IBM releases open source machine learning compiler. World's first open source machine learning compiler.
IBM is one of those companies that I admire. Through the years, IBM has done quite lot to promote Open Source and provide quite a big list of projects in the community.
"IBM just released Milepost GCC, 'the world's first open source machine learning compiler.' The compiler analyses the software and determines which code optimizations will be most effective during compilation using machine learning techniques. Experiments carried out with the compiler achieved an average 18% performance improvement. The compiler is expected to significantly reduce time-to-market of new software, because lengthy manual optimization can now be carried out by the compiler. A new code tuning website has been launched to coincide with the compiler release. The website features collaborative performance tuning and sharing of interesting optimization cases."
