+Fluid is moving towards the direction of a compiler, which is explain in [fluid_compiler.md](fluid_compiler.md).
 
 ## Backward Compatibility of Fluid
 
 Given all the advantages from the removal of the concept of a *model*, hardware manufacturers might still prefer the existence of the concept of a model, so it would be easier for them to support multiple frameworks all at once and could run a trained model during inference.  For example, Nervana, a startup company acquired by Intel, has been working on an XPU that reads the models in the format known as [n-graph](https://github.com/NervanaSystems/ngraph).  Similarly, [Movidius](https://www.movidius.com/) is producing a mobile deep learning chip that reads and runs graphs of operators.  The well-known [ONNX](https://github.com/onnx/onnx) is also a file format of graphs of operators.
 
 For Fluid, we can write a converter that extracts the parts in the `ProgramDesc` protobuf message, converts them into a graph of operators, and exports the graph into the ONNX or n-graph format.
-
-## Towards a Deep Learning Language and the Compiler
-
-We can change the `if-then-else` and loop structure a little bit in the above Fluid example programs, to make it into a new programming language, different than Python.
-
-Even if we do not invent a new language, as long as we get the `ProgramDesc` message filled in, we can write a transpiler, which translates each invocation to an operator, into a C++ call to a kernel function of that operator. For example, a transpiler that weaves the CUDA kernels outputs an NVIDIA-friendly C++ program, which can be built using `nvcc`.  Another transpiler could generate MKL-friendly code that should be built using `icc` from Intel.  More interestingly, we can translate a Fluid program into its distributed version of two `ProgramDesc` messages, one for running on the trainer process, and the other one for the parameter server.  For more details of the last example, the [concurrent programming design](concurrent_programming.md) document would be a good pointer.  The following figure explains the proposed two-stage process:

+# PaddlePaddle Fluid: Towards a Compiled Programming Language
+
+As described in [fluid.md](fluid.md), when a Fluid application program
+runs, it generates a `ProgramDesc` protobuf message as an intermediate
+representation of itself.  The C++ class `Executor` can run this
+protobuf message as an interpreter.  This article describes the Fluid
+compiler.
+
+![](fluid-compiler.png)
+
+## ProgramDesc
+
+Before we go deeper into the idea of compiled language, let us take a
+look at a simple example Fluid application.
+
+```python
+import "fluid"
+
+func paddlepaddle() {
+  X = fluid.read(...)
+  W = fluid.Tensor(...)
+  Y = fluid.mult(X, W)
+}
+```
+
+This program consists of a [block](block.md) of three operators --
+`read`, `assign`, and `mult`.  Its `ProgramDesc` message looks like
+the following
+
+```protobuf
+message ProgramDesc {
+  block[0] = Block {
+    vars = [X, W, Y],
+    ops = [
+      read(output = X)
+      assign(input = ..., output = W)
+      mult(input = {X, W}, output = Y)
+    ],
+  }
+}
+```
+ 
+## Transpilers
+
+We can write a transpiler program that takes a `ProgramDesc`, e.g.,
+the above one, and outputs another `ProgramDesc`.  Let us take some
+examples:
+
+1. *Memory optimization transpiler*: We can write a transpiler that
+   inserts some `FreeMemoryOp`s in the above example `ProgramDesc` so
+   to free memory early, before the end of an iteration, so to keep a
+   small memory footprint.
+
+1. *Distributed training transpiler*: We can write a transpiler that
+   converts a`ProgramDesc` into its distributed version of two
+   `ProgramDesc`s -- one for running by the trainer processes and the
+   other for the parameter server.
+
+In the rest of this article, we talk about a special kind of
+transpiler, *Native code generator*, which takes a `ProgramDesc` and
+generates a `.cu` (or `.cc`) file, which could be built by C++
+compilers (gcc, nvcc, icc) into binaries.
+
+## Native Code Generator
+
+For the above example, the native code generator transpiler, say, the
+CUDA code generator, should generate a `main` function:
+
+```c++
+void main() {
+  auto X = fluid_cuda_read(...);
+  auto W = fluid_cuda_create_tensor(...);
+  auto Y = fluid_cuda_mult(X, W);
+}
+```
+
+and the definitions of functions `fluid_cuda_read`,
+`fluid_cuda_create_tensor`, and `fluid_cuda_mult`.  Please be aware
+that each function could just define a C++ instance of an operator and
+run it.  For example
+
+```c++
+paddle::Tensor fluid_cuda_read(...) {
+  paddle::Tensor t;
+  paddle::operator::Read r(&t, ...);
+  r.Run();
+  return t;
+}
+```
+
+For computational operators that have multiple *kernels*, each for a
+specific hardware platform, for example, the `mult` operator, the
+generated code should call its CUDA kernel:
+
+```c++
+paddle::Tensor fluid_cuda_mult(const paddle::Tensor& a, 
+                               const paddle::Tensor& b) {
+  paddle::Tensor t;
+  paddle::operator::Mult m(a, b, ...);
+  Mult.Run(cuda_context);
+}
+```
+
+where `cuda_context` could be a global variable of type
+`paddle::CUDADeviceContext`.
+
+## Multi-Block Code Generation
+
+Most Fluid application programs may have more than one blocks.  To
+execute them, we need to trace [scopes](scope.md).

+## Add Kernels for a New Device
+
+### Background
+
+PaddlePaddle Fluid have hundreds of operators.  Each operator could have one or more kernels.  A kernel is an implementation of the operator for a certain device, which could be a hardware device, e.g., the CUDA GPU, or a library that utilizes a device, e.g., Intel MKL that makes full use of the Xeon CPU.
+
+[This document](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/doc/howto/dev/new_op_en.md) explains how to add an operator, and its kernels.  The kernels of an operator are indexed by a C++ type [`OpKernelType`](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/doc/design/operator_kernel_type.md).  An operator chooses the right kernel at runtime.  This choosing mechanism is described [here](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/doc/design/switch_kernel.md).
+
+### Write Kernels for A New Device 
+
+#### Add A New Device
+
+  For some historical reaons, we misuse the word *library* for *device*.  For example, we call the deivce type by *library type*.  An example is the header file [`library_type.h`](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/paddle/framework/library_type.h#L24).  We will correct this ASAP.
+
+To register a new device, we need to add an enum value to `LibraryType`:
+
+```
+enum class LibraryType {
+  kPlain = 0,
+  kMKLDNN = 1,
+  kCUDNN = 2,
+};
+```
+
+
+#### Add A New [Place](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/paddle/platform/place.h#L53)
+
+If you have a new kind of Device, firstly you need to add a new kind of [`Place`](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/paddle/platform/place.h#L53). For example `CUDAPlace`:
+
+```cpp
+struct CUDAPlace {
+  CUDAPlace() : CUDAPlace(0) {}
+  explicit CUDAPlace(int d) : device(d) {}
+
+  inline int GetDeviceId() const { return device; }
+  // needed for variant equality comparison
+  inline bool operator==(const CUDAPlace &o) const {
+    return device == o.device;
+  }
+  inline bool operator!=(const CUDAPlace &o) const { return !(*this == o); }
+
+  int device;
+};
+
+typedef boost::variant<CUDAPlace, CPUPlace> Place;
+```
+
+#### Add [device context]((https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/paddle/platform/device_context.h#L37))
+After a new kind of Device is added, you should add a corresponding [DeviceContext](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/paddle/platform/device_context.h#L37) for it.
+
+```cpp
+class DeviceContext {
+ public:
+  virtual ~DeviceContext() {}
+  virtual Place GetPlace() const = 0;
+
+  virtual void Wait() const {}
+};
+```
+
+#### Implement new [OpKernel](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/paddle/framework/operator.h#L351) for your Device.
+
+A detailed documentation can be found in [`new_op_and_kernel`](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/doc/howto/dev/new_op_en.md)
+
+```cpp
+class OpKernelBase {
+ public:
+  /**
+   * ExecutionContext is the only parameter of Kernel Run function.
+   * Run will get input/output variables, state such as momentum and
+   * device resource such as CUDA stream, cublas handle, etc. from
+   * ExecutionContext. User should construct it before run the Operator.
+   */
+
+  virtual void Compute(const ExecutionContext& context) const = 0;
+
+  virtual ~OpKernelBase() = default;
+};
+
+template <typename T>
+class OpKernel : public OpKernelBase {
+ public:
+  using ELEMENT_TYPE = T;
+};
+```
+
+
+#### Register the OpKernel to framework
+
+After writing the components described above, we should register the kernel to the framework.
+
+We use `REGISTER_OP_KERNEL` to do the registration.
+
+```cpp
+REGISTER_OP_KERNEL(
+	op_type,
+	library_type,
+	place_type,
+	kernel0, kernel1, ...)
+```
+
+kernel0, kernel1 are kernels that have the same `op_type`, `library_type`, `place_type` but different `data_types`.
+
+take [`conv2d`]((https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/paddle/operators/conv_cudnn_op.cu.cc#L318)) as an example:
+
+	```cpp
+	REGISTER_OP_KERNEL(conv2d, CPU, paddle::platform::CPUPlace,
+    		paddle::operators::GemmConvKernel<paddle::platform::CPUDeviceContext, float>,
+    		paddle::operators::GemmConvKernel<paddle::platform::CPUDeviceContext, double>);
+    
+	REGISTER_OP_KERNEL(conv2d, CUDNN, ::paddle::platform::CUDAPlace,
+	       paddle::operators::CUDNNConvOpKernel<float>,
+	       paddle::operators::CUDNNConvOpKernel<double>);
+	```
+
+In the code above:
+
+ - `conv2d` is the type/name of the operator
+ - `CUDNN/CPU` is `library`
+ - `paddle::platform::CUDAPlace/CPUPlace` is `place`
+ - template parameter `float/double` on `CUDNNConvOpKernel<T>` is `data_type`.
