[llvm-dev] [TCE] TTA-based Co-Design Environment (TCE) v1.18 released

[Pekka Jääskeläinen via llvm-dev]

TTA-based Co-Design Environment (TCE) is a toolset for design and
programming of customized co-processors (typically DSPs) based on
the Transport Triggered Architecture (TTA).

The toolset provides a complete retargetable co-design flow from
high-level language programs down to synthesizable processor RTL (VHDL
and Verilog generation supported) and parallel program binaries.

Processor customization points include the register files, function
units, supported operations, and the interconnection network.

Release Highlights
==================

- Support for LLVM 7.0.
- Added hexadecimal output to PIG.
- Added HDB with register files and a basic ALU optimized for Xilinx
Series 7 devices. Thanks to Stephan Nolting and Guillermo Payá-Vayá /
IMS, Leibniz University Hannover for the contribution of the shifter.
