Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "MLIR (software)" in English language version.
The MLIR subproject is a novel approach to building reusable and extensible compiler infrastructure. MLIR aims to address software fragmentation, improve compilation for heterogeneous hardware, significantly reduce the cost of building domain specific compilers, and aid in connecting existing compilers together.
MLIR's strength is its ability to build domain specific compilers, particularly for weird domains that aren't traditional CPUs and GPUs, such as AI ASICS, quantum computing systems, FPGAs, and custom silicon.
