The proposal is for a BoF on GCC and AI, with the goal of opening up discussion on:
- Current and emerging use cases where GCC intersects with AI/ML workloads, including compiler optimisations for AI kernels.
- Challenges in supporting AI accelerators and heterogeneous compute through GCC.
- Open questions for the community: to what extent should GCC evolve in this area, and where should external tooling take the lead?
The idea is to bring together community members interested in this intersection of GCC and AI, share experiences, and identify where GCC could play a meaningful role.
