py-pixi 0.0.0

A Python package for program analysis and custom instruction generation

Pixi (Pass for Instruction eXtraction and Inference)

Pixi is a tool for analyzing LLVM IR and generating custom hardware instructions to optimize performance-critical code sections in the von-Neumann pipeline. The project follows the idea of everything is computation both hardware and software but they come with different computational cost models.

Requirements

• Python 3.10+
• LLVM and Clang (automatically set up by the installation process)
• Ninja build system
• CMake 3.13.4+

Installation

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/JoyenBenitto/Pixi.git
cd Pixi

# Install the package in development mode
pip install -e .

# Set up LLVM dependencies
pixi setup -c <jobs>

[!Note] The setup process clones and configures the LLVM project, which may take some time during the initial setup. Subsequent setups will be much faster.

Usage

Pixi provides a comprehensive command-line interface for analyzing code, generating LLVM IR, and creating custom hardware instructions.
