How to pronounce“lvm”in English

everywhere lvm for example builds the Android kernel oh wow okay so um okay I

Define lvm is effectively an infrastructure so you can mix and match it in different ways it's built libraries you can use it for different

about lvm and so we fixed a lot of the mistakes that lived in LV so now you have this community Dynamic where it's like well there's

about LVM over the course of time is that we've managed somehow to successfully get harsh competitors in the commercial space to collaborate on

to llvm and so lvm actually does the code generation in fact a lot of times they'd say yeah it's super easy to write a compiler if you're not writing the

have been working at lvm for 10 years right because this happen some somehow and lvm has always been one way but it needs to be a different way right and

on and lvm has lots of problems and we need to address them and we need to make it better and if we don't make it better then somebody else will come up with a

part of the lvm family right um but where this comes full circle is now folks that work on the lvm part the classic part that's 20 years old um

hardware support and so LVM is really that that layer that is common that all these different specific compilers can use and is that is it a standard like a

magnitude more patches in LVM than anybody else and many of those I wrote

solutions for a given space so lvm is a it's really good for dealing CPUs let's

were the things you connected with so LVM there's also the other part this is

gone away and the nonprofit the the LVM foundation nonprofit helps oversee all the business sides of things and make sure that the events that the Elven

has been good and what LVM has done wrong and it's a chance to fix that and also there are challenges in the LLVM ecosystem as well where LVM is very good

then we'll go to Hardware is um lvm is is a specific compiler for specific

and so interesting things that have happened with LVM for example sony has picked up lv m and used it to do all the graphics compilation in their movie

believe somebody point out to me recently that LVM is now older than GCC

places so uh okay so Swift Swift swift is built on top of lvm lvm runs

its own challenges over time too right and one of the challenges that um the lvm community has in my opinion is that it has a whole bunch of people that um

because it depends on what which angle you're looking at it from LVM ends up being a bunch of code okay so it's a bunch of code that people

compiler on top of but it's also a community and the LVM community is hundreds of people that all collaborate and one of the most fascinating things

them and and with in the case of component in the case of LVM when I

example and 64-bit transitions and then the transition to almost the iPhone and so LVM was very useful for some of these kinds of things but at the same time

funny things about LLVM is that my wife who's amazing runs the the LVM

them to people so that they can buy into them and that that is hard and so you mentioned lvm lvm is uh going to be 20 years old uh this December so it's it's

yeah look to the uh scientific Community they still use forun quite a bit interesting thing you kind of mentioned with lvm or just in general that if

domain mlr is now this very general very flexible thing that can solve lots of different kinds of problems so lvm is a subset of what ml does so m is I mean

happens within a very small circle of people yes I'd like at least the early birth and whatever yes so the LVM came from a university project and so I was

and so likewise Nvidia cares a lot about CUDA and so CUDA uses clang and uses LVM

like that this then gets lowered into what's called an intermediate representation and intermediate representations are like LVM has one and

can be done but it wasn't designed for that and that's one of the reasons the LVM has been very successful in the research world as well but in the in the

successful and became deployed but then there was a question about how how do we actually purse the source code so LVM is that back part the optimizer and the

energy that has been useful in the compiler field before beyond that mor is some people have joked that it's kind of LVM to it learns a lot about what LVM

other women to get interested in compilers and things like this and so she hands out the stickers and people like the LVM sticker because a game of

The CUDA kernels go through LVM, which is Turing complete,

- I started that project and I'm like, okay, well, I wanna build a C parser, C++ parser for LVM?

uh pandemic cake pandemic cake everybody gets a slice of cake and it gets you know sent through email um but the uh uh but lvm has had tons of

it's an ambitious project then yeah it's a very ambitious project yeah and so to make it even more confusing ml has joined the lvm umbrella project so it's

felt like it should be done and that was fine but I think scale you can't do that right and so what ends happening as LVM has a hierarchical

yes so the the funny thing after working on compilers for a really long time is that and one of this is one of the things that LVM has helped with is that
