Thanks, Marco! If there is enough interest in this topic we can also organize a separate round table for this discussion.</div>

Could I suggest adding one more topic to the list related to GPUs? We have just published a prototype for a LLVM backend generating SPIR-V at <a href="https://github.com/KhronosGroup/LLVM-SPIRV-Backend" id="LPNoLP364316">https://github.com/KhronosGroup/LLVM-SPIRV-Backend</a>.
While I won't be present at the round table, inputs from the LLVM community on how to upstream this backend to LLVM would be greatly appreciated.</div>

I would like announce a round table planned for the upcoming LLVM Dev meeting next week that will cover various topics related to the use of LLVM in the compiler stacks for the GPUs.</div>

Here is the initial list of discussion topics:</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; color:rgb(0,0,0)">
<span> - Canonicalization vs. GPUs: Type mutation;<br>
</span>
<div> - Control flow mutation (graphics shaders are more sensitive to this);<br>
</div>
<div> - Divergence/reconvergence sensitivity;<br>
</div>
<span> - Address-space awareness;</span><br>
