[llvm-dev] Automatic GPU Code Generation

[hameeza ahmed via llvm-dev]

Thank You..
I am asking to generate directly PTX code automatically or by directives
without involvement of CUDA. This way, I am talking about avoiding source
to source compiler approach where c code is converted automatically into
CUDA, instead I am saying directly to convert C code to PTX assembly.
