Enabling reverse-mode automatic differentiation of GPU kernels

Christina Koutsou Christina Koutsou • May 18, 2024 • 7 min read

Nowadays, the rise of General Purpose GPU programming has caused more and more tools used by the scientific community to adjust to GPU's architecture. This project aims to allow `Clad` to ride that tide and broaden its use-range by enabling reverse-mode automatic differentiation of CUDA kernels.

Code Completion in Clang Repl

Yuquan (Fred) Fu Yuquan (Fred) Fu • Sep 18, 2023 • 4 min read

Clang-Repl, featuring a REPL(Read-Eval-Print-Loop) environment, allows developers to program in C++ interactively. It is a C++ interpreter built upon the Clang and LLVM incremental compilation pipeline. One of the missing upstream features in Clang-Repl is the ability to propose options for automatically completing user input or code completion. Sometimes, C++...

Shared Memory Based JITLink Memory Manager

Anubhab Ghosh Anubhab Ghosh • Dec 07, 2022 • 5 min read

LLVM JIT APIs include JITLink, a just-in-time linker that links together objects code units directly in memory and executes them. It uses the JITLinkMemoryManager interface to allocate and manage memory for the generated code. When the generated code is run in the same process as the linker, memory is directly...

Recovering from Errors in Clang-Repl and Code Undo

Jun Zhang Jun Zhang , Purva Chaudhari Purva Chaudhari • Dec 02, 2022 • 5 min read

Incremental C++ enables exploratory programming by considering the translation unit to be an ever-growing entity. This allows implementation of interpreter-like tools such as Cling and Clang-Repl, which consume C++ code piece by piece and use the JIT infrastructure to run each piecewise. One of the challenges of Incremental C++ is...

Clang is an LLVM native C/C++/Objective-C compiler, which aims to deliver amazingly fast compiles, extremely useful error and warning messages and to provide a platform for building great source level tools. The Clang Static Analyzer and clang-tidy are tools that automatically find bugs in your code, and are great examples...
