Thank you for comments and sorry for missing information.  VE is a NEC SX Aurora vector engine.  We ported llvm/clang/libraries to VE.  We are upstreaming this port following the RFC, https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2019-April/131580.html.  VE is implemented as an accelerator.  Ported llvm runs on x86 and generates binary programs for VE as a cross-compiler.  At the moment, VE is an experimental target.  We've upstreamed llvm/clang.  Now we are upstreaming libraries like builtin/libunwind/libcxx in order to run llvm-test-suite.  After that, we will try to make this VE as an official target in llvm with test-suite results.

- The VEOS is an OS running on this accelerator.  The VEOS is a linux subset, but almost all features are implemented.
- This is part of an effort to port not only libc++ but also clang/llvm.  VE has it's own proprietary c++ compiler and c++ library.  We ports llvm/clang/libc++ to provide not a proprietary compiler and libraries for VE.
- As far as I know, whole part of libc++ is working on VEOS well through libc++ test suite.  Localization is working fine also.
- Yes, we will provide CI to make VE as an official target of llvm.
