About me

Hey there! I'm Aayush Khanna from Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India. I am a third year undergrad pursuing civil engineering at the Indian institute of Technology (BHU), Varanasi. I am interested in all things related to tech in general! more recently, I've been trying to learn how interpreters work. I am also a huge football enthusiast :)

Project overview

My project aims to advance the state of LAPACK routines in stdlib, by extending conventional LAPACK APIs which ensures easy compatibility with stdlib ndarrays and adding support for both row-major (C-style) and column-major (Fortran-style) storage layouts. The project covers both lower level helper routines and higher level user facing routines. To further optimize these routines, techniques such as loop reordering and loop tiling were be used. A lot of time was spent on benchmarking and testing of these routines against the actual LAPACK implementations as well!

Project recap

I started off by parsing the LAPACK source code into a directed graph where the nodes represent a LAPACK routine and the edges represent dependencies between these routines. To pick out which routines to work on first, I performed a topological sorting and started working on the ones with no dependencies. I've documented the process in this repository!
