**Join Us for the next Israel LLVM Meetup!** We’re thrilled to invite you to an exciting evening, where we’ll dive deep into cutting-edge compiler technologies and hardware-aware optimizations. This meetup brings together the LLVM community for insightful talks, networking, and discussions on the future of compiler infrastructure. Expect a diverse lineup of sessions covering Triton, MLIR, and LLVM optimizations powered by hardware metrics — perfect for compiler developers, performance engineers, and anyone passionate about high-performance computing. 📅 **Date & Time** **February 18th, 2026** • **17:00** – Arrival & Networking • **17:30** – Talks Begin • **19:00** – Wrap-up 📍 **Venue** [Jem’s Hertzliya](https://share.google/5taousLhsVfY7ox0r) 🎤 **Speakers & Topics** **• Jonathan Cohen - Compiler Engineering Manager - Apple** Title: “Supercharging Compiler Optimization Remarks with Hardware Metrics” Abstract: This session demonstrates how to turn hardware counters with compiler optimization remarks into performance wins. It combines performance analysis metrics with enriched Optimization Remarks to debug and mitigate performance bottlenecks - a challenging task for compiler developers or performance engineers. **• Michael Zuckerman - AI SW Engineering Manager – Majestic Labs AI** Title: “Triton for RISC-V: Bridging PyTorch to RISCV with MLIR & LLVM” Abstract: Triton is a powerful open-source programming model originally developed to generate highly optimized GPU kernels for deep learning workloads. In this talk, I present an extension of Triton to target the RISC-V vector architecture, using MLIR and the LLVM toolchain as the compilation backbone. This work creates a practical bridge between modern PyTorch-based machine learning frameworks and emerging RISC-V hardware platforms, enabling efficient and portable execution of AI workloads beyond traditional GPUs. The proposed integration allows PyTorch models to be lowered end-to-end into RISC-V vector instructions, leveraging open compiler infrastructure to significantly reduce the effort required to enable new hardware targets. I will show how Triton kernels, TorchDynamo graph capture, TorchInductor scheduling, and MLIR/LLVM code generation were aligned into a unified backend that supports rapid bring-up, iterative optimization, and transparent performance tuning. This talk demonstrates how an open, modular compiler stack can accelerate the adoption of flexible hardware architectures in machine learning, while preserving high performance and developer productivity.

But in Node.js, these tools are not free, and used without care they can become a serious performance bottleneck. In this talk, I’ll share real-world lessons from production Node.js systems where adding observability actually degraded performance. We’ll look at the hidden costs of logging, async logging, AsyncLocalStorage, distributed tracing, and high-cardinality metrics — and why these issues often only appear under real load. ​ ​-------------- Kindly be informed that attendance at the meetup is on a first-come, first-served basis until capacity is reached.

In this session, we’ll explore how GitHub Spec-Kit enables teams to treat specifications as first-class artifacts—living documents that drive architecture, implementation, and verification. You’ll learn how Spec-Kit helps teams clearly express intent using structured, version-controlled specs that live alongside code. We’ll walk through a practical workflow that starts with defining system behavior and constraints, then progressively refines those specs into testable, automatable outcomes. Along the way, we’ll show how specs can reduce ambiguity, improve cross-functional collaboration, and make design decisions explicit before a single line of production code is written. This talk will cover: --What spec-driven development is (and what it isn’t) --How GitHub Spec-Kit fits into modern developer workflows --Using specs to align product, engineering, and AI-assisted development --Real-world examples of turning specs into implementations with confidence Whether you’re building greenfield systems, integrating AI into your stack, or trying to reduce costly rework, spec-driven development offers a scalable way to move faster without sacrificing clarity. Attendees will leave with concrete patterns and a clear mental model for adopting GitHub Spec-Kit in their own projects. **YouTube Link** TBA

"The Python library `dlt` provides a powerful [REST API toolkit](https://dlthub.com/docs/dlt-ecosystem/verified-sources/rest_api/basic) to ingest data. Combined with our [LLM scaffolds](https://dlthub.com/workspace) and [MCP server](https://dlthub.com/docs/hub/features/mcp-server), you can build a custom connector for any of the 8k+ available sources in 10 minutes by following this guide. Building with LLMs is an iterative process. We will follow this general workflow and give practical tips for each step." See Our [Parking Map](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1u2A4fLNlxwLJn0KA_hKc8bnFlFHLvsHBDh-_8wzX_tk/edit?usp=sharing) We meet on the last Monday of each Month.
