I explained the Vector dialect and related patterns in the previous blog post. In this one let us look at a layer higher and talk about the Linalg dialect and transformations around it.
The initial blog post in this series captured my overall take on the evolution trends of compilers and IRs. It also touched on LLVM IR, SPIR-V, and MLIR, explaining the problems they are addressing and design focuses thereof. Today I will expand on MLIR and talk about its dialect hierarchy for machine learning (ML) compilers systematically.
