A random walk through Julia's compiler with Valentin Churavy

About this Event

In March we welcome [Valentin Churavy](https://github.com/vchuravy) to talk about the [Julia frontend](https://julialang.org) for LLVM. Valentin is a long-term contributor to JuliaLang, JuliaGPU and EnzymeAD. He is a Research Software Engineer at [JGU](https://www.uni-mainz.de/) and Uni Augsburg, and graduated from MIT where he did his doctorate in the [JuliaLab](https://julia.mit.edu/). Julia is a high-level dynamic programming language that is widely used in technical computing. Let's explore how Julia uses LLVM to target CPUs, accelerators and even synthesize gradients. Small snacks and drinks will be available. There is always space for outside topics and discussions. If you have specific questions, please bring them. Looking forward to meeting everyone again!
