Grigori Fursin developed cTuning.org at the end of the Milepost project in 2009 to continue his research on machine learning based program and architecture optimization as a community effort.[10][11]
In 2014, cTuning Foundation was registered in France as a non-profit research and development organization. It received funding from the EU TETRACOM project and ARM to develop the Collective Knowledge Framework and prepare reproducible research methodology for ACM and IEEE conferences.[12]
In 2020, cTuning Foundation joined MLCommons as a founding member to accelerate innovation in ML.[13]
In 2023, cTuning Foundation joined the new initiative by the Autonomous Vehicle Computing Consortium and MLCommons to develop an automotive industry standard machine learning benchmark suite.[14]
Since 2024, cTuning Foundation supports the MLCommons Croissant Metadata Format to help standardize ML Datasets.[15]
Current funding comes from the European Union research and development funding programme, Microsoft, and other organizations.[16]
