# Charms

[![Package](https://img.shields.io/badge/-Package-important)](https://hex.pm/packages/charms) [![Documentation](https://img.shields.io/badge/-Documentation-blueviolet)](https://hexdocs.pm/charms)

Charms is an Elixir compiler that compiles a subset of Elixir to optimized native code using MLIR. It enables writing performance-critical Elixir code that gets compiled to efficient native binaries while maintaining Elixir's syntax and development workflow.

## Features

- [x] `defm` to define native functions, some examples

  - [quick sort](/bench/enif_quick_sort.ex)

  - [vector add](/bench/vec_add_int_list.ex)

- [x] Multi-threaded compilation, built upon Elixir processes and MLIR's multi-threaded capabilities

- [ ] SIMD support

- [ ] SIMT support

## Installation

If [available in Hex](https://hex.pm/docs/publish), the package can be installed

by adding `charms` to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:

```elixir

def deps do

  [

    {:charms, "~> 0.1.0"}

  ]

end

```

## Development

To run the benchmarks:

```sh

mix run bench/sort_benchmark.exs

mix run bench/list_add_benchmark.exs

```
