Could you build this?

No Building a tiling compiler to schedule and optimize ML tensor operations for memory-constrained embedded hardware requires deep research-level knowledge of compiler design and hardware architectures.

What it would actually take: The compiler would typically be written in C++ or Rust, likely leveraging MLIR/LLVM infrastructure, polyhedral loop analysis, and micro-architecture performance modeling. The hardest part is formulating and solving NP-hard loop tiling, memory footprint optimization, and scratchpad allocation constraints under extreme hardware limits. This requires PhD-level expertise in compiler construction, domain-specific hardware accelerators, and high-performance numerical kernels.
