HPVM v1.0 released
HPVM ("heterogeneous parallel
virtual machine") is a compiler for targets like GPUs and FPGAs based on
LLVM; the 1.0 release is available now. "This release is a major addition to our first release (version 0.5),
adding support for linear algebra tensor operations, Pytorch and
Keras frontends, approximations for convolution operators, and an
efficient and flexible framework for approximation tuning. Our novel
approximation-tuner automatically selects approximation knobs for
individual tensor operations and selects configurations that maximize
a (configurable) performance objective."
