## Changes * Call `encode_execute()` upon resize in `VulkanBackend.cpp` * Minor update to `DispatchNode` to store push constant data array as a persistent member of the class ## Motivation Passing in tensor metadata (i.e. sizes, strides) via push constants is typically more performant than passing them via a UBO (uniform buffer object). However, currently dynamic shapes do not work when push constants are used as I realized that the tensor metadata contained in the push constants do not get updated. It appears that that `vkCmdPushConstants` sets the push constants when encoding the command buffer, however the push constants will not be updated if the command buffer is submitted for execution multiple times. Therefore, to update push constant values **the command buffer needs to be re-encoded**. ## Performance Impact This may add a small performance overhead (i.e. re-encoding the command buffer) when executing models with dynamic shapes. Models that do not trigger tensor resizing will not be impacted. However, I measured the impact on a llama 3.2 1B model and the impact of re-encoding a command buffer appears to be negligible. In any case, re-encoding the command buffer is a "necessary evil" when working with dynamic shapes, otherwise the tensor metadata seen by shaders may never get updated. Furthermore, re-encoding the command buffer can allow an opportunity to adjust global work group sizing to match current tensor sizes, which may have a huge performance impact when maximum tensor sizes far exceeds what tensor sizes will realistically be during inference (one instance of this is for transformer models when the max sequence length is very long).

encode_execute()upon resize inVulkanBackend.cppDispatchNodeto store push constant data array as a persistent member of the classMotivation
Passing in tensor metadata (i.e. sizes, strides) via push constants is typically more performant than passing them via a UBO (uniform buffer object). However, currently dynamic shapes do not work when push constants are used as I realized that the tensor metadata contained in the push constants do not get updated.
It appears that that
vkCmdPushConstantssets the push constants when encoding the command buffer, however the push constants will not be updated if the command buffer is submitted for execution multiple times. Therefore, to update push constant values the command buffer needs to be re-encoded.Performance Impact
This may add a small performance overhead (i.e. re-encoding the command buffer) when executing models with dynamic shapes. Models that do not trigger tensor resizing will not be impacted.
However, I measured the impact on a llama 3.2 1B model and the impact of re-encoding a command buffer appears to be negligible.

Furthermore, re-encoding the command buffer can allow an opportunity to adjust global work group sizing to match current tensor sizes, which may have a huge performance impact when maximum tensor sizes far exceeds what tensor sizes will realistically be during inference (one instance of this is for transformer models when the max sequence length is very long).
