, template_args={"v": v_arr})
m.archive("update_values.tcm")

app.cpp

#include <taichi/cpp/taichi.hpp>

int main(int argc, const char** argv) {
  uint32_t N = 100;
  ti::Runtime runtime(TI_ARCH_VULKAN);
  ti::AotModule aot_mod = runtime.load_aot_module("update_values.tcm");
  ti::Kernel k_run = aot_mod.get_kernel("run");

  ti::NdArray<float> v_array =
      runtime.allocate_ndarray<float>({N}, {}, true);
    
  k_run.push_arg(v_array);
  k_run.launch();
  runtime.wait();

  float *res = reinterpret_cast<float *>(v_array.map());
  for (int i = 0; i < N; ++i) {
    std::cout << res[i];
  }
  v_array.unmap();

  return 0;
}

• build: cmake --build build -j 4
• upload and run:

DEVICE_PATH=/data/local/tmp/taichi2
DEVICE_ENV="LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${DEVICE_PATH}:/vendor/lib64"
adb shell mkdir -p ${DEVICE_PATH}
adb push libtaichi_c_api.so ${DEVICE_PATH}
adb push update_val ${DEVICE_PATH}
adb shell ${DEVICE_ENV} ./${DEVICE_PATH}/update_val

the log of running python and cmake:

On device in the folder there is the so and the executable.

The output:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. ./update_val
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

The result is the same with cpu gles and vulkan (changed in both python and cpp)

I forgot to upload tcm archive

And I was using inconsistent architectures which caused bad keys when reading the module did not see at first in the log, also module names were wrong.

here is an updated example just in case someone would came across this
