Backends

Three backends from one source

Chelis ships prebuilt compiler binaries by host platform. One source program builds to C, HIP, or Metal output for the environment that runs it.

Prebuilt compiler artifacts

Pick the artifact for the machine where you run the compiler. The build target is selected later, when invoking chelis build.

Linux x86_64

chelis-<version>-linux-x86_64.tar.gz

macOS arm64

chelis-<version>-darwin-arm64.tar.gz

Other hosts

Build the compiler from source, then use the same chelis build flow.

Binaries are available today to early partners of C Proof.

Build targets

A Chelis source file can be built to C, HIP, or Metal. The compiler emits source and runtime artifacts for the selected target; local native toolchains handle the final platform-specific compile step.

C

CPU

Portable C output for local native compilation and reference runs.

HIP

AMD GPU

HIP source for AMD accelerator builds.

Metal

Apple GPU

Metal source for Apple Silicon builds.

Bashtarget selection
