Starting from LLVM-IR it detects and +extracts interesting loop kernels. For each kernel a mathematical model is +derived which precisely describes the individual computations and memory +accesses in the kernels. Within Polly a variety of analysis and code +transformations are performed on this mathematical model. After all +optimizations have been derived and applied, optimized LLVM-IR is regenerated +and inserted into the LLVM-IR module. + +.. image:: images/architecture.png |
