[LLVMdev] Supporting heterogeneous computing in llvm, follow up.

[Heinrich Riebler]

Hello Chris,

your work sounds very interesting.

We are working on something quite similar. Our system, called BAAR 
(Binary Acceleration at Runtime), analyzes an application in LLVM IR at 
runtime, identifies hotspots and generates parallelized and vectorized 
implementations on-the-fly. Afterwards the offloading is done transparently. 
In contrast to your work, we are targeting the Intel Xeon Phi accelerator 
(Intel Many Integrated Core Architecture; MIC). To detect suitable loops we 
are using Polly and to get the binary for the accelerator we are leveraging 
the Intel compilers. The overall architecture is basically client/server-style.

You can find more details in our publication. The project is open source, 
available at https://github.com/pc2/baar

We are looking forward to hear and see more from Hexe.

Regards,
  Heinrich
