Tobias Grosser 225dca7838 GPGPU: Test scalar/array types i1/i3/i8/i32/i60/i64/i80/i120/i128/i3000
Arrays with integer base type are similar to arrays with floating point types,
with the exception that LLVM's integer types can take some odd values. We
add a selection of different values to make sure we correctly round these
types when necessary.

References to scalar integer types are special, as we currently do not model
these types as array accesses as they are considered 'synthesizable' by Polly.
As a result, we do not generate explicit data-transfers for them, but instead
will need to keep track of all references to 'synthesizable' values separately.

At the current stage, this is only visible by missing host-to-device
data-transfer calls. In the future, we will also require special code generation
strategies.

Polly - Polyhedral optimizations for LLVM
-----------------------------------------
http://polly.llvm.org/

Polly uses a mathematical representation, the polyhedral model, to represent and
transform loops and other control flow structures. Using an abstract
representation it is possible to reason about transformations in a more general
way and to use highly optimized linear programming libraries to figure out the
optimal loop structure. These transformations can be used to do constant
propagation through arrays, remove dead loop iterations, optimize loops for
cache locality, optimize arrays, apply advanced automatic parallelization, drive
vectorization, or they can be used to do software pipelining.
