The previous implementation of initial population sampling treats a state as valid as long as we didn't encounter any problem when applying the initial population rules. However, it's possible that all states outputted by this phase cannot successfully either be lowered, extract features, or pass the GPU code verification (due to invalid thread number or memory usage). In this case, the evo search is trapped in a set of invalid states and it's inefficient for it to find a valid point.
In this PR, we improved the initial population sampling to perform the same process as we did in the evo search. Specifically, all states have to be lowered and estimated to make sure they are valid. Note that this will also increase the time of sampling initial population. Here is an example log of tuning a forward conv2d (last layer in ResNet) on Nvidia T4 for 64 trials:
In addition, this PR also separates the size of sampling initial population from the size of population in evolutinary search as we don't need too many random sampled candidates. The size of initial population is set to 50 by default.
