Enabling RISC-V Vector Code Generation in MLIR through Custom xDSL Lowerings

The growing adoption of RISC-V in high-performance and scientific computing has increased the need for performance-portable code targeting the RISC-V Vector (RVV) extension. However, current compiler infrastructures provide limited end-to-end support for generating optimized RVV code from high-level representations to low-level implementations. In particular, existing MLIR distributions lack practical lowering paths that map high-level abstractions to RVV intrinsics, limiting their applicability for production-ready RISC-V kernels. This paper presents a compilation approach that combines MLIR with xDSL to bridge the missing lowering stages required for RVV code generation.

RISC-V basics: The truth about custom extensions

The era of universal processor architectures is giving way to workload-specific designs optimized for performance, power, and scalability. As data-centric applications in artificial intelligence (AI), edge computing, automotive, and industrial markets continue to expand, they are driving a fundamental shift in processor design.
