Software Stack

A software stack is a layered architecture comprising interconnected software components, each performing a specific function within a larger system. Current research focuses on improving the efficiency, modularity, and interpretability of stacks, particularly in areas like autonomous vehicles and large language model (LLM) applications, often employing modular designs and differentiable optimization techniques. This research is crucial for advancing AI capabilities, enhancing software development practices, and enabling the deployment of complex systems across diverse domains, from robotics to machine learning. The development of robust and adaptable software stacks is essential for the reliable and efficient operation of increasingly sophisticated technologies.
