Hi Nikolaos, Following commands work great for me. $ clang -S -emit-llvm -target nvptx -x cl -include clc/clctypes.h ../data-types/scalar.cl $ llc -mcpu=sm_30 scalar.s You can follow Justin's blog [1]. It helped me a lot to understand where to start. [1] http://jholewinski.org/blog/llvm-3-0-ptx-backend/ Best, Ankur On Mon, Feb 4, 2013 at 11:40 PM, Justin Holewinski < justin.holewinski

Hi all, i'm writing a TXL (http://www.txl.ca) grammar and a revamp of bison/flex grammar for LLVM. I've noticed an inconsistency regarding label naming conventions. For instance, the following is a segment of legit LLVM assembly (human-readable) IR: br i1 %38, label %17, label %39 ; <label>:39 ; preds = %._crit_edge ret void

Hi all, i'm just starting out with LLVM (although i've been observing its evolution since that first release some years ago :) I would like to develop a backend for a generic assembly-like language, called NAC (N-Address Code). More info on NAC can be found here: http://www.nkavvadias.com/hercules/nac-refman.html (HTML) http://www.nkavvadias.com/hercules/nac-refman.pdf (PDF) You

Alright, couple of points here: 1. Address space 0 is invalid for global variables. This is causing a crash in llc where we use llvm_unreachable() on this case. This is most likely why you're seeing llc run forever. The fix for this is to use address space 1 for globals, which puts them into PTX global memory. On our side, we should provide a meaningful error message in this case. 2. The

Hi all, I'm trying to use the newly added (in LLVM 3.2) NVPTX backend for producing PTX (Parallel Thread eXecution) assembly from simple C programs. While using llc with -march for mips and x86 works, -march=nvptx doesn't work. This seems reasonable since I can see that the libLLVMNVPTXAsmPrinter.a library is about 500 bytes (thus empty). However, the strange thing is that
