<p>Experimental support for the <b>new isl code generator</b>
was committed. The code generator can be parameterized on a fine-grained
level. It gives direct control for example over unrolling, the amount of
control overhead and the code size. It can also be used to
create loops to handle border conditions or to perform full-partial tile
separation.<br />
We also relicensed isl under the <b>MIT license</b>. This means, with the
exception of GMP, there is no GPL licensed software used in Polly. The
use of GMP is limited to a well defined interface. Replacing it with
a BSD licensed replacement is a tractable engineering project we would
be very interested in. For more information about isl see the <a
href="http://www.kotnet.org/~skimo/isl/manual.pdf">isl manual</a>.

<p> Polly can now be directly linked to the <a
href="http://pluto-compiler.sourceforge.net/">Pluto optimizer</a>. We were
already able to perform Pluto-like optimizations with Polly, as a similer
algorithm was added to isl half a year ago. However, being able to directly
compare with the original implementation will not only bring in competition in
the optimizer field. It will also allow new experiments with a cutting edge
research tool.<br \>
This support was on of the outcomes of the 1-day Polly workshop and the
following week of joint work at IISC Bangalore and in cooperation with
AMD India.
