[LLVMdev] LLVM parallel annotations

[Herbert Jordan]

Hi Lef,

my name is Herbert and I'm the designer of INSPIRE.

With INSPIRE we could establish a unified model for all kind of parallel 
interfaces, similar to the objectives you are targeting with your work. 
Yet, our IR is based on a high-level IR for various other reasons. 
Nevertheless, I guess the general parallel concepts should be adaptable 
to LLVM as well.

In addition to the paper you cited, our IR constructs and in particular 
its parallel primitives are covered in fare more detail by this thesis 
[1<http://www.dps.uibk.ac.at/~csaf7445/pub/phd_thesis_jordan.pdf>].

In case you have any questions, or you'd like to discuss design 
decisions we made for our IR, I'm glad to provide answers and/or 
contributions to upcoming discussions.

Cheers,
Herbert
