PLUG Central will be meeting on Wednesday, August 1 at USP in 
Philadelphia, beginning at 7pm. Directions to the meeting location 
at the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia can be found at 
the end of this email. 

This month, PLUG welcomes back Charlie Li. Charlie will be
giing a talk on the LLVM compiler infrastructure project, and
Clang, a compiler front end for a number of C-like languages
that uses LLVM as its backend.

  The LLVM Core libraries provide a modern source- and
  target-independent optimizer, along with code generation support
  for many popular CPUs (as well as some less common ones!) These
  libraries are built around a well specified code representation
  known as the LLVM intermediate representation ("LLVM IR"). The
  LLVM Core libraries are well documented, and it is particularly
  easy to invent your own language (or port an existing compiler)
  to use LLVM as an optimizer and code generator.

  Clang is an "LLVM native" C/C++/Objective-C compiler, which aims
  to deliver amazingly fast compiles (e.g. about 3x faster than
  GCC when compiling Objective-C code in a debug configuration),
  extremely useful error and warning messages and to provide a
  platform for building great source level tools.

  Griffith Hall (Room "C" or "A", look for the signs) 
  600 South 43rd Street 
  Philadelphia, PA 19104-4495 

USP is located in University City. Driving directions are
available at http://www.phillylinux.org/locations/usp.html, or
http://www.usip.edu/directions, both of which have an aerial view
of the campus buildings. USP is also easily accessible by public
transportation. 

For those attending PLUG Central, if you arrive and the doors are
locked you can call UCS's public safety number at 215.895.1117
and they will radio personnel in the guard booth or someone else
to unlock the door.  If you are asked who is sponsoring the
meeting you can say "Zhiwei Liu" in the Chemistry department.

There will be an open Question & Answer session at 7PM, prior to 
the main presentation at 8PM. This is an open meeting; all are 
welcome and encouraged to attend. 

Usually, a number of members get together after the meeting at a 
nearby restaurant for food and perhaps a beer or two. Come join 
the camaraderie!
