+FAUST Real-Time Audio Signal Processing Language +
+ +
+

+FAUST is a compiled language for real-time +audio signal processing. The name FAUST stands for Functional AUdio STream. Its +programming model combines two approaches: functional programming and block +diagram composition. In addition with the C, C++, JAVA output formats, the +Faust compiler can now generate LLVM bitcode, and works with LLVM 2.7 and +2.8.

+Jade Just-in-time Adaptive Decoder Engine +
+ +
+

Jade +(Just-in-time Adaptive Decoder Engine) is a generic video decoder engine using +LLVM for just-in-time compilation of video decoder configurations. Those +configurations are designed by MPEG Reconfigurable Video Coding (RVC) committee. +MPEG RVC standard is built on a stream-based dataflow representation of +decoders. It is composed of a standard library of coding tools written in +RVC-CAL language and a dataflow configuration &emdash; block diagram &emdash; +of a decoder.

+ +

Jade project is hosted as part of the Open +RVC-CAL Compiler and requires it to translate the RVC-CAL standard library +of video coding tools into an LLVM assembly code.

+LLVM JIT for Neko VM +
+ +
+

Neko LLVM JIT +replaces the standard Neko JIT with an LLVM-based implementation. While not +fully complete, it is already providing a 1.5x speedup on 64-bit systems. +Neko LLVM JIT requires LLVM 2.8 or later.

+Crack Scripting Language +
+ +
+

+Crack aims to provide +the ease of development of a scripting language with the performance of a +compiled language. The language derives concepts from C++, Java and Python, +incorporating object-oriented programming, operator overloading and strong +typing. Crack 0.2 works with LLVM 2.7, and the forthcoming Crack 0.2.1 release +builds on LLVM 2.8.

+Dresden TM Compiler (DTMC) +
+ +
+

+DTMC provides support for +Transactional Memory, which is an easy-to-use and efficient way to synchronize +accesses to shared memory. Transactions can contain normal C/C++ code (e.g., +__transaction { list.remove(x); x.refCount--; }) and will be executed +virtually atomically and isolated from other transactions.

+Kai Interpreter +
+ +
+

+Kai (Japanese 会 for +meeting/gathering) is an experimental interpreter that provides a highly +extensible runtime environment and explicit control over the compilation +process. Programs are defined using nested symbolic expressions, which are all +parsed into first-class values with minimal intrinsic semantics. Kai can +generate optimised code at run-time (using LLVM) in order to exploit the nature +of the underlying hardware and to integrate with external software libraries. +It is a unique exploration into world of dynamic code compilation, and the +interaction between high level and low level semantics.
