search for: paralleliation

...tand why we need intrinsics. Won't calls to runtime routines work just fine? Ah, Sanjoy had a link to your proposal in his message. Again, I only skimmed the document, but I was left with the question, "why not just make calls to runtime routines?" What is the reason for the "paralleliation metadata?" It seems to me this implies/requires that LLVM have knowledge of parallel semantics. That would be very unfortunate. -David

...transformation". Locking it with target machine's OpenMP runtime calls from the very beginning is not the best way to acheive these goals. Same with physical registers -- this must be the reason why they invented virtual ones several decades ago. > What is the reason for > the "paralleliation metadata?"

Andrey, I am very glad to see that you're interested in working on this! I have a few comments: As you may know, this is the third such proposal over the past two months, one by me (http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvmdev/2012-August/052472.html) and the other, based somewhat on mine, by Sanjoy (http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvmdev/2012-September/053798.html) In order for your

Hi All, We'd like to make a proposal for OpenMP representation in LLVM IR. Our goal is to reach an agreement in the community on a simple, complete and extensible representation of OpenMP language constructs in LLVM IR. Hopefully, this would serve as a common ground and would enable further development of OpenMP support both in Clang and LLVM compiler toolchain. We seek feedback on the
