PROFILE
Sagar Maheshwari
Worked extensively on the Xilinx/llvm-aie repository, delivering backend and toolchain enhancements for AIE2, AIE2P, and AIE2PS targets over ten months. Focused on compiler development, low-level optimization, and embedded systems, the work included implementing vectorization features, startup stack management, and instruction scheduling improvements. Used C++ and LLVM IR to modernize type systems, legalize vector operations, and refine linker and build scripts for embedded deployments. Addressed correctness in mathematical functions and operand lowering, improved test infrastructure, and enhanced diagnostic clarity. The engineering approach emphasized maintainability, robust testing, and compatibility, resulting in more reliable, performant, and portable code generation workflows.

Aug 1, 2025In August 2025, delivered a targeted LLVM backend enhancement for Xilinx/llvm-aie enabling G_MERGE_VALUES legalization for scalar operands on the AIE2P target. This work refactors the legalizer to lower scalar G_MERGE_VALUES into a G_BUILD_VECTOR followed by a G_BITCAST, establishing correct code generation for merging scalar values into vectors and paving the way for improved AIE2P vectorization performance.

Jun 1, 2025June 2025: Delivered startup stack management enhancement for AIE2P in Xilinx/llvm-aie. Implemented -fstack-size-section in the crt1 startup code and simplified _Exit in crt1.cc to call done() directly, enabling explicit stack-size control and more deterministic startup behavior for the AIE2P target. Commit 8be81f5a299074f0cbfe40fa779fdd6dea172441. Business impact: improved startup reliability and memory footprint predictability for AIE2P workloads, reducing risk of stack-related failures and enabling future optimizations. Skills demonstrated: C/C++, compiler/linker startup customization, stack-size management for embedded/heterogeneous compute targets.
