Pranav Bantval developed and maintained the gpu-design-logs repository, focusing on structured documentation and technical progress tracking for GPU architecture and compiler development. Over five months, Pranav authored detailed Markdown documentation capturing ISA encoding, RISC-V assembly, and custom instruction workflows, while integrating visualization assets to clarify system architecture and execution models. Using C, Python, and RISC-V Assembly, he implemented per-instruction predicate assignment and CSR mappings to support linker-ready assembly, improving code clarity and maintainability. His methodical approach established a repeatable documentation cadence, streamlined onboarding, and enabled reliable design reviews, reflecting a deep understanding of hardware-software co-design and technical writing.
Month: 2025-12 Overview: Focused on advancing compiler readiness for linker integration and maintaining project documentation hygiene. Delivered per-instruction predicate assignment with CSR mappings for thread/block indices and completed documentation updates for Weeks 14-15 to capture break-period work and upcoming improvements.

October 2025 focused on documenting and aligning ISA/Compiler progress for Purdue-SoCET/gpu-design-logs. Delivered a comprehensive Week 6–9 documentation package, including ISA encoding decisions, compiler backend progress, assembler testing plans, and planned ISA implementations, with Week 8 cleanup. Created markdown docs for week6.md, week7.md, week8.md, and week9.md, and removed an outdated path (Fall-2025/Pranav-Bantval/week8) to improve repository hygiene. This work creates a repeatable documentation cadence and baseline for future feature work.
