Contributions to OpenTuner

Hi @jansel

We're interested in using opentuner for complex applications/compilers tuning for clang and other compilers. Based on our prior experience, we'd like to add new features such as:

• compiler pass sequence tuning support
• intergration with benchmarks and workload automation frameworks
• per/cluster function tuning
• support for validation or parameters controlling accuracy
• integration of ML for tuning
• enhanced logging
• enhanced testing
• enhance parameter types (optional integer for example)

Are these interesting features for open-source OpenTuner? Are you available for periodic review? What's your preferred workflow for contributions to upstream?

Thanks!

These all sound great and would love the contributions!

I'd be happy to provide review and advice. The easiest thing would be to submit pull requests and I can review and merge. I'm also happy to answer questions if that would help you.

Hi @jansel

Good news! We have started working on some of the features including enhanced logging, optional parameter and measurement interface generalization. We'll keep in touch and let you know when a pull request is ready. Thanks!
