Project Proposals by Compiler Research in 2024

The Compiler Research Group is a group of programming language enthusiasts at Princeton University and CERN. It’s primary goal is to research foundational software tools that help scientists program for speed, interoperability, interactivity, flexibility, and reproducibility.

Project List

• Enable reverse-mode automatic differentiation of (CUDA) GPU kernels using Clad

• Implement and improve an efficient, layered tape with prefetching capabilities

• Implement Differentiating of the Kokkos Framework

• Improve automatic differentiation of object-oriented paradigms using Clad

• Add support for consteval and constexpr functions in Clad

• Adoption of CppInterOp in ROOT

• Implement CppInterOp API exposing memory, ownership and thread safety information

• Enable CUDA compilation on Cppyy-Numba generated IR

• STL/Eigen - Automatic conversion and plugins for Python based ML-backends

• Using ROOT in the field of genome sequencing

• Improving performance of BioDynaMo using ROOT C++ Modules
