Responsibilities

The Role 

 IREE is an open source, MLIR based, compilation stack that supports compilation of ML models on multiple target architectures. For many of these architectures, like x86, ARM, RISC-V, as well as some APUs, LLVM compilation is the last layer of the compilation stack. In this role, the candidate will be expected to enhance the LLVM compilation on current and future AMD GPUs. The role is expected to be central to be able to achieve good performance on various LLVM based GPU backends using IREE and will have a direct impact on effective deployment of ML models on AMD devices.  

 The person 

This role is ideal for someone who has experience with LLVM; knows/is interested in learning the best way to achieve good performance on given architecture. This person must be able to understand the current MLIR/LLVM based compilation flow, to effectively identify opportunities for optimization at various levels of the stack. They must be able to design and implement these optimizations either in LLVM or in MLIR, to optimize the binary generated by the compiler. The person must also enjoy working in open-source projects like MLIR, LLVM and IREE and be able to engage with the community effectively. This role is ideal for someone who might be new to MLIR but is interested in contributing to it. 

 Key responsibilities  

• Support and contribute to AMD GPU backend compilation in LLVM. 
• Understand current and upcoming architecture features on AMD GPUs and help design the compiler strategy to target these features effectively within IREE. 
• Plan for and design compiler transformations in MLIR or LLVM that are needed to generate efficient code. 
• Contribute to and engage with open-source communities in LLVM, MLIR and IREE. 
• Maintain high level of code quality and testing. 

Preferred experience  

• Bachelor’s, Master’s or PhD in computer science or related field. 

• Multiple years of experience working with an LLVM based compiler, MLIR experience optional 
• Known history of contribution to open-source projects is preferred 
• Prior experience in ML compilers is optional but preferred. 
• Experience with fuzzers and reducers is a plus.
