Held in conjunction with SC26: The
International Conference for High
Performance Computing, Networking, Storage, and
Analysis, and in
cooperation with the IEEE Computer Society (IEEE CS)
and the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM).
Agenda
Will be posted after final papers have been accepted.
Overview
LLVM has become an integral part of the software-development ecosystem for optimizing compilers, dynamic-language execution engines, source-code analysis and transformation tools, debuggers and linkers, and a whole host of programming-language and toolchain-related components. The recent surge in AI development has further proven the efficacy of the LLVM infrastructure as many predominant AI/ML compilation systems deployed in practice leverage the MLIR framework to exploit high level semantics provided by their frontends, while maintaining a production grade and high performance software stack. Research in, and implementation of, program analysis, compilation, execution, and profiling has clearly benefited from the availability of a high-quality, freely-available infrastructure on which to build. This workshop will focus on recent developments, from both academia and industry, that build on LLVM to advance the state of the art in high-performance computing.
Format
This workshop will feature contributed papers and an invited talk focusing on recent developments that build on LLVM to advance the state of the art in high-performance computing.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Compiler design for highly-concurrent/parallel environments
- Compilation techniques targeted at high-performance computing codes
- Use of Machine Learning and/or AI for compiler design and optimization
- Programming-language implementation techniques enabling high performance and high productivity
- Embedding compilation and dynamic execution at scale
- Tools for optimization, profiling, and feedback
- Source code transformation and analysis
- Gap analyses of open-source LLVM-based tools
- Domain-specific compilation and optimization
Please note: All participants (authors, presenters, committee members, and attendees alike) are expected to follow both the LLVM Code of Conduct as well as the relevant SC26 conduct policies.
