A prototype of LLVM-based auto-parallelizing Fortran/C compiler for NVIDIA GPUs, targeting numerical modeling code.
This is a legacy repository imported from HPCForge.org upon its shut down. It contains the code developed for the KernelGen project:

KernelGen has developed a nice performance test suite for evaluating CPU/GPU compilers by example of so called stencils. Stencil codes for PDEs often are a function core in numerical simulation.
