[llvm-dev] Question about the status of the IR extensions for OpenMP

[Johannes Doerfert via llvm-dev]

Hi Roger,

There are at least two concurrent efforts that work on an IR extension
similar to what you cite below, one by Intel and one by a researcher
working group. Afaik, both will approach the community in the next few
weeks. (And to make sure they'll see your mail I put them all in the
CC).

In the meantime you could take a look at this proposal [0]. It is not
an IR extension but an abstraction layer that allows to design and
test parallel specific analysis and optimizations on both current and
future parallel representations.

Cheers,
  Johannes

P.S.
  I realized you saw the proposal already but I didn't want to remove
  the paragraph about it once I was done.
