Hi XLA devs,

I'm working on a probabilistic modelling library in Idris, and intend to use XLA for the backend. Let me know if this is/isn't right place to ask about this - stack overflow's not the right format.

I'm not clear which files in the tensorflow repo comprise XLA. Could you help me with that?

Are you interested in providing a pure C API for XLA, particular for interfacing with other languages?

Thanks,

Joel

That would be tensorflow/compiler/xla/...

There are some other directories that contain the integration between TF and XLA (like compiler/tf2xla and compiler/jit).

I'm not aware of any plans for such an API. If you need it I'd suggest implementing it downstream in your project.

Thanks. I guess I wasn't very specific. In tensorflow/compiler/xla/ there are docs, tests, and python api stuff. I'm looking for just the C++ API. Which of the other directories are core code or extras like docs and tests?

The C++ API for building HLO graphs is in tensorflow/compiler/xla/client

and I guess all the dependencies for "client" are covered in the tensorflow/compiler/xla/client/BUILD
