Month: 2026-07 Overview: Focused on delivering a structural IR graph extractor to support the Autotuner cost-model dataset for pytorch-labs/helion. This aligns with business goals of improving autotuner accuracy and reproducibility by providing a robust IR representation for analysis. Key features/achievements delivered: - Autotuner Cost-Model Dataset: Implemented a structural IR graph extractor to convert device IR into a NetworkX-compatible node-link format for analysis, enabling consistent cost-model data collection across kernels. - Core implementation: Added extract_ir_graph(device_ir) to helion/autotuner/_metadata/ir_features.py to produce a best-effort, config-independent dump of a kernel's device IR for the cost-model dataset. - Testing and quality: Added comprehensive tests validating graph structure, control flow, and metadata extraction to ensure reliability and maintainability. Major bugs fixed: - None reported for this repository this month. Impact and value: - Enables accurate autotuner cost models by providing structured IR representations, reducing the need for manual IR parsing and improving reproducibility across experiments. - Improves data quality and test coverage for autotuner datasets, supporting faster iteration and safer deployments. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Python, NetworkX graph representations, testing best practices, code introspection of device IR, and repository-level change management.
