Description

Compilers are the future of networking!

In this workshop we will discuss how compilers are developing to accelerate network processing with new technicques, and how essential they are for the higher throughput and flexibility that datacenters need.

We will discuss different abstractions for network problems that compilers can leverage to optimize networking and how different abstractions and languages transform to actual programs and instructions for optimal execution on next-generation network devices.

Topics might include: eBPF compilers, P4 compilers, MLIR, new intermediate representations, data flow analysis, multi-platform support, static analysis, and other advanced topics related to compilers and networking.
