[LLVMdev] LLVM documentation work help

Mon Dec 3 20:37:28 PST 2012

Wei-Ren,

Sorry, currently, I have an English helper in documentation. The cpu0 is my brother teaching material for college, and I did llvm backend compiler tutorial  for cpu0 since I didn't find a good tutorial in llvm backend design.

As I know, there are many way to contribute back to open source or llvm. For example, write qemu for cpu0 is a extended work in cpu0 llvm backend design. Or write program in llvm Mips backend to allow it run on Mips qemu environment (I don't know if there is a way to run the Mips backend code on X86 platform through qemu). Or you can start with a very different CPU, like DSP processor, as llvm backend design. I think, there are peoples interested with this.

Actually, I am jobless at home. I do this work for career and try to find a compiler pay job. I don't know your situation. Anything as above I mentioned need a lot of time to work. You can discuss with me first. I will pass the information to Sean when you choose a topic.

Best regards

Jonathan
