MLIR has become popular since it was open sourced in 2019. A sub-project of LLVM, the flexibility provided by MLIR to represent Intermediate Representations (IR) as dialects at different abstraction levels, to mix these, and to leverage transformations between dialects provides opportunities for automated program optimisation and parallelisation. In addition to general purpose compilers built upon MLIR, domain specific abstractions have also been developed.
