You may freely distribute it under the terms of the license agreement found in LICENSE.txt.\n\n\n## Directory Structure\n\n\nThe files/directories related to the translator:\n\n* [include/LLVMSPIRVLib.h](include/LLVMSPIRVLib.h) - header file\n* [lib/SPIRV](lib/SPIRV) - library for SPIR-V in-memory representation, decoder/encoder and LLVM/SPIR-V translator\n* [tools/llvm-spirv](tools/llvm-spirv) - command line utility for translating between LLVM bitcode and SPIR-V binary\n\n## Build Instructions\n\nThe `main` branch of this repo is aimed to be buildable with the latest\nLLVM `main` revision.\n\n### Build with pre-installed LLVM\n\nThe translator can be built with the latest(nightly) package of LLVM. For Ubuntu and Debian systems LLVM provides repositories with nightly builds at http://apt.llvm.org/. For example the latest package for Ubuntu 16.04 can be installed with the following commands:\n```\nwget -O - https://apt.llvm.org/llvm-snapshot.gpg.key | sudo apt-ke",

Primarily consumed as a build dependency by OpenCL compilers and heterogeneous compute frameworks. The bidirectional design lets you target both CPU (LLVM) and GPU (SPIR-V) from a common IR."
