libnvvm

NOTE:
This package is not open source and does not contain any source code. Instead, in order to "build" the exported target(s) it downloads (potentially large) pre-built binaries provided by NVIDIA for the target platform.

CI for this package is disabled due to the above.
Supported platforms/compilers are Windows/MSVC. Linux binaries exist but are currently not available through this package.

NVVM IR is a compiler IR (intermediate representation) based on the LLVM IR. The NVVM IR is designed to represent GPU compute kernels (for example, CUDA kernels). High-level language front-ends, like the CUDA C compiler front-end, can generate NVVM IR. The NVVM compiler (which is based on LLVM) generates PTX code from NVVM IR.
