Hi Dorit, Here is a semi reasonably list of llvm-based publications: http://llvm.org/= pubs/ which might be useful. > (By the way, why was OpenCL implemented only on LLVM and not on GCC?) There are many reasons, but one of the biggest is the GCC doesn't (practica= lly speaking) support JIT compilation. While it is possible to implement O= penCL on GCC, I suspect that the end result wouldn't be very compelling wit= hout some major architecture changes. -Chris
