A technical presentation from Chinese tech company ByteDance — which is best known for creating TikTok — detailed how it used AI and machine learning to make the Linux kernel run better on any hardware (via TechSpot). ByteDance believes that in the future computer engineers will likely have to lean on AI for kernel optimization. And with the gains touted in the presentation, those claims might be right.
ByteDance gave its presentation at the Linux Plumbers Conference on Nov. 14 — and though you might think the developer of TikTok is out of place here, you'd be wrong. The presentation, delivered by ByteDance engineer Cong Wang, was heavily detailed both technically and academically (it was made for computer engineers, after all).
