Chenyang Liu is a compiler developer at Intel with a PhD in Computer Engineering from Purdue and over a decade of experience bridging research and production compiler/runtime systems. He focuses on LLVM-based transformations and optimizations for real-world benchmarks like SPEC2017 and CoreMark, drawing on prior Qualcomm work optimizing modem memory subsystems across IoT to Snapdragon platforms. His background blends low-level performance engineering—profiling, instruction scheduling, and hardware-accelerated compression—with research in task-parallel languages and dynamic runtime optimizations for HPC. Comfortable prototyping across compile-time, link-time, and post-link phases, he also brought ML/AI-aware custom-instruction prototypes to Qualcomm’s Hexagon. Based in Portland, he pairs academic rigor with practical delivery and a continuing interest in ML, HPC, and C++ toolchains.
