What is the status of the PTX BE?

Most of our testing has been on micro-kernels, though I have been able to generate correct (and mostly efficient) code for basic compute kernels. Support for texture fetches are not implemented. Device function calls are a current work-in-progress.

Basically, we support:

We have not put much time into optimizations yet. We do simple optimizations like folding mul/add pairs into mad, but that's about it for now.

For some basic usage information with Clang, you can get my collection of examples at https://github.com/jholewinski/llvm-ptx-samples. These double as more robust test cases.

Feel free to contact me directly with any questions.
