//===- 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:
* 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.
