Part 4/13:
Optimized Data Center Operations: Alpha Evolve devised a scheduling algorithm that reclaims approximately 0.7% of Google's global computational resources—a seemingly modest figure but equivalent to adding multiple new data centers at zero physical cost.
Hardware Circuit Design: It identified functionally equivalent yet more efficient circuit configurations for Google's tensor processing units (TPUs), reducing costs and improving performance despite the chips already being among the most optimized globally.
Kernel Speed Enhancements: Strikingly, Alpha Evolve accelerated the flash attention kernel in transformer models by 32.5%, outperforming human engineers' months-long efforts in just days of automated experimentation.
