10-20x Faster LLVM -O0 Back-End – Code Generation

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/com
