[LLVMdev] Request for compilers

Hi Ganesh,

Please have a look at:

These core parts of LLVM:

http://llvm.org/docs/doxygen/html/classllvm_1_1Loop.html#a72bbf45d2e00971f56bf8cfe4e1df01c
 http://llvm.org/docs/Vectorizers.html

These research projects based on LLVM:
  http://polly.llvm.org
  http://aesop.ece.umd.edu

I'm not sure what you mean by "identify intrinsic functions". If you really
mean LLVM intrinsics, they are trivial to identify in LLVM (see
http://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html#intrinsic-functions for a high level
introduction). If you mean something like idiom recognition, some
optimizations of LLVM do this but typically just recognize the idioms as
they optimize.

LLVM doesn't include loop fusion, but Polly may help there. Likewise, Polly
and AESOP are probably your best bets for things like memory access
patterns and auto-parallelization.

All the best,

Stefanus
