  • 2009.September.25 - New CFP for SMART'10 workshop co-located with HiPEAC'10 conference in Pisa, Italy is now available. Prof. Keith Cooper from Rice University kindly agreed to give a keynote talk.
  • 2009.September.22 - Congratulations to Dr.Christophe Dubach who has won a presitigious BCS/CPHC Distinguished Dissertation Award for his thesis "Using Machine-Learning to Efficiently Explore the Architecture/Compiler Co-Design Space" supervised by Prof. Michael O'Boyle. This topic is related to cTuning technology!
  • 2009.August.12 - Grigori will be away until the end of September so it may happen that there will be long delays in replying...
  • 2009.July.22 - Grigori Fursin is a co-organizer of SMART'10 and GROW'10 workshops that will be co-located with HiPEAC'10 conference in Pisa, Italy at the end of January, 2009. You are warmly invited to submit your novel research results and developments to our workshops! At the websites of these workshops you can find all information about topics, PC, deadlines and submission procedures.
  • 2009.July.08 - The preprint of a paper "Collective Tuning Initiative: automating and accelerating development and optimization of computing systems" describing cTuning infrastructure is now available online (Fur2009).
  • 2009.June.26 - The pdf of the paper that describes Collective Tuning Infrastructure and cTuning concept (presented at the GCC Summit'09) will be available in a few weeks here.
  • 2009.June.17 - We participated in discussions to include plugin system similar to ICI to mainline GCC for a long time and finally GCC 4.5 will feature a low-level plugin system. We are now synchronizing high-level ICI/MILEPOST with the mainline to be able to reuse all our available plugins. We also develop several new plugins within Google Summer of Code'2009 to enable XML representation of the compilation flow, fine-grain program optimizations and instrumentation, automatic tuning of optimization heuristic based on machine learning, and function-level run-time adaptation. Comparison of GCC low-level and high-level ICI plugins is available here. The ICI development and discussions mailing list is available here.
  • 2009.June.10 - Extended version of the "Collective Optimization" paper has been accepted for ACM Transactions on Architecture and Code Optimization (TACO)
  • 2009.June.01 - After nearly 1 year of developments we released/updated all our open-source collaborative R&D tools:
    • fully redesigned and documented Interactive Compilation Interface v2.0 for GCC 4.4.0 synchronized with the official plugin GCC branch - transforming compilers into plugin-enabled research toolsets
    • MILEPOST GCC 4.4.0 pre-release version at SVN - automating program optimization and compiler optimization heuristic tuning using machine learning
    • Continuous Collective Compilation Framework v2.0 - enabling automatic collaborative program optimization based on statistical and machine learning techniques
    • Collective Benchmark/MiDataSets v1.0 - enabling realistic program optimization research and benchmarking using multiple open-source programs/datasets.

      We also updated Collective Optimization Database with various optimization cases for Intel and AMD processors and comparison of different compilers including GCC, LLVM, Open64, Intel, etc - enabling sharing and reuse of optimization knowledge.

      We would like to thank cTuning community for feedback, help and support! You are welcome to join this community effort to automate program optimization and compiler/architecture design.
  • 2009.April.27 - Grigori gave a talk at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign about Collective Tuning Initiative and MILEPOST project ("Collective Optimization, run-time adaptation and machine learning"). Presentation is available here. We would like to thank all the UIUC colleagues for a very interesting and useful feedback.
  • 2009.April.23 - Preview version of optimization predictor based on static program features and machine learning (to improve program execution time, code size, etc) is now available on-line. It is an on-going project, so please be patient. Comments are welcome!
  • 2009.April.21 - Several projects to enable automatic fine-grain program optimization and run-time adaptation in GCC using iterative compilation and machine learning (based on our cTuning/UNIDAPT/ICI/MILEPOST technology) have been accepted by the Google Summer of Code. You are welcome to join cTuning community and follow or participate in the developments using cTuning dedicated mailing lists.
  • 2009.Mar.29 - Intel just made an announcement about "An Intelligent Approach to IT Challenges" which shares some of our vision. There is still no collective optimization and machine learning but it's already a good motivation for our work!..
  • 2009.Mar.27 - Dear friends! After long redevelopments I finally re-opened Collective Tuning Website. It is still in the testing stage - you are welcome to leave your positive or negative feedback. You can subscribe for cTuning mailing lists. Finally, if you find cTuning website useful, please leave your comments here. I would like to thank everyone who contributed to this project so far and hope that you will join our effort!
    Yours, Grigori Fursin.
