License ------- TVM is licensed under the [Apache-2.0](LICENSE) license. Getting Started --------------- Check out the [TVM Documentation](https://tvm.apache.org/docs/) site for installation instructions, tutorials, examples, and more. The [Getting Started with TVM](https://tvm.apache.org/docs/get_started/overview.html) tutorial is a great place to start. Contribute to TVM ----------------- TVM adopts the Apache committer model. We aim to create an open-source project maintained and owned by the community. Check out the [Contributor Guide](https://tvm.apache.org/docs/contribute/). History and Acknowledgement --------------------------- TVM started as a research project for deep learning compilation. The first version of the project benefited a lot from the following projects: - [Halide](https://github.com/halide/Halide): Part of TVM's TIR and arithmetic simplification module originates from Halide. We also learned and adapted some parts of the lowering pipeline from Halide. - [Loopy](https://github.com/inducer/loopy): use of integer set analysis and its loop transformation primitives. - [Theano](https://github.com/Theano/Theano): the design inspiration of symbolic scan operator for recurrence. Since then, the project has gone through several rounds of redesigns. The current design is also drastically different from the initial design, following the development trend of the ML compiler community. The most recent version focuses on a cross-level design with TensorIR as the tensor-level representation and Relax as the graph-level representation and Python-first transformations. The project's current design goal is to make the ML compiler accessible by enabling most transformations to be customizable in Python and bringing a cross-level representation that can jointly optimize computational graphs, tensor programs, and libraries. The project is also a foundation infra for building Python-first vertical compilers for domains, such as LLMs. ``` --- **Machine-readable endpoints** - JSON: [`/api/graphcanon/tools/apache-tvm`](/api/graphcanon/tools/apache-tvm) - LLM index: [/llms.txt](/llms.txt) - Full corpus: [/llms-full.txt](/llms-full.txt) _GraphCanon - The knowledge graph for AI development. https://www.graphcanon.com/_
