Since LLVM’s release as an open source compiler infrastructure in October 2003, companies including Apple, Adobe, and Cray have incorporated it into their commercial products, reflecting its simplicity, flexibility, and versatility. Lattner joined Apple, Inc. in 2005, and is currently the chief architect of the Apple Compiler Group. He is to receive the award at the 2010 Programming Language Design and Implementation (<span class="link-external" style="background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; padding-top: 1px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 0px; "><a href="http://www.cs.stanford.edu/pldi10/" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(67, 105, 118); background-color: transparent; text-decoration: none; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: solid; ">PLDI</a></span>) conference in Toronto, Canada, June 5 to 10.<b> </b></span></span></font></div><div><br></div><div>Read more about it here:</div><div><br></div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span><a href="http://www.acm.org/press-room/news-releases/2010/sigplan-software-award/view">http://www.acm.org/press-room/news-releases/2010/sigplan-software-award/view</a><div><br></div><div>Congratulations to Chris on this well-deserved award!</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>- Doug</div></div>_______________________________________________<br>cfe-dev mailing list<br><a href="mailto:cfe-dev@cs.uiuc.edu">cfe-dev@cs.uiuc.edu</a><br>http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/cfe-dev<br></blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
