When used, these targets end up with calls to undefined functions for all of the various special vector stuff ispc needs to compile ispc programs (masked store, gather, min/max, sqrt, etc.). These targets are not yet useful for anything, but are a step toward having an option to C++ code with calls out to intrinsics. Reorganized the directory structure a bit and put the LLVM bitcode used to define target-specific stuff (as well as some generic built-ins stuff) into a builtins/ directory. Note that for building on Windows, it's now necessary to set a LLVM_VERSION environment variable (with values like LLVM_2_9, LLVM_3_0, LLVM_3_1svn, etc.)
============================== Intel(r) SPMD Program Compiler ============================== Welcome to the Intel(r) SPMD Program Compiler (ispc)! ispc is a new compiler for "single program, multiple data" (SPMD) programs. Under the SPMD model, the programmer writes a program that mostly appears to be a regular serial program, though the execution model is actually that a number of program instances execute in parallel on the hardware. ispc compiles a C-based SPMD programming language to run on the SIMD units of CPUs; it frequently provides a a 3x or more speedup on CPUs with 4-wide SSE units, without any of the difficulty of writing intrinsics code. ispc is an open source compiler under the BSD license; see the file LICENSE.txt. ispc supports Windows, Mac, and Linux, with both x86 and x86-64 targets. It currently supports the SSE2, SSE4, and AVX instruction sets. For more information and examples, as well as a wiki and the bug database, see the ispc distribution site, http://ispc.github.com.
