[Apache TVM Discuss] [Questions] What is ‘target’ in TVM?

[sho via Apache TVM Discuss]

Hi @areusch,

Sorry for my late reply. I needed some time to clean up my thought.

Could you correct me if I'm wrong?

As you probably know, I was confused about LLVM, and how it is used.
So LLVM is used to build TVM compiler. LLVM also works when you input your 
model into TVM compiler and get TVM's IR. LLVM compiles the TVM's IR, and 
produces executables.
(I'm still not sure where gcc is used when you build TVM from source though...)

You don't alway need to use LLVM. In that case, you specify 'c' as the target, 
and get your C code ready. You can use this C code, the runtime and your other 
programs to build with your own compiler, and run inference on MCUs.

Sorry while you're budy preparing for TVMCon. Day1 was wonderful. I'm looking 
forward to Day2 and 3 as well.
