//===- README.txt - Notes for improving CellSPU-specific code gen ---------===//
This code was contributed by a team from the Computer Systems Research
Department in The Aerospace Corporation:
- Scott Michel (head bottle washer and much of the non-floating point
instructions)
- Mark Thomas (floating point instructions)
- Michael AuYeung (intrinsics)
- Chandler Carruth (LLVM expertise)

--WARNING--: The CellSPU work is work-in-progress and "alpha" quality code.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TODO:
* Check in the actual code.
* Finish branch instructions, branch prediction
These instructions were started, but only insofar as to get llvm-gcc-4.2's
crtbegin.ll working (which doesn't.)
* Double floating point support
This was started. "What's missing?" to be filled in.
* Intrinsics
Lots of progress. "What's missing/incomplete?" to be filled in.

Note: The CellSPU work is work-in-progress and "alpha" quality code. No code
has been officially checked into the llvm repo, but this will happen Real Soon,
Real Soon Now.
