## Verimag-Kalray version
+
This is a special version with additions from Verimag and Kalray :
-* A backend for the KVX processor: see [`README_Kalray.md`](README_Kalray.md) for details.
-* Scheduling passes for ARMv8 (aarch64) and RISC-V.
-* Some general-purpose optimization phases (e.g. profiling).
- * see [`PROFILING.md`](PROFILING.md) for details on the profiling system
+* A backend for the Coolidge VLIW KVX processor.
+* Postpass scheduling passes for KVX, ARMv8 (aarch64) and RISC-V along with a
+ preprocessing peephole optimizer.
+* Improved subexpression elimination: two passes CSE2 and CSE3. Both go through
+ loops and feature a small alias analysis.
+* A generic prepass scheduling optimizer with a multi-purpose preprocessing
+ front-end: rewritings, register renaming, if-lifting and some generic code
+ transformations such as loop-rotation, loop-unrolling, or tail-duplication.
+* A profiling system: see [`PROFILING.md`](PROFILING.md) for details.
+* Static branch prediction.
+* And some experimental features that are work in progress.
+
+_Please refer to the resources listed below for more information._
