Director

Anshu Dasgupta

Anshu Dasgupta has been involved with LLVM since its early days contributing his first patch in 2004 as part of his research on runtime compilation. At Qualcomm, he co-authored the Hexagon LLVM backend and helped drive the transition from GCC to LLVM as the company’s primary compiler framework. He later led teams developing LLVM-based compiler technologies for all non-GPU Snapdragon processors including ARM, RISC-V, Hexagon DSP, and other microcontrollers. LLVM and its community have played a significant role in his career and he values the openness and collaboration the community embodies. Through his work with the Foundation, he aims to help sustain and build on that culture as the LLVM family of projects continues to expand. He is currently a Senior Director at NVIDIA working on LLVM-based CUDA compilers.

Interested in being on the board?

The Board of Directors consists of at 9 members serving 2 year terms, which then elect the next set of board members. In terms of time commitment, the board typically meets every month for 2 hours and every board member should plan on attending each meeting.

 

At times a board member will take lead on a particular issue, doing the background research needed, forming a proposal, bringing to the Board for productive discussion and vote. Board members are expected to monitor the board mail lists to address time critical issues or continue discussions between board meetings. Board members should plan on attending at least EuroLLVM or the US LLVM Developers’ Meeting. In addition to the regular meeting, board members are expected to participate with and drive efforts aligned with the mission and three programs above. Officers of the Board (Secretary, Treasurer, President) have additional duties and time commitments.

​

Board applications are announced on the LLVM Discourse about 2 months before the next term.
