llvm dev - Jun 2012 - [LLVMdev] A simple tutorial on generating PTX assembler out of Ada source code using LLVM NVPTX backend

Dear LLVM,

FWIW, attached presentation provides a simple jump-start tutorial for
newbies to start doing something useful with LLVM, DragonEgg, NVPTX backend
and some custom high-level language. Along with short software overview
from the user perspective it contains instructions on building components
necessary to experiment with NVPTX and an example usecase of generating PTX
assembler out of the Ada source code with help of DragonEgg.

Best,
- Dima.

very amusing! :)  I'm curious to know though: do you think many people
are interested in this kind of thing?

Best wishes, Duncan.

  We should collect this kind of tutorial and put them on the website. ;)
