- MLIR allows for representing multiple levels of abstraction all together in the same IR/function. Visualizing MLIR modules therefore requires going beyond visualizing a graph of nodes all at the same level (which is not trivial in and of itself!), nor is it specific to Machine Learning. Beyond visualizing a MLIR module, there is also visualizing MLIR itself that is of interest. In particular, visualizing the rewrite rules, visualizing the matching process (including the failure to match, sort of like https://www.debuggex.com/ but for declarative rewrites), considering effects of rewrites over time, etc. The visualizations should all be built with open source components but whether standalone (e.g., combining with, say, GraphViz to generate offline images) or dynamic tools (e.g., displayed in browser) is open for discussion. It should be usable completely offline in either case. We will be working with interested students to refine the exact project based on interests given the wide scope of potential approaches. And open to proposals within this general area.
