In this talk I'll give a brief background on e-graphs and equality saturation, attempting to distill the reasons behind the significant interest in this approach. I'll then present my research, in collaboration with Intel, into high-performance circuit design exploring how equality saturation can help us to design efficient computational circuits. Lastly I will outline the goals for my short time in Cambridge, contributing to the CIRCT project.
Bio:
Sam Coward originally completed a maths degree at Cambrigdge, but has since moved into digitial circuit design. His PhD at Imperial College London with Prof. George Constantinides primarily explored how to leverage and extend equality saturation to automate arithmetic circuit design and verification. He has recently joined Tobias Grosser's group in Cambridge for a short post-doc.
