[llvm-dev] LLVM Compiler Social Zurich - October 12, 2017
Dear all, we will be organizing a "Zurich Compiler and Code Generation Social" this Thursday and invite you to attend. # Registration https://www.meetup.com/llvm-compiler-and-code-generation-socials-zurich/events/243488540/ # What A social meetup to discuss compilation and code generation questions with a focus on LLVM, clang, Polly and related projects. Our primary focus is to provide a venue (and drinks & snacks) that enables free discussions between interested people without imposing an agenda/program. This is a great opportunity to informally discuss your own projects, get project ideas or just learn about what people at ETH and around Zurich are doing with LLVM. Related technical presentations held by participants are welcome (please contact us). # Who: - Anybody interested - - ETH students and staff - LLVM developers and enthusiasts external to ETH # When: 12.10.2016, 19:00 # Where: CAB E 72 # What is LLVM ? LLVM (http://www.llvm.org) is an open source project that provides a collection of modular compiler and toolchain technologies. It is centered around a modern SSA-based compiler around which an entire ecosystem of compiler technology was developed. Most well know is the clang C++ compiler, which is e.g. used to deploy iOS. Beyond this a diverse set of projects is developed under the umbrella of LLVM. These include code generators and assemblers for various interesting architectures, a jit compiler, a debugger, run-time libraries (C++ Standard Library, OpenMP, Opencl library), program sanity checkers, and many more. LLVM has itself grown out of a research project more than 10 years ago and is the base of many exciting research projects today: https://scholar.google.ch/scholar?cites=7792455789532680075&as_sdt=2005&sciodt=0,5&hl=de Best, Tobias
