SRTuner v.0.0.1

SRTuner is a tuning strategy that searches for the best possible optimization setting for the given run-time environment. Within the tuning budget, SRTuner endeavors to expose important inter-relatonship between optimizations and leverage them to focus on the promising search subspace. To allow fast integration, SRTuner is built in the form of python library that provides tuning primitives. Users can build a standalone tuning framework with these primitives or adopt them into the existing tuning framework as a new tuning method.
