-<p>Polly is a project that aims to provide advanced memory access optimizations
-to better take advantage of SIMD units, cache hierarchies, multiple cores or
-even vector accelerators for LLVM. Built around an abstract mathematical
-description based on Z-polyhedra, it provides the infrastructure to develop
-advanced optimizations in LLVM and to connect complex external optimizers. In
-its first year of existence Polly already provides an exact value-based
-dependency analysis as well as basic SIMD and OpenMP code generation support.
-Furthermore, Polly can use PoCC(Pluto) an advanced optimizer for data-locality
-and parallelism.</p>

-<p>llvm-gcc is generally very stable for the C family of languages.  The only
-   major language feature of GCC not supported by llvm-gcc is the
-   <tt>__builtin_apply</tt> family of builtins.   However, some extensions
-   are only supported on some targets.  For example, trampolines are only
-   supported on some targets (these are used when you take the address of a
-   nested function).</p>
-
-<p>Fortran support generally works, but there are still several unresolved bugs
-   in <a href="http://llvm.org/bugs/">Bugzilla</a>.  Please see the
-   tools/gfortran component for details.  Note that llvm-gcc is missing major
-   Fortran performance work in the frontend and library that went into GCC after
-   4.2.  If you are interested in Fortran, we recommend that you consider using
-   <a href="#dragonegg">dragonegg</a> instead.</p>
