HTP

HTP asks how a retargetable compiler can stay understandable instead of becoming an opaque stack. The project builds a compiler substrate for heterogeneous tensor programs whose intermediate forms remain readable, inspectable, and interpretable to both human developers and LLM agents.

The high-level idea is simple: retargeting should not require giving up visibility. Rather than burying decisions inside backend-specific lowering pipelines, HTP keeps the important compiler state exposed so optimization, debugging, and retargeting can be followed and revised step by step.
