This change adds a new execution provider powered by [DirectML](https://aka.ms/DirectML).
DirectML is a high-performance, hardware-accelerated DirectX 12 library for machine learning on Windows. DirectML provides GPU acceleration for common machine learning tasks across a broad range of supported hardware and drivers.
The DirectML execution provider is capable of greatly improving evaluation time of models using commodity GPU hardware, without sacrificing broad hardware support or requiring vendor-specific extensions to be installed.
**Note** that the DML EP code was moved verbatim from the existing WindowsAI project, which is why it doesn't yet conform to the onnxruntime coding style. This is something that can be fixed later; we would like to keep formatting/whitespace changes to a minimum for the time being to make it easier to port fixes from WindowsAI to ORT during this transition.
Summary of changes:
* Initial commit of DML EP files under onnxruntime/core/providers/dml
* Add cmake entries for building the DML EP and for pulling down the DirectML redist using nuget
* Add a submodule dependency on the Windows Implementation Library (WIL)
* Add docs under docs/execution_providers/DirectML-ExecutionProvider.md
* Add support for DML EP to provider tests and perf tests
* Add support for DML EP to fns_candy_style_transfer sample
* Add entries to the C ABI for instantiating the DML EP
Remove gsl subodule and replace with a local copy of gsl-lite
Refactor for onnxruntime::make_unique
gsl::span size and index are now size_t
Remove lambda auto argument type detection.
Remove constexpr from fail_fast in gsl due to Linux not being happy.
Comment out std::stream support due to MacOS std lib broken.
Move make_unique into include/core/common so it is accessible for server builds.
Relax requirements for onnxruntime/test/providers/cpu/ml/write_scores_test.cc
due to x86 build.
Add ONNXRUNTIME_ROOT to Server Lib includes so gsl is recognized
Added Sample Featurizer and Infrastructure
Make featurizers and unit tests compile and run with GTest.
Create definitions for the first featurizer kernel.
Add new operator domain.
Create datetime_transformer kernel and build.
Move OPAQUE types definitions for featurizers kerneles out to a separate cc.
Register them with the type system.
Provide unit tests for new AutoML DateTimeTransformer kernel.
Make necessary adjustments to the test infrastructure to make it run
with new types.
* Test protobuf-lite
* Test protobuf-lite
* Test protobuf-lite
* Optimize protobuf usage for LITE_RUNTIME to reduce the binary size of
onnxruntime.dll. More details can be found here https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/proto.
The reduction is significant. For commit id: 4873b452151bafe49da332aaeab639ef0318fc1ca28d728, the size
reduced by ~700K; from 4873728 to 4172800.
* Add LITE_RUNTIME flag in in.proto files
* Fix merge conflict.
* Address PR comments
* Forgot to add 2 files + fix linux and gpu build errors.
* Fix build errors + test failures
* Fix cuda tests
* Fix tensor rt build
* Use full protobuf for trt
* Address PR comments
* Print tensor shape proto as text string for easier debugging
