Summary: We used this globally scoped `ext_no_call_asm` as a sort of hack around the compiler that allowed the attributor to optimize out inline assembly calls to PTX instructions. Quite some time ago I got rid of every inline assembly call and replaced it with a builitin, so this can just be deleted. Furthermore, I use the `[[omp::assume]]` attribute directly for the aligned barrier usage. This prints an unknown assumption warning (even though it isn't) so I'm just silencing that for now until I fix it later. --------- Co-authored-by: Michael Kruse <github@meinersbur.de>
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.
