Shakil Flynn developed a DAG-based kernel cost model for the google/heir repository, focusing on computing exact rotation costs through symbolic execution. Using C++ and leveraging skills in algorithm design and data structures, Shakil replaced placeholder costs with rotation-based calculations, enabling more accurate layout optimization. The implementation included core cost-analysis components and refactored rotation counting into a shared library with common subexpression elimination. Comprehensive unit and integration testing ensured correctness, with all tests passing and the MatvecDiagonal cost now reflecting the Halevi-Shoup algorithm. Shakil also updated documentation and deployment guides, demonstrating depth in both engineering execution and project integration.
October 2025: Delivered a DAG-based kernel cost model using symbolic execution to compute exact rotation costs for google/heir, replacing placeholder zero costs and enabling more accurate layout optimization decisions. Implemented core cost-analysis components (ArithmeticDAG-based cost construction, KernelRotationCountVisitor with CSE deduplication) and integrated them with kernel code generation. Achieved comprehensive test coverage: 8/8 unit tests passing and 582/582 tests overall; integration test kernel_cost.mlir also passing. The MatvecDiagonal cost now reflects 100 rotations in line with the Halevi-Shoup algorithm. Refactored rotation counting into a shared library, updated kernel cost documentation, and refreshed build/deploy docs. These changes improve cost visibility, optimize layout decisions, and deliver measurable performance and resource-use benefits for the project.
