Compiling sequential C programs for Connex-S, a competitive, scalable and customizable, wide vector accelerator for intensive embedded applications with 32 to 4,096 16-bit integer lanes and a limited capacity local scratchpad memory, is challenging. Our compiler toolchain uses the LLVM framework and...
