similar to: [LLVMdev] LLVM+GCC collaboration BoF

Dear community, We are trying to setup a BoF ( Raising Next Generation of LLVM Developers, http://sched.co/8Yzs). In our academic-oriented environments the main work force is students: undergrads, grads or PhD (rarely postdocs). Often we have limited time to bring somebody up to speed and we have to it in a productive and motivating for both parties way. I believe most of you had

Hi LLVM’ers! We are hosting a BoF at this year's Dev Meeting on a subject we hope will be of interest to some (many?) of you: shipping software (entirely) as LLVM IR. You can find our proposal in the meeting schedule online: https://llvmdevelopersmeetingbay2016.sched.org/event/8Yzq/shipping-software-as-llvm-ir The BoF is scheduled to last 45 minutes, which will go by very quickly! To make

Hi Vikram, It is a bit more that just “efficient (de)serialization” as there is some amount of tradeoff to make between “size” vs “speed” vs “flexibility” (which are all some sort of “efficient”). For instance what if we get a faster deserialization but got larger size? That might be an issue for some people who’d like to ship bitcode. Another thing is that we may get better speed/size by

Hi Mehdi, Yes, we did see your earlier post. Efficient (de)serialization is definitely important for both exporting (a la LTO and ThinLTO) and for shipping code as IR. I expect most use cases of the latter would benefit. -—Vikram // Vikram S.

Hi all, Some discussions the night before prompted me to do a short lightning talk on 'improving the experience of first-time contributors' at the LLVM Cauldron back in September. I intended to write it up as an RFC, but have only just got round to doing so. I've tried to make this email self-contained, but you may still want to look at the slides or recording of the lightning talk.

Hi I am late to the party. Here is my personal take of the topic: * Do you ship software as IR today? What lessons have you learned? Yes. We accept AppStore submission in bitcode (LLVM IR). The core function in clang is upstreamed and you can look up the related code path triggered by -fembed-bitcode option. * Challenges of shipping software as IR Compatibility: We are trying to enhance the

Call for Talks, Tutorials, BoFs, Panels, Student Research Competition, and More! All developers and users of LLVM and related sub-projects are invited to present at the 2018 LLVM Developers’ Meeting <https://llvm.org/devmtg/2018-10/>. We are looking for the following proposals: Technical Talks (30 minutes including Q&A): - On LLVM Infrastructure,Clang and all related sub-projects - On

All, I have arranged for an LLVM BoF at SC13 in Denver: http://sc13.supercomputing.org/schedule/event_detail.php?evid=bof143 If you will be at SC13, have an interesting project based on or within LLVM, and would be willing to come to the BoF and spend 10 minutes or so giving an overview of it, please email me. I am trying to get a collection of people together to talk about vectorization and

The deadline is tonight! Get your proposal in :) -Tanya > On Jul 27, 2018, at 11:19 AM, Tanya Lattner <tanyalattner at llvm.org> wrote: > > Just a reminder that this deadline is coming up.

Hi All, I've listed the current topics of interest below, along with some notes on each. We only have 30 minutes so we'll barely scratch the surface of these during the BoF itself. My main aims are for you to meet each other, identify potential areas of collaboration, identify things that I can do to unblock you, and get the ball rolling on some conversations that we can continue on the

Folks, As most of you know, I held a BoF at the cauldron where we discussed the interactions between LLVM and GCC, and the overall response was very positive. Here are some of the highlights, complementing Alex's great summary on the blog. 1. Driver ======= This was probably the most contentious issue. Compiler drivers are complex pieces of spaghetti code and each target's

Debugging optimized code is a topic that generated a lot of interest at previous dev meetings, but often fell somewhat short since we've all been very busy with improving the compile-time performance impact of debug info. This year we'd like to make up for this by inviting to a dedicated session on just "-O" and "-g"! We will be giving a quick introduction to summarize

So I suggest a different setup for this topic: how about having a working group meeting with participants who can commit time to work on this topic? Mine too, but in this case I have to say it wasn't at all what happened. It

Hey folks, Do we have proposals for an HPC focused BoF at EuroLLVM? I'd like to discuss the current efforts around integrating Polly, parallel IR efforts and vectoriser support in VPlan (like outer loop), as well as coordination on the next steps around Flang. -- cheers, --renato

I am going to submit a proposal for a Xen BOF at DC18. Here is my first cut at a draft abstract: Title: Xen in Debian BoF Format: workshop with 25 min slot The Xen packages in Debian are in need of some work, including some tidying up, upstreaming of some Makefile patches, and updating to new versions. There is a large outstanding bug list. Also with the demise of Alioth and the

Sanjoy, Joseph, and I will be hosting a BoF on using LLVM to build compilers for managed languages. We're curious to hear who's planning on attending and what topics you'd like to hear about. Depending on the expected audience, we're happy to do anything between a rough "what to expect getting started" to a down in the weeds working session on relevant optimization

We are pleased to announce the first LLVM Cauldron, to be held on Thursday September 8th 2016 in Hebden Bridge, UK. This is the day before the GNU Tools Cauldron being held at the same venue, so we hope to take advantage of the high concentration of compiler enthusiasts and to encourage lots of cross-pollination between communities. This will be a one-day conference with a single talks track and

I'll happily propose one. I just usually wait for someone to bring it up. :) -eric On Aug 27, 2014 3:13 PM, "David Blaikie" <dblaikie at gmail.com> wrote: > I haven't heard of one being proposed, but happy to chat.

Hi, Has anyone proposed a BOF on debug info for the next dev meeting? The one last year was quiet informative. This year the date might coincide with me trying to figure out how to make debug info processing lazier during LTO, so it would be an awesome opportunity to discuss it with developers that are more familiar with it :-) Cheers, Rafael

Hi Nadav, Unfortunately I'm not attending the dev meeting, but the BoF looks interesting. One thing that I'd like to throw into the mix is that, while dealing with autovectorisation of LLVM compiled down from C-like languages (or maybe Fortran-like languages) is clearly a very big area for fruitful work both algorithmically and in terms of practical relevance, it'd also be interesting
