It seems that fused axis can't be auto tuned directly?

My code as follows:
A = tvm.placeholder((batchsize, N, L), name='A', dtype=dtype)
B = tvm.placeholder((L, M), name='B', dtype=dtype)

k = tvm.reduce_axis((0, L), name='k')
C = tvm.compute((batchsize, N, M), lambda b, i, j: tvm.sum(A[b, i, k] * B[k, j], axis=k), name='C')
s = tvm.create_schedule(C.op)

# schedule
bb, yy, x = s[C].op.axis
y = s[C].fuse(bb,yy)
k = s[C].op.reduce_axis[0]

##### define space begin #####
cfg = autotvm.get_config()
cfg.define_split("tile_y", y, num_outputs=2)
cfg.define_split("tile_x", x, num_outputs=2)

Here y is a fused axis, and erros occur as follows:
return self._add_new_transform(SplitSpace, name, axes, policy, **kwargs)

factors = get_factors(length)

list.add, ([i, n//i] for i in range(1, int(math.sqrt(n)) + 1, step)
ValueError: math domain error

y is a type of iter_var(b.i.fused, ), not iter_var(j, Range(min=0, extent=4096)). It seems that fused axis can’t be auto tuned directly.

Yes. We cannot get the length of a fused axis during scheduling time.

You can use

cfg.define_split("tile_y", cfg.axis(bb.dom.extent.value * yy.dom.extent.value), num_outputs=2)

Can this be modified in TVM?

It is not easy, because the length computation can be complicated after fuse, split.
