The Region Vectorizer Compiler Design Lab / Saarland University / Saarland Informatics Campus The Region Vectorizer (RV) is a general-purpose vectorization framework for LLVM. RV provides a unified interface to vectorize code regions, such as inner and outer loops, up to whole functions. We had a poster on RV at the 2016 US LLVM Developers' Meeting (docs/poster_rv.pdf). RV is largely based on the Whole-Function Vectorizer by Ralf Karrenberg (http://www.cdl.uni-saarland.de/projects/wfv/). For any questions, please get in touch with Simon Moll (moll@cs.uni-saarland.de). -- Buildling libRV -- libRV uses cmake for its build system. cmake should be configured to build in the libRV root folder. The current version of libRV requires LLVM 3.8. Products: - liRV.so // main library - bin/rvTool // command line vectorizer -- Testing libRV -- To run the entire test suite enter the folder test/ and run ./test_rv.py. More details on testing can be found in test/README -- Getting started with the API -- Users of RV should include its main header file include/rv/rv.h and supporting headers in include/rv. The command line tester (tool/rvTool.cpp) is a good starting point to learn how to use RVs API. -- Source structure -- include/ - header files rvlibsrc/ - SIMD library sources src/ - source files test/ - tests tool/ - sources of rvTool The Region Vectorizer is distributed under the University of Illinois Open Source License.
