Microsoft has introduced a suite of four new artificial intelligence compilers named Rammer, Roller, Welder, and Grinder. Developed by Microsoft Research in collaboration with academic institutions, these compilers are designed to optimize the performance of AI models on hardware accelerators like GPUs.
Each of these compilers addresses specific challenges in optimizing AI workloads:
- Rammer maximizes hardware parallelism to enhance performance by reducing runtime scheduling overhead through improved utilization of parallel resources.
- Roller accelerates compilation by using a fast construction algorithm to generate optimized kernels quickly, simplifying the design process for efficient AI programs.
- Welder reduces memory access traffic by connecting operators in a concentrated pipeline, unifying memory optimizations for greater efficiency.
- Grinder enables control-flow execution on accelerators by integrating it with data flow, allowing optimization across control flow boundaries.
Microsoft’s introduction of these AI compilers reflects its commitment to advancing AI technology and infrastructure. These compilers have shown significant performance improvements compared to existing solutions in benchmark testing, which could provide a competitive edge as AI workloads become increasingly complex.

, an independent military force, and allied militias in Sudan raped several dozen women and girls in West Darfur’s capital, El Geneina, and those fleeing to Chad between late April and late June 2023, Human Rights Watch said today. The assailants appear to have targeted people because of their Massalit ethnicity and, in some cases, because they were known activists.){kind=link}
