Architecture 2.0

Workshop on AI for Computing Systems Design

About the Workshop

The Architecture 2.0 workshop brings together researchers and practitioners exploring the intersection of artificial intelligence and computer architecture. As AI continues to transform how we design, optimize, and evaluate computing systems, this workshop provides a venue for presenting cutting-edge research and fostering collaboration.

The workshop features a competition centered on ArchEval, our new benchmark for evaluating AI systems on downstream computer architecture tasks. Participants will leverage QuArch, our comprehensive architecture knowledge and reasoning benchmark, to push the boundaries of what's possible in AI-driven systems design.

Competition

The centerpiece of the Architecture 2.0 Workshop is our ArchEval Challengeโ€”a competition to advance AI capabilities on computer architecture tasks.

๐ŸŽฏ Objective

Hillclimb on a subset of ArchEval, our benchmark comprised of downstream computer architecture tasks. Use QuArch to improve small language model performance on realistic computer architecture tasks.

๐Ÿ’ก Approaches

  • Post-training with QuArch data
  • Inference-time retrieval using QuArch
  • General inference-time scaling techniques
  • Novel methods we haven't thought of!

๐Ÿ“ Submission

Competitors must submit a 4-page write-up (unlimited appendix) explaining their approach, methodology, and results.
