LDC targets x86/x86_64 systems like Linux, OS X, FreeBSD and Windows and also Linux/PPC64. Ports to other architectures like ARM, AArch64 and MIPS64 are underway. +Portable Computing Language (pocl) +---------------------------------- + +In addition to producing an easily portable open source OpenCL +implementation, another major goal of `pocl <http://portablecl.org/>`_ +is improving performance portability of OpenCL programs with +compiler optimizations, reducing the need for target-dependent manual +optimizations. An important part of pocl is a set of LLVM passes used to +statically parallelize multiple work-items with the kernel compiler, even in +the presence of work-group barriers. This enables static parallelization of +the fine-grained static concurrency in the work groups in multiple ways. + +TTA-based Co-design Environment (TCE) +------------------------------------- + +`TCE <http://tce.cs.tut.fi/>`_ is a toolset for designing new +exposed datapath processors based on the Transport triggered architecture (TTA). +The toolset provides a complete co-design flow from C/C++ +programs down to synthesizable VHDL/Verilog and parallel program binaries. +Processor customization points include the register files, function units, +supported operations, and the interconnection network. + +TCE uses Clang and LLVM for C/C++/OpenCL C language support, target independent +optimizations and also for parts of code generation. It generates +new LLVM-based code generators "on the fly" for the designed processors and +loads them in to the compiler backend as runtime libraries to avoid +per-target recompilation of larger parts of the compiler chain. + Additional Information ====================== |
