LLVM

Software name: 
LLVM
Policy 

LLVM is available to all users of HPC2N.

General 

The LLVM Core libraries provide a modern source- and target-independent optimizer, along with code generation support for many popular CPUs (as well as some less common ones!)

Description 

These libraries are built around a well specified code representation known as the LLVM intermediate representation ("LLVM IR"). The LLVM Core libraries are well documented, and it is particularly easy to invent your own language (or port an existing compiler) to use LLVM as an optimizer and code generator.

Availability 

On HPC2N we have LLVM available as a module on Kebnekaise.

Usage at HPC2N 

To use the LLVM module, first add it to your environment. Use:

module spider llvm

to see which versions are available and how to load the module and the needed prerequisites.

Example, loading LLVM version 4.0.0

ml icc/2017.1.132-GCC-6.3.0-2.27
ml ifort/2017.1.132-GCC-6.3.0-2.27
ml impi/2017.1.132
ml LLVM/4.0.0

You can read more about loading modules on our Accessing software with Lmod page and our Using modules (Lmod) page.

Additional info 

There is a lot of information about using LLVM on the LLVM homepage.
