<h1>Polly: Polyhedral optimizations for LLVM</h1>
<!--*********************************************************************-->
<p> Polly is a polyhedral optimizer for LLVM. Using an abstract mathematical
representation it analyzes and optimizes the memory access pattern of a
program. This includes data-locality optimizations for cache locality as
well as automatic parallelization for thread-level and SIMD parallelism.
Our overall goal is an integrated optimizer for data-locality and
parallelism that takes advantage of multi-cores, cache hierarchies, short
vector instructions as well as dedicated accelerators.</p>

<b>WARNING:</b> Polly started as a research project and larger parts of it are
still open research projects. Even though we aim for a robust, production
quality implementation, not all parts of Polly are there yet. We invite
you to contribute - both as industry collaborator, who may want to use parts
of Polly in production, as well as researcher, who is more interested in using
his expertise to work on some of the open research projects.

<p>Improved support for the isl scheduling optimizer</p>
Polly can now automatically optimize all polybench kernels without the help of
an external optimizer. The compile time is reasonable fast and we can show
notable speedups for various kernels.
