[llvm-dev] Automatic GPU Code Generation

[Madhur Amilkanthwar via llvm-dev]

You can skip CUDA code generation and target PTX assembly. PTX is a common
assembly language for NVIDIA's GPU. You may want to look at PPCG, Pluto
projects to get a hint of how automatic CUDA code can be generated by
compilers. They are based on polyhedral model so come with some inherent
limitations.
