Agenda

Notes

• https://github.com/libocca/occa-transpiler
• Current gaps
  • Variable declaration between @kernel and first @outer loop
  • Would be good to collect as many examples as possible
• Documentation?
  • User guide
    • Build instructions
      • Using existing libclang vs. needing to build from scratch
    • E.g., need to pass properties--existing translator is default for now
  • Developer guide
    • How to add new attributes
    • How to implement a new backend/mode
• Performance (e.g., vs existing transpiler)
• Potential issues: clang currently needs to use the filesystem
