+Design and Architecture
+=======================
+
+This document is intended for developers who want to understand the
+architecture of TVM and/or actively develop on the project.
+This page is organized as follows:
+
+- The `Example Compilation Flow Walkthrough`_ section is a walk through of a
typical compilation flow explaining each component used during compilation.
+- The `Logical Architecture Components`_ section describes the logical
components.
+ The sections after are specific guides focused on each logical component,
organized
+ by the component's name.
+- The `How Tos`_ section contains useful tutorials to solve specific
development problems.
+
+This guide provides a few complementary views of the architecture.
+First, we review a single end to end compilation flow and discuss the key data
structures and the transformations.
+This runtime-based view focuses on the interactions of each components when
running the compiler.
+Then we will review the logical modules of the codebase and their
relationship. This part provides a static overarching view of the design.
+
+To get started, please read the `Example Compilation Flow Walkthrough`_
section first for the runtime-based view.
+You can then refer to the architecture diagram in `Logical Architecture
Components`_.
+Each architecture component section contains a short introduction to the
corresponding component
+and links to detailed guides that you can dive into.
+Feel free to browse the `How Tos`_ to useful development tips.
+
+
+Example Compilation Flow Walkthrough
+------------------------------------
+
+In this guide, we will study an example compilation flow in the compiler. The
figure below shows the flow. At a high-level, it contains several steps:
+
+- Import: The frontend component ingests a model into an IRModule, which
contains a collection of functions that internally represent the model.
+- Transformation: The compiler transforms an IRModule to another functionally
equivalent or approximately equivalent(e.g. in the case of quantization)
IRModule.
+- Target Translation: The compiler translate(codegen) the IRModule to an
executable format specified by the target.
