Hi everyone I am teaching a lecture on hardware/software codesign which, though not a dedicated compiler course, covers quite a bit of compiler related contents (general introduction, intermediate code, code generation). I'm currently considering replacing and/or extending this compiler related lecture parts with an introduction to LLVM as an example for a modern compiler framework, which we are also using extensively in our research. Does anybody know of good teaching materials on LLVM? For example, a basic compiler course that use LLVM as a example? I searched the web a bit but didn't find anything suitable.

However, they are just a bunch and only about specific topics. No general compiler introduction. Furthermore, we did have a lot of interactive discussions, so without having attended the class they may be difficult to understand. It would be great to create a svn branch to share slides for such a course. Cheers Tobi

Though not exactly what I was looking for it is a good inspiration for my own slides.> It would be great to create a svn branch to share slides for such a course.I fully agree. Such slides would be useful for teaching LLVM to other but also for people that want to learn LLVM themselves. Recently AMD has published teaching materials for OpenCL (http://developer.amd.com/zones/openclzone/universities/pages/default.aspx). I think something similar for LLVM would be very helpful.

For my course, I came up with the following set of slides for a basic introduction to LLVM. http://homepages.uni-paderborn.de/plessl/lectures/2011-Codesign/slides/02-Compiler-LLVM.pdf Anyone is welcome to use these slides.> It would be great to create a svn branch to share slides for such a course.Definitely. Such teaching materials would be very useful. Cheers, Christian -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
