Summary: All of these are functionally the same code, just compiled for separate architectures. We currently do not expose a way to execute these on separate architectures as the host plugin works using `dlopen` into the same process, and therefore cannot possibly be an incompatible architecture. (This could work with a remote plugin, but this is not supported yet). This patch simply renames all of these to the same thing so we no longer need to check around for its varying definitions.
The LLVM/Offload Subproject
The Offload subproject aims at providing tooling, runtimes, and APIs that allow users to execute code on accelerators or other "co-processors" that may or may not match the architecture of their "host". In the long run, all kinds of targets are in scope of this effort, including but not limited to: CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, AI/ML accelerators, distributed resources, etc.
The project is just starting and the design is still not ironed out. More content will show up here and on our webpage soon. In the meantime people are encouraged to participate in our meetings (see below) and check our development board as well as the discussions on Discourse.
