July 16, Tues, 9-10 am PT OpenXLA Monthly Community meeting

[Aditi Joshi]

Hi folks,

We have our OpenXLA July Community meeting happening next Tuesday, July 16, 9-10 am PT. We already have🎉 Intel 🎉 presenting "CPU Quantization Support in XLA".  The presentation proposes integrating Intel Neural Compressor quantization capabilities into XLA, enabling efficient execution of quantized TensorFlow models on CPU and addressing the limitations of the current TensorFlow-only approach.

If anyone else wants to present, please let me know by Monday morning, July 15.  In order to see the Community monthly meeting on your calendar, you need to have accepted the meeting invite when I sent it out last month. Remember that we have a new GVC meeting code found in the meeting doc. 

And a friendly reminder to please complete the OpenXLA documentation feedback survey before July 19th.  We would love your feedback.  

Thanks so much,

Aditi

Hi everyone,

This is a friendly reminder that we have our OpenXLA monthly meeting tomorrow from 9-9:45 am PT (Google Meet link: meet.google.com/fri-gdhe-ufu). We have two topics to cover (slides here):

1. CPU Quantization Support in XLA w/Intel

The presentation proposes integrating Intel Neural Compressor quantization capabilities into XLA, enabling efficient execution of quantized TensorFlow models on CPU and addressing the limitations of the current TensorFlow-only approach.

2. Shardy launch (presented by Google DeepMind and Google CoreML teams)

Shardy will have improved debugging tools to understand where/why something happened during propagation and more ways to modify propagation through configurability of the propagation algorithm (priority of ops, conflict resolution strategies, etc). It will also be dialect agnostic allowing for Shardy to run any MLIR dialect of your choice.

Also, a friendly reminder to please complete the OpenXLA documentation feedback survey before July 19th.  We would love your feedback.  

See you all tomorrow!

Best,

Aditi

Hi everyone,

Quick reminder that we have our monthly OpenXLA Community meeting happening tomorrow, Aug 20, from 9-9:30 am PT. Please note the new Google Meet link that we have been using for last two months: meet.google.com/fri-gdhe-ufu 

We have two agenda items:

• [20 min] Aligning StableHLO/TOSA Quantization Arithmetic (Google/ARM co-presenting). The presentation proposes means to define the arithmetic operation of StableHLO to allow implementation via TOSA operators, enabling implementation of fully quantized networks on systems without floating-point hardware.
• [10 min] Stable HLO Community Updates

Thank you so much,
Aditi

Hi folks,

A quick reminder that our September OpenXLA Community meeting is tomorrow, Sept 24, from 9-9:30 am PT.  Here is our Google Meet link: meet.google.com/fri-gdhe-ufu 

OpenXLA had a great showing at the PyTorch Conference last week including the OpenXLA booth where we gave out the highly coveted OpenXLA t-shirts and the overview PDF. 🎉Both were gone like hot cakes in a matter of hours. :) 🎉 In the spirit of open source, Google hosted an OpenXLA reception that was open to all and we had a completely full house at Ghirardelli Square.  🥳Thanks to the community members who attended. 🤩I loved meeting all of you in person again. 

We will do a deeper dive on the PyTorch conference during our October community meeting. Please reach out to me if you have any topics you want to cover next month, especially those related to PyTorch. 

Our agenda for tomorrow is the following: 

1. [15 min] HLO Composites

2. [15 min] HLO Componentization

Thanks to those who responded so quickly about their interest in attending another stellar OpenXLA DevLabs. We will most likely have it during the second week of November. More info will follow in the coming days. 

Thanks,

Aditi

Hi folks,

 

Friendly reminder that tomorrow is our very first OpenXLA Community meeting of the 2025 (meet.google.com/fri-gdhe-ufu) . We will spend a few minutes recapping 2024.

What a stellar year it was for OpenXLA with talks/mentions at NVIDIA GTC, Google I/O, WWDC, PyTorch Conference, and LLVM. And we hosted two OpenXLA DevLabs (April and November) on the Google campus. 

See you all tomorrow morning at 9 am PT.  We have an engineer from the AWS team presenting a few ideas around Accelerator Agnostic Gen AI. 

🎉Look forward to an even more amazing 2025!🎉
