Architecture 2.0 Workshop & Tutorial

The tutorial

AI agents as
computer architects.

How can AI agents help us design, optimize, and evaluate computing systems? Architecture 2.0 brings this question to IISWC through a half-day program led by our organizing team.

We will explore AI-native system design, introduce QuArch and Archipedia, present ArchEval and ArchOrchestra, and discuss agentic AI for kernel synthesis. The tutorial connects architectural knowledge, workload analysis, and agent evaluation with the tools needed to study AI-assisted design.

Researchers, students, and practitioners interested in agentic AI and computer systems are welcome.
