Abstract
========

These are ideas for additional programs, benchmarks, applications and
algorithms that could be added to the LLVM Test-Suite.
The test-suite could be much larger than it is now, which would help us
detecting compiler errors (crashes, miscompiles) during development.

Most probably, the reason why the programs below have not been added to
the test-suite yet is that nobody has found time to do it. But there
might be other issues as well, such as

 * Licensing (Support can still be added as external module,
              like for the SPEC benchmarks)

 * Language (in particular, there is no official LLVM frontend
             for FORTRAN yet)

 * Parallelism (currently, all programs in test-suite use
                one thread only)

Benchmarks
==========

SPEC CPU 2017
-------------
https://www.spec.org/cpu2017/

The following have not been included yet because they contain Fortran
code.

In case of cactuBSSN only a small portion is Fortran. The hosts's
Fortran compiler could be used for these parts.

Note that CMake's Ninja generator has difficulties with Fortran. See the
`CMake documentation <https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.13/generator/Ninja.html#fortran-support>`_
for details.
