This was done as part of an honours thesis at UNSW, the paper describing the work and results can be found at: http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~pls/thesis/davidt-thesis.pdf A Homepage for the backend can be found at: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Commentary/Compiler/Backends/LLVM Quick summary of performance is that for the 'nofib' benchmark suite, runtimes are within 5% slower than the NCG and generally better than the C code generator. For some code though, such as the DPH projects benchmark, the LLVM code generator outperforms the NCG and C code generator by about a 25% reduction in run times.
