This pull request introduces a comprehensive architectural document for Operator Fusion in TVM Relax, detailing the automatic fusion mechanism using post-dominator analysis, pattern-based fusion for external backends, and the TIR merging process. The documentation covers operator pattern classification, the multi-phase fusion algorithm, and provides a source code map for developers. A review comment suggests enhancing the documentation by mentioning that the maximum fusion depth limit is configurable via pass options.
| - **Reduction** (``kCommReduce``) ops never initiate fusion — they act as sinks only. Elementwise | ||
| and broadcast producers can fuse *into* a reduction, but a reduction cannot fuse forward. | ||
| - **Opaque** ops are fusion barriers. | ||
| - A group cannot exceed ``kMaxFusedOps`` (256) nodes or the maximum function argument count. |
