Description

Currently this is low priority because there is no such thing like "libtile", only tileiras which is an executable. We prefer in-process compilation through compiler libraries over subprocess calls to compiler executables such as tileiras and ptxas, so unless there is a strong desire we can hold off for now.

Research direction

Start with the cuda.core.Program API and investigate whether an in-process compiler library for Tile IR exists, since the issue notes that tileiras is currently only an executable. Done would mean defining how Tile IR support could avoid subprocess calls, but the issue does not identify files, tests, or a concrete implementation scope.
