Arun Thangamani developed an AVX2 8-bit integer dot product operation, DotInt8Op, for the X86Vector dialect in the llvm/clangir repository. He defined the operation in TableGen and implemented the lowering logic in C++, enabling the feature to map directly to the LLVM intrinsic llvm.x86.avx2.vpdpbssd. This work supported both 128-bit and 256-bit vector widths, allowing efficient int8 dot-product code generation on AVX2 backends. Arun’s contribution demonstrated depth in low-level programming, vectorization, and compiler development, addressing the need for optimized integer dot product operations in modern vectorized workloads and integrating seamlessly with the existing LLVM infrastructure.

July 2025: Delivered AVX2 8-bit integer dot product operation (DotInt8Op) in the X86Vector dialect for llvm/clangir. The feature lowers to the LLVM intrinsic llvm.x86.avx2.vpdpbssd and supports both 128-bit and 256-bit vector widths. Implemented the operation definition in TableGen and the lowering path in C++, enabling efficient int8 dot-product codegen on AVX2 backends.
