Come see why the most powerful tool in your stack is likely the one you’re already running. ## ​\*\*[Nadav (Kremer) Beker](https://www.linkedin.com/in/nadav-kremer/overlay/about-this-profile/) \|\*\* Tech Lead at **Finonex**\| **How Observability Killed My Performance** ​Logs, traces, metrics, correlation IDs — observability promises clarity when systems get complex. 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.

**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.

**Abstract:** The Advanced Photon Source (APS) is an X-ray light source at Argonne National Laboratory where researchers perform imaging, diffraction and spectroscopy experiments at 68 specialized beamlines. APS recently completed a major upgrade that made it the brightest synchrotron in the world and upgraded many of the beamlines to take advantage of the dramatically brighter, more coherent beam. These new capabilities are increasing the facility’s raw data production from <10 PB/year before the upgrade to >100 PB/year once all instruments are back online. To meet this data challenge, the APS Beamline Data Pipeline project team is partnering with beamline staff to develop and deploy science data pipelines that use a common set of open-source software tools (many written in Python) to link instruments with the Polaris supercomputer at the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF) for data processing. This talk will describe the APS data systems, our file-based and streaming pipeline templates, and some of the open-source software we use to extract scientific insights from beamline data. **Audience Takeaway:** Open source Python data acquisition and analysis tools are ubiquitous at the APS. Many of the packages that are mentioned can be found at [https://github.com/AdvancedPhotonSource](https://github.com/AdvancedPhotonSource). This is a *hybrid* event. To attend online, join us on Zoom here at 6pm: [https://numfocus-org.zoom.us/j/89399976851?pwd=UEgMUZXdYmKdK1x1dIPL6hwUYnp7NW.1](https://numfocus-org.zoom.us/j/89399976851?pwd=UEgMUZXdYmKdK1x1dIPL6hwUYnp7NW.1) **Sponsor**: Grainger will provide the meeting site, as well as snacks for the onsite participants. * **Address:** 222 W Merchandise Mart Plaza, 18th Floor, Chicago, IL 60654 * **Grainger's Overview:** W.W.
