The title was unnecessarily editorialized?
The actual title is "Compiler Auto-Vectorization with Imitation Learning". It is currently titled "MIT researchers develop new technique to generate compiler optimizations [pdf]". Please don't do this.
- charmen 7y agoThe MIT news article is about the original performance prediction work, which is an important piece for future reinforcement learning-based approaches. (https://github.com/ithemal/Ithemal https://github.com/ithemal/Ithemal http://proceedings.mlr.press/v97/mendis19a.html http://proceedings.mlr.press/v97/mendis19a.html). The imitation learning approach is a step towards how to automate the development of compiler algorithms. Note that we are not merely tuning heuristics, we learn the entire optimization algorithm.
