ThinLTO status in trunk?
Hi Teresa, Impressive results, indeed! (But no less is expected from an Itanium alumni... ;-)) One question, if you don't mind. In the blog post you wrote: "In a few cases ThinLTO even outperforms full LTO, most likely because the higher scalability of ThinLTO allows using a more aggressive backend optimization pipeline (similar to that of a non-LTO build)." Is it due to

[LLVMdev] LTO question
I've been asked how LTO in LLVM compares to equivalent capabilities in GCC. How do the two compare in terms of scalability? And robustness for large applications? Also, are there any ongoing efforts or plans to improve LTO in LLVM in the near future? Any information would be much appreciated. Thanks, --Vikram S.

BoF: Shipping Software as LLVM IR (@Upcoming Dev Mtg)
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.

BoF: Shipping Software as LLVM IR (@Upcoming Dev Mtg)
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

[LLVMdev] Back ends for instructional use?
I'm trying to decide whether to use either the MIPS or ARM back ends for course projects in our introductory compiler class. I'd like to use something that has a stable back end, so that the students can use the selector, probably without changes, and do a project on register allocation and stack layout. We don't have MIPS or ARM hardware (other than possibly a few donated Android

[RFC] IR-level Region Annotations
In this case, inliner is educated to add all local variables to the tag of enclosing parallel region, if there is enclosing parallel region. In our icc implementation, it is even simple, as we have routine level symbol table, the inliner adds ”private” attribute to those local variables w/o checking enclosing scope, the parallelizer does check and use it.

So isn’t it a good example that shows that your intrinsic *cannot* be opaque and that IR passes need to be modified to handle not only the IR-region

[RFC] IR-level Region Annotations
Hi Sanjoy, Yes, that's exactly what we have been looking at recently here, but the region tags seem to make it possible to express the control flow as well, so I think we could start with reg ions+metadata, as Hal and Xinmin proposed, and then figure out what needs to be first class instructions. --Vikram Adve > On Jan 19, 2017, at 11:03 PM, Sanjoy Das <sanjoy at
