[LLVMdev] Python to VHDL using LLVM; was "Re: LLVMdev Digest, Vol 123, Issue 3"

[Kevin Modzelewski]

Yep we're doing a bit of Python-to-LLVM and would be happy to chat, but as
Reid said I don't think Pyston would be helpful if you wanted to target
anything other than local execution.  There are some other Python-to-LLVM
projects out there: I'll shamelessly plug the predecessor to Pyston,
"icbd", as something that might be more relevant, since it's a static
Python-to-llvm compiler.
https://github.com/kmod/icbd/tree/master/icbd/compiler

Another interesting project is Numba ( http://numba.pydata.org/ ) -- I
believe they focus more on the HPC/numerical computing use case, which
might be likely to be a match given the target of VHDL.

I'm not familiar with any LLVM-to-VHDL HLS tools, but I imagine they have
to exist (a quick search for "LLVM HLS" turns up some results).
