Events organized by the cTuning foundation

We regularly organize cTuning-related events to evangelize collaborative, systematic and reproducible R&D in computer engineering, experiment crowdsourcing (such as customizable and multi-objective autotuning using our Collective Knowledge Framework) as well as our open publication model. In such model, all experimental results and research artifacts (code and data) are continuously shared, discussed, validated and improved by the community. If you are interested to participate, co-organize, sponsor such events or invite our speakers for your events, don't hesitate to contact us!
