This thesis describes the development of a compiler for OpenGLES 2.0 programs for a novel GPU. This work is a part of a larger project to develop a low-power GPU for embedded systems.
Our compiler has been developed in the LLVM compiler infrastructure. The present thesis focuses on three areas of the compiler: 1) making corrections and improvements to an existing graphics shading language parser, 2) augmenting LLVM¡¦s bit-code format to support the new information from the shading language, and 3) modifying LLVM¡¦s backend to support this augmented bit-code. Much of this work is related to supporting the matrix and vector primitive data types found in OpenGL¡¦s GLSL shading language.
In conjunction with several other theses, as listed in the text, this work achieves a working basic compiler for GLSL code on our new GPU. Continuing work by future researchers is necessary to make the compiler more robust and optimized.
