Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolEgor Chesakov is a compiler engineer with 11 years of experience building high-performance runtimes and language features, currently shaping Metal Shading Language front- and middle-ends on Apple's GPU, Graphics and Display team. He has deep expertise across architectures (x86, ARM, ARM64) and OSes from years on the .NET CLR JIT team at Microsoft, where he implemented major Arm64 hardware intrinsics and low-level JIT improvements. His open-source contributions to prominent projects like dotnet/runtime and CoreRT include CRC32 and bitwise intrinsics, stack-probing helpers, and JIT stability/performance fixes, demonstrating a knack for system-level optimizations. Comfortable in C++, assembly, and managed runtimes, he bridges hardware concepts, language design, and compiler implementation to enable graphics, ML, and game workloads. Notably, he pairs academia (graduate research experience) with production-scale engineering, often validating features in simulation environments before product integration.

This repo contains CoreRT, an experimental .NET Core runtime optimized for AOT (ahead of time compilation) scenarios, with the accompanying compiler toolchain.
Role in this project:Back-end Developer & Systems Engineer
Back-end Developer & Systems EngineerContributions:6 commits in 1 year
Contributions summary:Egor primarily contributed to low-level system intrinsics and optimizations for the .NET Core runtime. Their work included implementing and integrating ARM64 intrinsics for leading-sign and leading-zero count operations, enhancing performance. They also added stack probing helper functions for x86/x64 architectures on various operating systems, improving the runtime's ability to handle large stack frames. Additionally, the user integrated CRC32 and bitwise select instructions.
