Article Summary:
The author built a tiny compiler (~180LOC of Python) to understand the transformation of regular-looking code into a simpler, more explicit form where data parallelism is visible, with a focus on lowering kernels (rewriting them into a simpler form where data parallelism is visible) and replacing for loops with vector_for loops.
