Name:Anton Lydike

Bio:

Hi, I’m a first-year CDT student looking into program synthesis for accelerators. I did my undergrad in Germany, writing my thesis about a RISC-V emulator and a small operating system kernel that was able to run on that emulator. From there I went to work as a researcher at the University of Edinburgh, looking at HPC compilers and compilers for bespoke RISC-V ISA extensions and accelerators. All my work in compilers was built in xDSL/MLIR, a framework by the LLVM project focused on extending LLVM-IR to be a multi-level IR.

For my PhD I want to focus on program synthesis, building on my experience in HPC and ISA extensions to find novel solutions that allow us to match generic algorithms to hyper-specific accelerator APIs without sacrificing performance.
