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 `_ 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. + WebCL Validator --------------- -- cgit v1.2.3
