[llvm-dev] LLVM back end for the research Connex SIMD processor and GSoC19

[Anton Korobeynikov via llvm-dev]

Dear prospective GSoC students, dear LLVMers,

On behalf of the LLVM Foundation I have to provide some clarifications
here to make the situation clear.

This is not quite true. The LLVM Foundation never accepted this
project. The reason is simple – there is no acceptance procedure and
therefore the above statement is misleading.

I need to remind that the participation in the Google Summer of Code
is twofold: bringing students to LLVM via well-defined summer projects
and doing something useful for the project itself, therefore the
project should be connected to LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
components.

Hope this makes everything clear.
