[LLVMdev] Is LLVM compatible with AMD?

[Villmow, Micah]

You can find out about OpenCL here:
http://www.khronos.org/opencl/

That being said, AMD OpenCL is not a target of LLVM. AMD uses LLVM for its optimizer and code generation paths for the OpenCL compiler.

So, AMD OpenCL is another target for LLVM?

Where I can learn about OpenCL?

Thanks.

Hi all!

I'm getting starting with LLVM, and I'm creating a new cross-platform programming language LLVM-based with a Standard Library POSIX-based. The language has sintatic sugar of Object Pascal and Ruby.

My doubt is if LLVM is compatible with AMD (e.g. Fusion), allowing so that my StdLib can be used to create Games, in future...
[Villmow, Micah] AMD uses LLVM for its OpenCL compilers which run on Fusion parts and LLVM itself can generate X86 code. However, there currently is no way to target the X86 GPU’s directly. You might want to look at the Gallium3D project(Linux only) for a way to do this.

Regards!
