[llvm-dev] GSoC - Improve parallelism-aware analyses and optimizations

[Johannes Doerfert via llvm-dev]

Hi Emanuel,

I'll reply to the other mail later, once I finished a GSoC dashboard.

I just wanted to check in if you started to work on the TODO. I think
someone else started to work on that one as well so we should avoid
duplicating work.

Cheers,
  Johannes
