I pretty sure I can define some gsoc tasks related to the llvm tgsi backend if people are interested. One possible option would be the addition of a 64bit memory model (this will also require some mesa changes). Basically there is a long todo list, but llvm is NOT easy to get into, so it maybe better to find some other task. Regards, Hans > The SPIR-V that I'm using, is generated by LLVM.
