[circle-opselector] Support --exclude-by-id option

[dayo09]

What?

I found out some LM models are very big and includes too many unused outputs. However, our internal NPU backend compiler don't support 16+ outputs. To remove some unused outputs from LM Models, circle-opselector is very useful, but it doesn't support 'exclusion by id' functionality. I wish the function is supported.

I tried circle-opselector to remove those unused outputs by splitting numbers, like below.

num="1-59,61-81,83-185,187-207,209-311,313-333,335-437,439-2000" # to exclude 60, 82, 186, ...
circle-opselector --by_id "${num}" $PREFIX.circle $PREFIX.${num}.circle

If circle-opselector had --exclude_by_id(please, suggest me any better name for this option) option or so, it would be much easier.

circle-opselector --by_id "1-2000" --exclude_by_id "60,82,186,..." ...

I will assign myself to tackle this issue, if others agree with its necessity.

I've heard that you're looking for a tool that selects outputs. Maybe we can make a new option like --output_id, which removes the current outputs and creates outputs for given node ids.

@jinevening Thanks. Like you said, I tried to remove output nodes from the graph and it didn't work well.

To be specific, I look forward to these functionalities.

• Remove node by id
• Remove output by id
• Find bridge node lists
  • bridge node here means the node whose removal disconnects the graph. (bottleneck node)
    • Where we usually select to divide the graph.
