主讲人简介：
Zheng Wang is Professor of Intelligent Software Technology at the School of Computer Science at the University of Leeds. He is internationally known for his work in incorporating machine learning into compilation technology. His research has been successfully transferred into industry (ARM, IBM, Meta, TurinTech AI, Tencent, Alibaba, and Codasip) and the LLVM open-source compiler. He has received eight best paper awards and a test of time award from premier international conferences.
内容简介：
Compilers are a crucial component of our computing software stack. A compiler translates the high-level source code to low-level machine instructions to run on the underlying hardware. Despite their significance, compilers have changed little over the past few decades. They are constrained by a myriad of sub-optimal choices initially devised to work around the constraints of computers designed 30 years ago. In this talk, I will present some of the award-winning work conducted by my group in using machine learning to make it easier to build efficient and reliable compilers for modern computing hardware. Our work showcases how machine learning can massively reduce human involvement in developing compilers, enabling compilers to catch up with the ever-changing hardware and helping identify errors during compiler development.
