HammerBlade IR

HBIR is a low-level programming language and compiler target for the HammerBlade reconfigurable manycore processor. Is core principle is general abstraction for specialized machines: HBIR itself makes very few assumptions about the hardware and instead offers a general substrate that can express a wide range of hardware configurations. An HBIR program jointly specifies the software algorithm itself, the configuration it runs on, and the physical hardware it targets.
