[llvm-dev] GSoC - Improve parallelism-aware analyses and optimizations

[Emanuel Lima via llvm-dev]

Hi Johannes.

I haven't started on the TODO yet because, as I said on the other email, I
believe the project about heuristics and ML is a much better fit for me,
given that this is the theme of my research at the university.
I am just a little lost about what to do next regarding those projects, so
I have been studying LLVM itself in the meantime.
It was such a pleasant surprise that a project so close to my research was
available in GSoC. I hope I will be able to work on it.
