Agenda

GTC Transition

Pushing to transition FV3 to new toolchain

Pros:
GridTools v2/memory pool
DaCe backends
Plain CUDA backend
Designing optimizations in the Eve-based IRs should be simpler
Experience working with Eve

Cons:
Need to finish numpy backend
Feature work

Question:
If we switch to GTC, should we focus on the GTCUDA backend or plain CUDA backend?

New feature design

Variable vertical offsets
Horizontal ifs
Self-assignments
Numpy backend
Misc frontend changes (for, while loops)

What are the plans moving forward?

Would like to know what the future is!
