Lovely to think such a powerful energy efficient number cruncher might be available for broader use. It feels like this has been nigh impossible to make good use of; maybe incorrect but my impression is Qualcomm has never wanted the hexagon to be in the spotlight, has positioned it as something your BSP maybe used for you. Hexagon-mlir feels like a very necessary renormalization, is a rallying call to get folks interested & using this thing that for decades (the microarchitecture is from 2006, happy birthday) has been there but invisible.
