<h3>Polly - Polyhedral optimizations for LLVM</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<div>
|
||||
<p>Polly is a project that aims to provide advanced memory access optimizations
|
||||
to better take advantage of SIMD units, cache hierarchies, multiple cores or
|
||||
even vector accelerators for LLVM. Built around an abstract mathematical
|
||||
description based on Z-polyhedra, it provides the infrastructure to develop
|
||||
advanced optimizations in LLVM and to connect complex external optimizers. In
|
||||
its first year of existence Polly already provides an exact value-based
|
||||
dependency analysis as well as basic SIMD and OpenMP code generation support.
|
||||
Furthermore, Polly can use PoCC(Pluto) an advanced optimizer for data-locality
|
||||
and parallelism.</p>

Ruby as possible. Combined with a bytecode interpreting VM, it uses LLVM to
|

optimize and compile ruby code down to machine code. Techniques such as type
|
||||
feedback, method inlining, and deoptimization are all used to remove dynamism
|

from ruby execution and increase performance.</p>

<p><b>LLVM 2.9 was the last release of llvm-gcc.</b></p>
|

|

<p>llvm-gcc is generally very stable for the C family of languages. The only
|
||||
major language feature of GCC not supported by llvm-gcc is the
|
||||
<tt>__builtin_apply</tt> family of builtins. However, some extensions
|
||||
are only supported on some targets. For example, trampolines are only
|
||||
supported on some targets (these are used when you take the address of a
|
||||
nested function).</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Fortran support generally works, but there are still several unresolved bugs
|
||||
in <a href="http://llvm.org/bugs/">Bugzilla</a>. Please see the
|
||||
tools/gfortran component for details. Note that llvm-gcc is missing major
|
||||
Fortran performance work in the frontend and library that went into GCC after
|
||||
4.2. If you are interested in Fortran, we recommend that you consider using
|

<a href="#dragonegg">dragonegg</a> instead.</p>
|

|

<p>The llvm-gcc 4.2 Ada compiler has basic functionality, but is no longer being

actively maintained. If you are interested in Ada, we recommend that you
