About us
Daisytuner

A world where progress can run at full speed.

Where every machine runs at its best, so progress never slows down. Born from research at ETH Zurich and RWTH Aachen, we automate the performance engineering that used to be rewritten for every new chip.

The Situation

The world is hungry for more.

More questions, more answers, more intelligence. Every new model asks more of the compute it runs on.
The Problem

Most machines run at a fraction of what they can.

Most models never deliver what they could. Most watts vanish into warm air. And the chips that could change it all are locked out.
The Mission

More from every model, every chip, every watt.

We are here to demand more. Daisytuner compiles your code for any processor and optimizes it for performance, so every machine runs at its best and progress never slows down.

The people building the mission.

Compiler, HPC and systems engineers from ETH Zurich, RWTH Aachen, TU Munich, TU Darmstadt and beyond.
