It's now much, much easier to test LLVM buildbot changes locally (e.g. new workers/builders or other config changes) discourse.llvm.org/t/psa-rec… - let me know if you have problems and as noted in the thread, further tweaks/tips to the docs are appreciated!
ICYMI, there's been a big discussion on evolving MLIR project governance, defining a technical charter, and restructuring the codebase. If you're an MLIR user/developer, be sure to fill in the just-posted survey intended to help further guide this debate discourse.llvm.org/t/survey-…

We had a great time in the Bay Area last week, delivering talks at both the RISC-V Summit and the LLVM Developers’ Meeting, and of course catching up in person with many RISC-V LLVM collaborators. We’re looking forward to the next ones already!
Wonderful to meet so many new people and catch up with others at both the RISC-V Summit and LLVM Developers' Meeting this week. If only the two events didn't overlap...
As always, many people I didn't get a chance to chat to - hopefully next time!

Our colleague @asbradbury wrote about Igalia teaming up with RISE (the RISC-V Software Ecosystem project) to improve #LLVM Continuous Integration, thus ensuring more reliable and efficient development for the ecosystem. Read more about it on RISE’s blog! riseproject.dev/2024/10/15/w…
You have a cross-compiled build tree of ~10GiB or so you want to run tests against "natively" under qemu-system. How best to access it?
TL;DR: just pay the upfront cost mkfs.ext4/mksquashfs, recouped by faster access times

The slides from the tutorial I gave earlier this year at the RISC-V Summit Europe: Supporting custom RISC-V extensions in LLVM are now online

Igalia is such a force across all the major browser engines. I wish more companies realized that fixing a problem or adding a feature to the web could be as simple as hiring Igalia.
It's that time of year when I look at how @igalia
is stacking up in open source contributions... If it was a Friends episode it would be "The One with the Charts" (shown, we're #1 in @webkit after apple)

If you have been wondering about the x87 optimization introduced in FEX release 2408, I wrote something about this. p.ocmatos.com/blog/fex-x87-s…

Wonder what I was doing in Helsinki last month? Here's a blog post from my colleagues at @igalia talking about some interesting things coming up in JS standardization blogs.igalia.com/compilers/2…

If you're interested in how the LLVM GSoC participants are getting on, check out the virtual, informal, GSoC midterm conference tomorrow 23rd July discourse.llvm.org/t/gsoc-20…
And now a fetcher for forum.nim-lang.org, an undocumented "test-fetcher" action, and properly setting the number of replies in all of the forum fetchers. I think I'm feature complete as far as I'm concerned at this point.

Ever wondered what the extended instruction encoding looks like on Vivante GPUs? cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/me…

Some updates to pwr github.com/muxup/pwr:
* Fetch retry logic and set custom user agent
* Typing annotations
* Add fetcher/extractor for GitHub discussions pages (no RSS?!)
* Add fetcher/extractor for groups.io topic pages as used by e.g. RISC-V working groups (no RSS?!)
