MLIR-DaCe

MLIR-DaCe is a project aiming to bridge the gap between control-centric and data-centric intermediate representations. By bridging these two groups of IRs, it allows the combination of control-centric and data-centric optimizations in optimization pipelines. In order to achieve this, MLIR-DaCe provides a data-centric dialect in MLIR to connect the MLIR and DaCe frameworks.

Building

This setup assumes that you have built LLVM and MLIR in $BUILD_DIR and installed them to $PREFIX. To build and launch the tests, run

mkdir build && cd build
cmake -G Ninja .. -DMLIR_DIR=$PREFIX/lib/cmake/mlir -DLLVM_EXTERNAL_LIT=$BUILD_DIR/bin/llvm-lit
cmake --build . --target check-sdir-opt

To build the documentation from the TableGen description of the dialect operations, run

cmake --build . --target mlir-doc

Note: Make sure to pass -DLLVM_INSTALL_UTILS=ON when building LLVM with CMake in order to install FileCheck to the chosen installation prefix.
