Hello, I am interested in developing LLVM functionality to support the interfaces in GCC ICI. I plan to spend some time to investigate feasibility in a couple of weeks time once all exam boards are finished. My initial goal would be to enable LLVM to be used for iterative compilation using the HiPEAC ICI framework, either as a drop in replacement for GCC, or as a plugin. I'd welcome focussed discussion and collaboration with this goal in mind. My previous work in LLVM was in trying to develop a backend for a soft-core processor written in HandelC. I am also interested in developing/extending teaching resources to support compiler based undergraduate/postgraduate courses and projects. One of my long term research goals is to investigate (implement) iterative feedback directed compilation and design space exploration tools/techniques for hybrid multicore processor architectures comprised of hard and reconfigurable logic.
