Fix Plan

To address the issue of Flashinfer compiling for an extended period without logging, we can implement a simple logging mechanism.

• Add a logging statement at the beginning of the compilation process to indicate its start.
• Implement a progress bar using a library like tqdm to track the compilation progress.
• Add periodic logging statements throughout the compilation process to provide updates on its status.

Example Code

import logging
from tqdm import tqdm

# Set up logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)

# Start of compilation process
logging.info("Compilation started")

# Example compilation process with progress bar
for i in tqdm(range(100), desc="Compiling"):
    # Simulate compilation work
    import time
    time.sleep(0.1)

# End of compilation process
logging.info("Compilation completed")

Verification

To verify that the fix worked, run the compilation process and observe the logs. You should see a log indicating the start of compilation, a progress bar tracking the compilation progress, and a log indicating the completion of compilation.

Extra Tips

• Adjust the logging level and frequency according to your needs.
• Consider using a more advanced logging library like loguru for more features and flexibility.
• Make sure to test the logging mechanism thoroughly to ensure it works as expected in different scenarios.
