Enables generic ISA, e.g., "--offload-arch=gfx11-generic" device code to run on gfx11-generic ISA capable device. Executable may contain one ELF that has specific target ISA and another ELF that has compatible generic ISA. Under that circumstance, this code should say both ELFs are compatible, leaving the rest to PluginManager to handle. Suggestions on how best to address that is welcome.
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.
For OpenMP offload users, the project is ready and fully usable. The final API design is still under development. 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.
