Abstract
A method for optimizing control flow in compiled computation graphs includes defining an intermediate representation (IR) of a computation graph, the computation graph IR including a main computation graph having at least one control flow primitive layer node pointing to one or more control flow sub-graph nodes. Fusable layer nodes of the main computation graph are identified and removed from the main computation graph, and the removed fusable layer nodes are duplicated into each of the one or more control flow sub-graph nodes. The method can be applied to machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) frameworks, for example, to support decision making and optimization of targets and scientific computations in a variety of applications such as in medical/healthcare (e.g., AI assisted healthcare or drug development).
