Intel® LLVM-based C/C++ and Fortran compilers,

icx

,

icpx

, and

ifx

, support OpenMP offloading onto GPUs. When using OpenMP, the programmer inserts device directives in the code to direct the compiler to offload certain parts of the application onto the GPU. Offloading compute-intensive code can yield better performance.

This section covers various topics related to OpenMP offloading, and how to improve the performance of offloaded code.
