[Chris Lattner via llvm-dev]

Agreed!  Is the code already available?  What are your plans for it, and are you interested in collaboration with the rest of the LLVM community?

At present, we have upgraded FC to emit MLIR. Currently the language supported is close to Fortran-95. Apart from 400+ unit test cases, out framework passes two SPEC-2017 benchmarks successfully.  Currently we are cleaning up the code and plan to open source the same in a week or so.

We have defined a new Loop Nest Optimization framework along with one Loop Nest Optimization in it for the time being. Also we have supported 4 OpenMP constructs and way to express the same in MLIR framework.
