Does Intel Cilk Plus SDK support offload to gfx?

Hi,

Environment: Linux, latest GCC.

I am evaluating the offloading capabilities of the Intel Cilk Plus SDK using: #pragma offload target(gfx)

Is it supported using the latest Cilk Plus SDK or is Intel Compiler must be used?

When trying the latest GCC it gives a warning that this pragma is not supported.

Regards,

Tomer Gal

GCC does not support offloading to Intel graphics (GFX), and only Intel compilers can generate code for #pragma offload target(gfx).

By the way, if you are interested in using Cilk tools in the SDK, it only supports Intel compiler and runtime for the host environment, so it won't work for the offloaded code.
