[LLVMdev] AESOP autoparallelizing compiler

[Timothy Mattausch Creech]

Hi Jiong,
  I actually work day-to-day with Tilera processors and I was very pleased to see your recent mail about the TileGx patch! I have access to a Tile-Gx 8036 myself and am certainly planning to add native TileGx support to AESOP in the near future. (Shouldn't be hard: mostly it will require us to finally upgrade from LLVM 3.0 and compile our runtime dependencies for it.) I expect that we will use Tilera's own barrier implementations (in libtmc) directly in our codegen.
