Chris Lattner: Compilers, LLVM, Swift, TPU, and ML Accelerators

Chris Lattner is a senior director at Google working on
several projects including CPU, GPU, TPU accelerators for
TensorFlow, Swift for TensorFlow, and all kinds of machine
learning compiler magic going on behind the scenes. He is one of
the top experts in the world on compiler technologies, which
means he deeply understands the intricacies of how hardware and
software come together to create efficient code. He created the
LLVM compiler infrastructure project and the CLang compiler. He
led major engineering efforts at Apple, including the creation of
the Swift programming language. He also briefly spent time at
Tesla as VP of Autopilot Software during the transition from
Autopilot hardware 1 to hardware 2, when Tesla essentially
started from scratch to build an in-house software infrastructure
for Autopilot. If you would like to get more
