llvm dev - Sep 2019 - Round tables

I haven't seen much about the round tables at the dev meeting, on the
list or the web page, anyone keeping track of those?

I propose we do the usual one for VPlan to see who is working on what
in the future, and one on SVE, so that we can sync on what's missing
for this stage (IR) and what's the priorities for the next stages.

I'd also like to discuss transformations in MLIR, like parallel
extensions, polyhedral, threading, open mp, etc. How feasible would be
to use it as an intermediate-IR for some LLVM passes, in addition to
being an input-IR to the middle end.

Should we track this somewhere? At least having a list would be nice,
so that people know what to look for, leaving the times to be defined
later, if necessary.

cheers,

Yeah we're really interested in topics about MLIR related thing! The one we
had at EuroLLVM was very interesting.

I'm interested in a round-table to discuss possible evolutions of GitHub
workflow (post-transition) and discussing experience with pre-merge
testing, pull-request, etc.

I asked Tanya about this last week and she was wrapping up a bunch of
things with the program, but we should have before the end of the month a
form to accept round table suggestions before the event, that include
picking time slots (hence having the schedule for the talks before to help
picking convenient time slots for a round-table topic).

Best,

I'm interested in a round-table to discuss the pros and cons of potentially
moving away from bugzilla to another issue tracking system, with the GitHub
issue tracking system being the most obvious alternative.
I guess it may be best for that to be a different round table to a Github
workflow round-table, but there may be some overlap with a workflow
roundtable?

Thanks,

Kristof

Yes, this is dependent upon the schedule being fixed. The timeline is still
about right. I have a form people submit to schedule slots.
