Description

This PR rewrite the backend resolve logic to support specifying multiple EPs.

Backend

The first version of ONNX Runtime Web actually carried some existing code from ONNX.js, which includes the "backend" concept. The original "backend" in ONNX.js is designed in a way assuming there is only one backend from user's backend hint list will be used. For example, in ONNX.js, if user specify a backend hint as ['webgl', 'wasm'], ONNX.js will first try to use WebGL backend - if it loads successfully (the browser supports webgl), then "webgl" backend will be used and "wasm" will be ignored; otherwise, "webgl" will be ignored and try to load "wasm" backend.

In short: only one backend will be used when initializing a session.

Execution Provider

Execution Provider, or EP, in ONNX Runtime is a different concept. One of the differences is that users are allow to specify multiple EPs, and if one does not support a particular kernel, it can fallback to other EP. This is a very common case when using a GPU EP in ONNX Runtime.

Current Status: Backend v.s. EP

Because of the history reasons mentioned above, the current status is quite confusing. There are real backends, which means it's different implementation in code; and there are backend hints, which are used as string names for backend hint; and there are EPs of the ONNX Runtime concepts.

currently there are only 2 backends in our code base: The "onnxjs backend", and the "wasm backend". The "onnxjs backend" currently only powers backend hint "webgl", which go into the old onnx.js code path. All other backend hints including "wasm", "cpu"(alias to wasm), "webgpu" and "webnn" are all powered by "wasm backend".

And because ORT Web treat "backend" as an internal concept and want to align with ONNX Runtime, so those names of backend hints are becoming EP names.

The following table shows today's status:

Execution Provider Name (public) / Backend Hint (internal) Backend EP in ORT
"wasm"/"cpu" WasmBackend CPU EP
"webgl" OnnxjsBackend * technically not an EP
"webgpu" WasmBackend JSEP
"webnn" WasmBackend WebNN EP

Problem

While the API allows to specify multiple EPs, the backend resolving only allows one backend. This causes issues when user specify multiple EP names in session options, the backend resolve behavior and EP registration behavior is inconsistent. Specifically, in this issue: #15796 (comment):

EP list ['webgpu', 'wasm'] on a browser without WebGPU support resolves to 'wasm' backend, but the full EP list is passed in session options, so JSEP is still enabled, causing the runtime error.

Solution

Since we still need WebGL backend, we cannot totally remove the backend register/resolve system. In this PR I made the following changes:

  • initialize every backend from the EP list, instead of only do that for the first successful one.
  • for the first resolved backend, filter all EP using the exact same backend. Remove all EPs not using this backend from session options
  • for every explicitly specified EP, if it's removed, show a warning message in console

### Description

This PR rewrite the backend resolve logic to support specifying multiple
EPs.

#### Backend

The first version of ONNX Runtime Web actually carried some existing
code from [ONNX.js](https://github.com/microsoft/onnxjs), which includes
the "backend" concept. The original "backend" in ONNX.js is designed in
a way assuming there is only one backend from user's backend hint list
will be used. For example, in ONNX.js, if user specify a backend hint as
`['webgl', 'wasm']`, ONNX.js will first try to use WebGL backend - if it
loads successfully (the browser supports webgl), then "webgl" backend
will be used and "wasm" will be ignored; otherwise, "webgl" will be
ignored and try to load "wasm" backend.

In short: only one backend will be used when initializing a session.

#### Execution Provider

Execution Provider, or EP, in ONNX Runtime is a different concept. One
of the differences is that users are allow to specify multiple EPs, and
if one does not support a particular kernel, it can fallback to other
EP. This is a very common case when using a GPU EP in ONNX Runtime.

#### Current Status: Backend v.s. EP

Because of the history reasons mentioned above, the current status is
quite confusing. There are **real backend**s, which means it's different
implementation in code; and there are **backend hint**s, which are used
as string names for backend hint; and there are **EP**s of the ONNX
Runtime concepts.

currently there are only 2 **backend**s in our code base: The "onnxjs
backend", and the "wasm backend". The "onnxjs backend" currently only
powers backend hint "webgl", which go into the old onnx.js code path.
All other backend hints including "wasm", "cpu"(alias to wasm), "webgpu"
and "webnn" are all powered by "wasm backend".

And because ORT Web treat "backend" as an internal concept and want to
align with ONNX Runtime, so those names of backend hints are becoming EP
names.

The following table shows today's status:

| Execution Provider Name (public) / Backend Hint (internal) | Backend |
EP in ORT
| -------- | ------- | ------- |
| "wasm"/"cpu" | WasmBackend | CPU EP
| "webgl" | OnnxjsBackend | \* technically not an EP
| "webgpu" | WasmBackend | JSEP
| "webnn" | WasmBackend | WebNN EP

#### Problem

While the API allows to specify multiple EPs, the backend resolving only
allows one backend. This causes issues when user specify multiple EP
names in session options, the backend resolve behavior and EP
registration behavior is inconsistent. Specifically, in this issue:
microsoft#15796 (comment):

EP list `['webgpu', 'wasm']` on a browser without WebGPU support
resolves to 'wasm' backend, but the full EP list is passed in session
options, so JSEP is still enabled, causing the runtime error.


#### Solution

Since we still need WebGL backend, we cannot totally remove the backend
register/resolve system. In this PR I made the following changes:
- initialize every backend from the EP list, instead of only do that for
the first successful one.
- for the first resolved backend, filter all EP using the exact same
backend. Remove all EPs not using this backend from session options
- for every explicitly specified EP, if it's removed, show a warning
message in console
