1. Compiler Developer

   LPython is a Python compiler for programming APUs developed by GSI Technology. It is in heavy development, currently in pre-alpha stage and is capable of generating LLVM, C, C++, WASM, x86 code from the input type annotated Python code.\\\\n- Adding all the Python language features in LLVM and C backends such as ``dict``,``list``, numpy functionality and array programming support. Alongside I also work on adding machine independent code optimisations such as automatic vectorisation of array operations, function inlining, loop unrolling, fused-multiplication addition.\\\\n- Preliminary benchmarks reflect that with the recent addition of ``list``, LPython beats C++``std:vector`` by a factor of 9x (without enabling optimisation for C++ test code) and 2x (with optimised C++ test code). Similarly for ``dict``(hash map), LPython beats C++``std:unordered_map`` by a factor of 30x (without C++ test code optimised) and 6x (with C++ test code optimised).\\\\n- Implementing traditional Python features optimally in LPython will allow increasing the performance of existing Python code as is. In addition, presence of multiple backends will allow users to transform their Python code into other high level languages for their own specific use cases without giving up on the comfortable development experience provided by Python syntax.\\\\n \\\\n\\\\n \\\\n \\\\n\\\\n \\\\n
