What changed
Inferred operator partitioning from limited tensor annotations and generated SPMD computation, supporting uneven/nested sharding, padding and halo exchange in XLA.
Scientific scope
Inferred operator partitioning from limited tensor annotations and generated SPMD computation, supporting uneven/nested sharding, padding and halo exchange in XLA. Extends GShard and inherits XLA/SPMD. Pipeline support requires wrappers or existing pipelining in some cases; annotations are not removed entirely. Tested TPU utilization and compiler scalability are not general hardware/workload optimality.
Evidence
The linked original sources describe the stated contribution and its evidence limits. WRS has not independently rerun the experiments or certified a proof. Extends GShard and inherits XLA/SPMD.
