<span style="font-family:Calibri">The Illinois LLVM group is excited to announce the open-source release of
</span><a href="http://hpvm.cs.illinois.edu" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span style="color:blue; font-family:Calibri"><u>HPVM</u></span></a><span style="font-family:Calibri"> (version 0.5), a compiler infrastructure for heterogeneous parallel
systems.</span><br>
<span style="font-family:Calibri">The release includes the </span><span></span><span style="font-family:Calibri">implementation of the IR as well as backends for CPUs and NVIDIA GPUs (using OpenCL). It also comes with an install script that automates the process
of installing LLVM and patches it with HPVM. In addition, a handful of benchmarks as well as unit tests and regression tests are provided with the release.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family:Calibri">HPVM can be downloaded from our public </span><a href="https://gitlab.engr.illinois.edu/llvm/hpvm-release" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span style="color:blue; font-family:Calibri"><u>GitLab repository</u></span></a><span style="font-family:Calibri">.
It requires an installation of LLVM-9, which can be downloaded and installed using our provided install script. All the necessary instructions on how to install and use HPVM are provided in README files at appropriate places in the repository. HPVM is provided
under the Illinois/NCSA Open Source License. Any questions or suggestions can be directed to hpvm-dev@lists.cs.illinois.edu.</span><br>
