'Maintenance and support obligations' - the only maintenance obligations would be don't regress our tests when you change code, that is no different from doing changes to any other target. Chandler raised some pretty important points in his reply, and we will need to address them. In Sam's original email he did say 'We are open to the SelectionDAG/MC approach if the

Here is the revised proposal for the LLVM/SPIR-V converter. Please comment. Thanks. Proposal of Adding SPIRV Target Background SPIR-V is a portable binary format for OpenCL kernels and GLSL shaders. A typical use case of SPIR-V is as follows: 1. An application developer uses Clang to compile an OpenCL kernel source code to a SPIR-V binary which is common for all OpenCL platforms. 2.

So we have been in discussions within the Khronos SPIR-V work group on our push to get our SPIR-V code into tip LLVM and have drawn the following conclusions; * We absolutely must create a fully fledged backend that uses all the machinery that target backends are expected to use. * We probably have to split out the SPIR-V -> LLVM IR into a separate project from LLVM ala Clang et

+1 to lib/Target/SPIRV/(Reader|Writer) I really like this idea. I’ve talked with some people on both the LLVM and Khronos sides and I really think adding SPIR-V support to LLVM as an optional program serialization format would be fantastic. I think it would make it even easier for LLVM-based tools to be integrated into GPU authoring and execution pipelines. I’m really excited to see this moving

It is just a header file. All source code is under lib/Target/SPIRV since they really belong there. Those who want to use the conversion functionality just need to link with the SPIRV target library. Any suggestion about a better location for the header file? Thanks. Sam From: Chris Bieneman [mailto:beanz at apple.com] Sent: Wednesday, June 17, 2015 2:31 PM To: Liu, Yaxun (Sam) Cc: llvmdev at

Hey Tom, Really it was at the behest of the replies - we got a lot of feedback from the mailing list that indicated we'd be putting extra workload of people changing features of the IR if we didn't follow the same mechanisms of the other backends (mostly led by Chandler's very astute comments on the subject).

This is, as you have already pointed out, not the first time we have had this discussion and so far, two years after these discussions were first opened we are not any nearer to a solution that makes sense for all stake holders, hence why I think it prudent to

I note that there was a talk recently at EuroLLVM SPIR-V and LLVM about and so I want to get this message out soon so as to avoid duplicated effort. I have an up to date backend for SPIR-V on an up to date fork (~2-3 weeks behind) of LLVM, transplanted and “modernised” from Khronos’ SPIRV-LLVM that I plan on integrating into LLVM trunk. While it is usable in it’s current form there are several

Yet another implementation of the backend, heh. I’d just started in earnest writing a tablegen based one, with the main goal of fixing the intrinsics to actually be intrinsics. I think it would be a good idea to join forces with the folk at KhronosGroup and consolidate the work done for inclusion into LLVM.
