PROFILE

Tobias Hotz

Worked on the openjdk/leyden repository to improve the reliability and correctness of compiler optimizations in Java and C++. Focused on enhancing the Leyden compiler’s intermediate representation by refining the Value() method for division nodes, ensuring accurate handling of non-constant divisors and reducing numerical errors during code generation. Addressed a division-by-zero issue in the IntegerDivValueTests, which previously caused test failures during constant folding, thereby increasing the stability of continuous integration pipelines. Demonstrated expertise in compiler design, algorithm optimization, and testing, contributing targeted bug fixes that strengthened both the optimization path and the robustness of the Leyden test suite.

January 2026 — openjdk/leyden: Focused on hardening the Leyden test suite to improve reliability of the compiler optimization path. The primary effort resolved a division-by-zero issue in IntegerDivValueTests during constant folding, which previously triggered ArithmeticException during test execution. The fix enhances CI stability and supports safer progress on performance-related compiler work.

Implemented division accuracy improvements in the Leyden compiler IR by enhancing Value() for DivI and DivL to properly handle non-constant divisor inputs. This change reduces numerical errors in the C2-based IR, improving the correctness of division operations during optimization and code generation.
