Design Rationales

This section is planned for future content.

Deep-dive articles on Croqtile's design rationale, tradeoffs, and frontier challenges — similar in spirit to the MLIR rationale documents.

Planned Topics

• Why a DSL instead of a library?
• Shape type system rationale
• Transpilation vs IR: the source-to-source design choice
• Memory ordering and event semantics
• Tileflow optimization passes
• Why symbolic shapes matter for composability
• Warp specialization: compiler scheduling vs user control
