Charms

Charms is an Elixir compiler that compiles a subset of Elixir to optimized native code using MLIR. It enables writing performance-critical Elixir code that gets compiled to efficient native binaries while maintaining Elixir's syntax and development workflow.

Features

• defm to define native functions, some examples

  • quick sort
  • vector add

• Multi-threaded compilation, built upon Elixir processes and MLIR's multi-threaded capabilities

• SIMD support

• SIMT support

If available in Hex, the package can be installed by adding charms to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [
    {:charms, "~> 0.1.0"}
  ]
end
