Very very interesting, thanks for sharing! What would the path be to using existing code/where would Mill appear logically first?

Also, could something like Mill work well within the HSA/Fusion/hybrid GPGPU paradigm? E.g. from my very amateur reading of your documents, it looks like a much needed and very substantial improvement to single threaded code; how would a mixed case where we have heavy matrix multiplication in some parts of our code as part of a pipeline with sequential dependencies work? Would an ideal case be a cluster (or some fast interconnect fabric in a multi socket system) of multi core Mill chips be the future?

Realistically, is this something that LLVM could relatively easily target? A simple add in card that could give something like Julia an order of magnitude improvement would be a very interesting proposition, especially in the HPC market. I come at this mainly from an interest how this will benefit compute intense machine learning/AI applications.

Sorry for all the questions.
