The silicon landscape has fractured. The pursuit of performance has created a babel of proprietary languages, locked ecosystems, and isolated architectures. Optimization for one is obsolescence for another. This is a tax on human progress.
OTIR provides a unified lowering path for the world's most capable silicon. From massive datacenter GPUs to specialized edge NPUs, the abstraction remains constant.
OTIR code describes intent, not implementation. It defines explicit memory hierarchies (`Global`, `Workgroup`, `Private`) and asynchronous data movement, allowing the compiler to perform architectural-specific optimizations such as pipeline software prefetching and warp scheduling.
