Phoronix: Glow: An LLVM Optimizing Compiler For Neural Networks

The latest interesting use of the LLVM compiler infrastructure stack is for Glow, a machine learning / neural network optimizing compiler...

Apparently you can now get away with assumption that machine learning == keras, despite some objectively useful approaches do not even use linear algebra...

The optimizations glow ir was created to perform sound suprisingly similar to what Mir (rustc ) does

Is coaster like glow but piggybacking on rusts compiler ?

This is similar to Intel's nGraph and Nvidia's TensorRT, which first had Tensorflow support. Nvidia's still ahead..

Lack of good OpenCL support for various open source machine learning toolkits has been the biggest barrier to entry for me.

I am *not* giving up my stable open source graphics just to run CUDA.

fuzz i recommend using keras with the plaid ml backend

Thanks for the recommendation . You convinced me to install Ubuntu 18.04 to get working opencl and finally start learning this stuff.
