llvm dev - Mar 2021 - [GSoC] Integrate Enzyme into Rust to provide high-performance differentiation in Rust

Hello everyone,

 

I'm Chuyang Chen, an MSc student majoring in CS at NJU. I'm interested
in
the GSoC project "Integrate Enzyme into Rust to provide high-performance
differentiation in Rust". It just fits my interest. My research area is
software engineering, and the problem I'm working on is relevant to
compilation and programming language. I also have a plan to turn to the
field of programming language when I apply for a Ph.D. program in the
future. These days, I find auto-differentiation, as a sub-field of
programming language, interesting, then I see this project. Moreover, I have
started programming in Rust since last year. Now I'm using it to write a
personal project, a JVM in Rust, through which I got good acquaintance with
Rust. A small Rust crate I have contributed to is here
<https://github.com/nomanous/rust-adorn> , for reference. In terms of C++,
I
have 5 years of experience with it, since almost all of my course projects
and programming homework, after I entered the university, require to be
written in C++. I also have had 2 patches submitted to LLVM project, one
<https://reviews.llvm.org/D87962>  committed and one
<https://reviews.llvm.org/D90448>  under review. In summary, I think this
project intriguing and myself qualified for it.

 

I have been working on this project these days and have contacted the mentor
(Mr. William Moses). Now I'm getting myself familiar with the Enzyme
project. I send this email to say hello to the community and also to check
whether anyone else is working on the same project.

 

Thank you for reading this!
