Offload Compilation, OpenMP*, and Parallel Processing Options

This section contains descriptions for compiler options that pertain to offload compilation, OpenMP*, or parallel processing. They are listed in alphabetical order.

Parent topic: Compiler Options
  • device-math-lib
    Enables or disables certain device libraries. This is a deprecated option that may be removed in a future release.
  • fintelfpga
    Lets you perform ahead-of-time (AOT) compilation for the Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA).

  • flink-huge-device-code
    Tells the compiler to place device code later in the linked binary. This is to prevent 32-bit PC-relative relocations between surrounding Executable and Linkable Format (ELF) sections when the device code is larger than 2GB.
  • fno-sycl-libspirv
    Disables the check for libspirv (the SPIR-V* tools library).
  • foffload-static-lib
    Tells the compiler to link with a fat (multi-architecture) static library. This is a deprecated option that may be removed in a future release.
  • fopenmp
    Option -fopenmp is a deprecated option that will be removed in a future release.
  • fopenmp-declare-target-scalar-defaultmap, Qopenmp-declare-target-scalar-defaultmap
    Determines which implicit data-mapping/sharing rules are applied for a scalar variable referenced in a target pragma.
  • fopenmp-device-code-split, Qopenmp-device-code-split
    Enables parallel compilation of SPIR-V* kernels for OpenMP offload Ahead-Of-Time compilation.
  • fopenmp-device-lib
    Enables or disables certain device libraries for an OpenMP* target.
  • fopenmp-max-parallel-link-jobs, Qopenmp-max-parallel-link-jobs
    Determines the maximum number of parallel actions to be performed during device linking steps, where applicable.
  • fopenmp-target-buffers, Qopenmp-target-buffers
    Enables a way to overcome the problem where some OpenMP* offload SPIR-V* devices produce incorrect code when a target object is larger than 4GB.
  • fopenmp-targets, Qopenmp-targets
    Enables offloading to a specified GPU target if OpenMP* features have been enabled.
  • fsycl
    Enables a program to be compiled as a SYCL program rather than as plain C++11 program.
  • fsycl-add-targets
    Lets you add arbitrary device binary images to the fat SYCL* binary when linking. This is a deprecated option that may be removed in a future release.
  • fsycl-dead-args-optimization
    Enables elimination of SYCL dead kernel arguments.
  • fsycl-device-code-split
    Specifies a SYCL* device code module assembly.
  • fsycl-device-lib
    Enables or disables certain device libraries for a SYCL* target.
  • fsycl-device-obj
    Lets you specify the format of device code stored in a resulting object. This is an experimental feature.
  • fsycl-device-only
    Tells the compiler to generate a device-only binary.
  • fsycl-early-optimizations
    Enables LLVM-related optimizations before SPIR-V* generation.

    Enables function pointers and support for virtual functions for SYCL kernels and device functions. This is an experimental feature.
  • fsycl-esimd-force-stateless-mem
    Determines whether the compiler enforces stateless memory accesses within ESIMD kernels on the target device. This is an experimental feature.
  • fsycl-explicit-simd
    Enables or disables the experimental "Explicit SIMD" SYCL* extension. This is a deprecated option that may be removed in a future release.
  • fsycl-force-target
    Forces the compiler to use the specified target triple device when extracting device code from any given objects on the command line.
  • fsycl-help
    Causes help information to be emitted from the device compiler backend.
  • fsycl-host-compiler
    Tells the compiler to use the specified compiler for the host compilation of the overall offloading compilation that is performed.
  • fsycl-host-compiler-options
    Passes options to the compiler specified by option fsycl-host-compiler.
  • fsycl-id-queries-fit-in-int
    Tells the compiler to assume that SYCL ID queries fit within MAX_INT.
  • fsycl-instrument-device-code
    Enables or disables linking of the Instrumentation and Tracing Technology (ITT) device libraries for VTune™.
  • fsycl-link
    Tells the compiler to perform a partial link of device binaries to be used with Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA).
  • fsycl-link-huge-device-code
    Tells the compiler to place device code later in the linked binary. This is to prevent 32-bit PC-relative relocations between surrounding Executable and Linkable Format (ELF) sections when the device code is larger than 2GB. This is a deprecated option that will be removed in a future release.
  • fsycl-link-targets
    Tells the compiler to link only device code. This is a deprecated option that may be removed in a future release.
  • fsycl-max-parallel-link-jobs

  • fsycl-optimize-non-user-code
    Tells the compiler to optimize SYCL framework utility functions and to leave the kernel code unoptimized for further debugging.
  • fsycl-pstl-offload
    Enables the offloading of C++ standard parallel algorithms to a SYCL device. This is an experimental feature.
  • fsycl-rdc
    Determines whether the compiler generates device code in one module (normal behavior) or it generates separate device code per source.
  • fsycl-targets
    Tells the compiler to generate code for specified device targets.
  • fsycl-unnamed-lambda
    Enables unnamed SYCL* lambda kernels.
  • fsycl-use-bitcode
    Tells the compiler to produce device code in LLVM Intermediate Representation (IR) bitcode format into fat objects.

  • ftarget-export-symbols
    Exposes exported symbols in a generated target library to allow for visibility to other modules.
  • nolibsycl
