PROFILE

Moritz Scherer

Over a three-month period, contributed to the llvm/circt repository by developing advanced features for hardware description language tooling. Focused on enhancing the Moore dialect and ImportVerilog, this work introduced comprehensive real-number operations, robust class handling, and virtual dispatch table infrastructure using C++ and MLIR. Improvements included real-to-integer formatting, static member support, and queue modeling, all aligned with SystemVerilog and IEEE 1800-2023 standards. The technical approach emphasized stability, correctness, and extensibility, with extensive regression testing and careful refactoring to reduce crashes and improve code generation reliability for hardware import and verification workflows in complex compiler environments.

Month: 2025-10 — Real-number support and formatting enhancements delivered for llvm/circt. Implemented comprehensive real-valued ops (f32/f64) in Moore dialect and ImportVerilog, including arithmetic, comparisons, unary negation, and inc/dec; refactored operator lowering for consistency and added extensive tests. Enhanced ImportVerilog's FormatStringParser to support real-to-integer conversion for formatting specifiers (e.g., %d, %h) by inserting RealToIntOp and computing necessary signed width per IEEE-754 standards, with targeted tests and regression safeguards.
