Hi all, My name is Wei Wu. I am the project director of PLCT Lab, which is an engineering team focusing on compilers, simulators, and virtual machines (runtimes). The PLCT Lab is actively working on RISC-V toolchains, including GNU Toolchain and Clang/LLVM. Recently, the PLCT Lab joined the RISC-V international as a group contributor[1]. We are working on implementing GCC/Binutils for a few draft ISA extensions like Zfinx, Krypto Scalar, and P-extension.
I've noticed that there was no periodically sync-up meeting for RISC-V backend, and I think it might be good to have one[2][3]. I invite everyone who is interested in RISC-V to join and have discussions, making the GNU Toolchain doing better on RISC-V. So the first sync-up meeting would happen on March 11, the agenda will be posted before the meeting: Topic: RISC-V GNU Toolchain Biweekly Sync-up Time: Mar 11, 2021 11:00 PM Beijing, Shanghai LOS ANGELES, United States, California 7:00a Thu, Mar 11 2021 BEIJING, China 11:00p Thu, Mar 11 2021 LONDON, United Kingdom, England 3:00p Thu, Mar 11 2021 Join Zoom Meeting https://zoom.com.cn/j/82900185885?pwd=Ym9mRHNkU2RDQ1VGOXVWMGJRR3Y3Zz09 Meeting ID: 829 0018 5885 Passcode: 908375 All are welcome! Besides, for the developers living in East Asia, there is another time-friendly sync-up meeting mainly talking in Chinese: == Feb 25, 3pm - 4pm, CST == Topic: RISC-V GNU Toolchain Biweekly Sync-up (East Asia, Talking in Chinese) Time: Feb 25, 2021 03:00 PM Beijing, Shanghai LOS ANGELES, United States, California 11:00p Wed, Feb 24 2021 BEIJING, China 3:00p Thu, Feb 25 2021 LONDON, United Kingdom, England 7:00a Thu, Feb 25 2021 Join Zoom Meeting https://zoom.com.cn/j/89274258913?pwd=cnFzSnVuMGxSeWwzTHNVeGUwbTN1UT09 Meeting ID: 892 7425 8913 Passcode: 484200 == Mar 11, 3pm - 4pm, CST == Topic: RISC-V GNU Toolchain Biweekly Sync-up (East Asia, Talking in Chinese) Time: Mar 11, 2021 03:00 PM Beijing, Shanghai Join Zoom Meeting https://zoom.com.cn/j/83727837910?pwd=dTltRmVTRjB6ZGhaWTJaYkFVZGttdz09 Meeting ID: 837 2783 7910 Passcode: 389540 Happy Lunar New Year! [1] PLCT Lab is part of the Institute of Software, Chinese Academy of Sciences. So you may see that we are using the name CAS/PLCT in the RISC-V community. [2] Although the RISC-V community has its own task groups for ISA extension, the discussion of the implementation details of specific compilers are not encouraged. [3] Thank Jeremy Bennett for this suggestion. -- Best wishes, Wei Wu (吴伟) PLCT Lab
