# IaRa: Dataflow Programming with the MLIR Framework _by Pedro Ciambra (UniCamp & IETR VAADER) - 2023.04.11_ ###### tags: `VAADER` `Seminar` ![](https://i.imgur.com/iNTv9AB.jpg) ## Video {%youtube hEMYMubfulE %} ## Abstract Existing dataflow tools are difficult to integrate with the state-of-the-art industrial compilers. We approach this problem by creating an IR for static dataflow using MLIR, a flexible and powerful framework for modular compilers, and demonstrate it by implementing a novel dead code elimination optimization that relies on both actor and graph information.
