+Specifically, the HPVM installer downloads LLVM, Clang, libcxx and libcxxabi, copies HPVM source into 
 llvm/tools and builds the entire tree. It also builds a modified LLVM C-Backend, based on the one maintained by [Julia Computing](https://github.com/JuliaComputing/llvm-cbe), as a part of HPVM and is currently used 
 to generate OpenCL kernels for GPUs.
