I am humbled to receive the NSF CAREER award. This award will support my research on building agile compilers that target emerging hardware accelerators. Special thanks go to my faculty mentors and all who provided feedback on my proposal. cs.illinois.edu/news/Charith%2…

@RanjitJhala Thanks, Ranjit!

@charith_mendis Great stuff - congratulations 🎊🍾🎉!

I am delighted to share that our paper on verifying tensor graph rewrites in tensor compilers received a 🎉distinguished paper award 🎉 at POPL 2025 @poplconf. Congratulations to my student @jaiarora0011 and all the collaborators! Paper: shorturl.at/q2jIO.

@parasjain @poplconf @jaiarora0011 Thanks, Paras!

@charith_mendis @poplconf @jaiarora0011 Congrats!

@amoellercsaudk and I are co-chairing OOPSLA'26 and soliciting PC nominations. If you'd like to serve on the OOPSLA PC next year or know anyone (e.g., recent graduate) who you think would do a good job, please nominate them here: forms.gle/bhnrKuAqJEKFGm…

Extremely happy to share that my first graduated student, Yufeng Wang, won the David J. Kuck Outstanding Master’s Thesis Award at UIUC. He is presenting TGLite, a framework for programming Temporal GNNs at #ASPLOS today. dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.114…

Huge congratulations to my student @chamisudusinghe for winning the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship!

@AishwaryaGanlat Congratulations!! 🎊

Excited to share that our group won the NSF CAREER award (nsf.gov/awardsearch/sh…). This award will be instrumental in bringing the ideas we have in our group to reality!

Special thanks go to TGLite’s contributors and my PhD students: Yufeng Wang and Wanyu Zhao(@wynlla) for the key design ideas and for making TGLite ready for use by the wider ML community.

TBlocks support a comprehensive suite of operators powering optimizations from our previous work on TGOpt (PPoPP23 paper: charithmendis.com/assets/pdf/ppo…) and achieves up to 3x performance benefits over the TGL framework.

📢📢We are thrilled to release TGLite, a high-performance programming framework built on top of PyTorch for Temporal Graph Learning. The key design ideas will appear in our upcoming #ASPLOS24 paper, while the optimizations appear in our #PPOPP23 paper. github.com/ADAPT-uiuc/tgl…
