FreeBSD 10 To Use Clang Compiler, Deprecate GCC

An anonymous reader writes"Shared in last quarter's FreeBSD status report are developer plans to haveLLVM/Clang become the default compiler and to deprecate GCC. Clang can now build most packages and suit well for their BSD needs. They also plan to have a full BSD-licensed C++11 stack in FreeBSD 10."Says the article, too: "Some vendors have also been playing around with the idea of using Clang to build the Linux kernel (it's possible to do with certain kernel configurations, patches, and other headaches)."

NVIDIA open sources CUDA compiler, shares its LLVM-based love with everyone

From Engadget

A few years back, Intel prognosticated that NVIDIA's CUDA technology was destined to be a "footnote" in computing history. Since that time, Jen-Hsun Huang's low level virtual machine (LLVM) based compiler has more than proven its worth in severalsupercomputers, and now NVIDIA has released the CUDA source code to further spread the parallel computing gospel. This move opens up the code to be used with more programming languages and processors (x86 or otherwise) than ever before, which the company hopes will spur development of "next-generation higher performance computing platforms." Academics and chosen developers can get their hands on the code by registering with NVIDIA at the source below, so head on down and get started --petaflop parallel processing supercomputers don't build themselves, yo

Writing A Compiler In Haskell that outputs to LLVM

 Bryan Bell a Graphic Driver Developer at Intel, spoke at the ACCU last night  10/12/2011 about creating a compiler using Lex and Yacc in Haskell, that uses LLVM for output.
