LLVM Has New "parallel-lib" Sub-Project

Written by Michael Larabel in LLVM on 17 June 2016 at 08:01 AM EDT. 9 Comments

Parallel-Lib is a new project out of the LLVM group.

This new parallelism library is described as "[hosting] the development of libraries which are aimed at enabling parallelism in code and which are also closely tied to compiler technology. Examples of libraries suitable for hosting within the parallel-libs subproject are runtime libraries and parallel math libraries. The initial candidates for inclusion in this subproject are StreamExecutor and libomptarget which would live in the streamexecutor and libomptarget subdirectories of parallel-libs, respectively."

Those wanting to find out more about the new LLVM parallel-lib work can read this mailing list announcement for details.
