Ok, I got an email from Ogier (as he's also a student at University of Strasbourg where I've been for quite some time, etc...) who asked for directions on how to implement an efficient OpenMP support for Cell. The main difficulty is the outlining to SPUs code, that has to be generated by another backend. Do you have ideas on how that should be implemented? Ogier proposed to dump the outlined gimple to a file (i.e. LTO could do that) and then read this back in the SPU compiler. Does this approach sound right? Thanks, Sebastian
