TPDE-LLVM: 10-20x Faster LLVM -O0 Back-End

5 years ago, @nikic wrote: I can’t say a 10% improvement is making LLVM fast again, we would need a 10x improvement for it to deserve that label. We recently open-sourced TPDE and our fast LLVM baseline back-end (TPDE-LLVM), which is 10-20x faster than the LLVM -O0 back-end with similar runtime performance and 10-30% larger code size. We support a typical subset of LLVM-IR and only target x86-64 and AArch64. Posting this here, as this might be interesting for the LLVM community – questions/c...

An article in Wired Magazine argues that "Science Conferences Are Stuck in the Dark Ages." I agree — but there's some light in the darkness!
