Summary: This exposes the 'isDeviceCompatible' routine for checking if a binary *can* be loaded. This is useful if people don't want to consume errors everywhere when figuring out which image to put to what device. I don't know if this is a good name, I was thining like `olIsCompatible` or whatever. Let me know what you think. Long term I'd like to be able to do something similar to what OpenMP does where we can conditionally only initialize devices if we need them. That's going to be support needed if we want this to be more generic.
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.
Meetings
