**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.

#### Turning Rentals Into Income: How Investors Pay Off Properties Faster #### **Featuring Guest Speaker: John Blackburn** **👉 Get your FREE TICKET [HERE](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/turning-rentals-into-income-how-investors-pay-off-properties-faster-tickets-1980492192461?aff=cicmeetupapp)** #### A lot of people get into real estate because they want freedom. Then they buy a rental…and realize most of the rent goes straight to the bank. They technically own property, but the mortgage controls the income. And waiting 30 years for properties to be paid off doesn’t feel realistic. This meetup is about understanding a different way to think about rental properties… one that focuses on paying them off sooner so the income is actually usable. **Featured Guest Speaker: John Blackburn** We’re excited to welcome John Blackburn as our guest speaker for this event. John has been actively investing in real estate since 2006 and has: * Been involved in **5,000+ real estate transactions** * Helped investors **acquire over $150 million in rental property** * **Raised more than $100 million** in private capital John didn’t start with family money or shortcuts. He built his portfolio by focusing on clear systems, real numbers, and long-term strategy. For this meetup, John will walk through how investors shift their focus from simply owning rentals to building properties that eventually pay them…without a mortgage attached. **What You’ll Learn** John will break down, in simple terms: * Why most rental properties don’t produce much usable income early on * Why buying more rentals isn’t always the answer * How investors structure their properties to pay off mortgages in a fraction of the time * How properties can work together to eliminate debt faster * What changes once rentals become free and clear This approach is often referred to as an accelerated paydown strategy — using rental income intentionally to reduce debt sooner, rather than waiting decades for mortgages to run their course. John will also share a simple calculator you can use to see how this works with real numbers and realistic scenarios. **The Core Idea** When a rental has a mortgage, the rent has one job: **pay the bank.** When a rental is paid off, the rent has a different job: **pay you.** Most people only see one timeline…30 years. This session shows how investors shorten that timeline and gradually increase their income as properties become free and clear. **Who This Event Is For** This event is for people who want more than just “owning rentals” on paper. * Rental owners who are tired of most of the rent going to the bank and want a clearer path to real, usable income * New investors who want to understand how rental properties actually build wealth over time before jumping in * People with capital who want to invest in real estate with intention and a long-term plan * Anyone serious about freedom and curious how rental properties transition from debt-heavy assets into income-producing ones **Event Details** **Location:** Ohio Brewing Company - 421 E 2nd Ave, Columbus, OH 43201 **Date & Time:** January 25th, 6–8 PM (Doors open at 5:30) **Cost:** Free (Seats are limited - RSVP required) **👉 Get your FREE TICKET [HERE](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/turning-rentals-into-income-how-investors-pay-off-properties-faster-tickets-1980492192461?aff=cicmeetupapp)** If you’ve ever wondered how rental properties actually turn into freedom —this is the room to be in.
