LLVM/OpenMP Documentation <self>
LLVM/OpenMP Design & Overview
=============================
OpenMP impacts various parts of the LLVM project, from the frontends (`Clang
<https://clang.llvm.org/docs/OpenMPSupport.html>`_ and Flang), through
middle-end :ref:`optimizations <llvm_openmp_optimizations>`, up to the
multitude of available :ref:`OpenMP runtimes <openmp_runtimes>`.
A high-level overview of OpenMP in LLVM can be found :doc:`here <design/Overview>`.

design/Overview
OpenACC Support
===============
:doc:`OpenACC support <openacc/Overview>` is under development for
both Flang and Clang. For this purpose, LLVM's OpenMP runtimes are
being extended to serve as OpenACC runtimes. In some cases, Clang
supports :doc:`OpenMP extensions <openacc/OpenMPExtensions>` to make
the additional functionality also available in OpenMP applications.

LLVM/OpenMP Optimizations
=========================
LLVM, since `version 11 <https://releases.llvm.org/download.html#11.0.0>`_ (12 Oct
2020), has an :doc:`OpenMP-Aware optimization pass <optimizations/OpenMPOpt>`
as well as the ability to :doc:`perform "scalar optimizations" across OpenMP region
boundaries <optimizations/OpenMPUnawareOptimizations>`.
In-depth discussion of the topic can be found :doc:`here <optimizations/Overview>`.

LLVM/OpenMP Optimization Remarks
================================
LLVM has an elaborate ecosystem around `analysis and optimization remarks
<https://llvm.org/docs/Remarks.html>`_ issues during
compilation. The remarks can be enabled from the clang frontend `[1]`_ `[2]`_
in various formats `[3]`_ `[4]`_ to be used by tools, i.a., `opt-viewer` or
`llvm-opt-report` (dated).
The OpenMP optimizations in LLVM have been developed with remark support as a
priority. For a list of OpenMP specific remarks and more information on them,
please refer to :doc:`remarks/OptimizationRemarks`.

Support, Getting Involved, and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
===============================================================
Dealing with OpenMP can be complicated. For help with the setup of an OpenMP
(offload) capable compiler toolchain, its usage, and common problems, consult
the :doc:`Support and FAQ <SupportAndFAQ>` page.
We also encourage everyone interested in OpenMP in LLVM to :doc:`get involved
