During November 2024, this developer contributed to the llvm/circt repository by expanding the MooreToCore conversion to support pows (signed power) and powu (unsigned power) operations. They implemented a lowering strategy that translates these operations into scf.for loops performing repeated multiplication, with negative exponents for pows returning zero as specified. This work, using C++ and MLIR, improved the coverage of MooreToCore and enhanced compatibility for downstream code generation. The developer demonstrated skills in compiler development, hardware description languages, and low-level optimization, addressing translation gaps and ensuring the new feature integrated smoothly into the existing intermediate representation infrastructure.
In 2024-11, delivered a key feature in llvm/circt: MooreToCore conversion now supports pows (signed power) and powu (unsigned power). The new lowering translates these ops into scf.for loops that perform repeated multiplication; negative exponents for pows yield 0. This expands operation coverage, improves downstream codegen compatibility, and reduces translation gaps in the MooreToCore path.
