mlir-development

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps compiler engineers and researchers design, implement, and optimize MLIR/CIR-based compilation systems, enabling multi-level IR workflows and reusable tooling.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Dialect design and extension for domain-specific languages, enabling expressive IR models.
• Write and optimize transformation passes, pattern rewrites, and lowering pipelines across MLIR dialects.
• Prototype end-to-end toolchains from high-level DSLs through CIR/LLVM with testing and verification workflows.
• Educational guidance and practical examples for MLIR-based optimization, code generation, and CIR integration.

Quick Start

Start by creating a minimal MLIR project, define a tiny dialect, implement a simple pass, and run it with mlir-opt to observe a basic transformation.
