<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Hello,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">In support of ongoing efforts with the new Flang compiler that was recently added to LLVM Project, we plan to expand the LLVM Test Suite to include additional Fortran tests. This will require some infrastructure
work, e.g., to specify a Fortran compiler and flags which will then enable the Fortran tests.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">We are focusing on tests in the following area:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">- "smaller" language-centric tests,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">- high-performance computing proxy-apps (particularly from Department of Energy projects), similar to the C/C++ proxy apps we already have,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">- OpenMP tests: multi-threaded and GPU offload (once the OpenMP/parallelism testing support was merged into the LLVM Test Suite, separate thread).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">As a first step we'll include the necessary CMake glue for the Fortran SPEC benchmarks, similar to CMake files we use to run the C/C++ ones.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Comments are welcomes, particularly with respect to LLVM developers interested in collaborating on this effort and ideas for Fortran test suites.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
