Phoronix: Initial SPIR-V Backend Code Lands In LLVM 15

The long in-development work by Intel, The Khronos Group, and other organizations on a proper SPIR-V back-end for LLVM is finally seeing code in mainline. As of last night the initial pieces have landed for the LLVM SPIR-V back-end for this Khronos open standard IR used most notably by Vulkan but for OpenCL and OpenGL as well...

The amount of layers in 2022 is out of this world.

Bonus points if you manage to add the web browser on top of this.
