+Cuda devices support
+====================
+
+Directives execution modes
+--------------------------
+
+Clang code generation for target regions supports two modes: the SPMD and
+non-SPMD modes. Clang chooses one of these two modes automatically based on the
+way directives and clauses on those directives are used. The SPMD mode uses a
+simplified set of runtime functions thus increasing performance at the cost of
+supporting some OpenMP features. The non-SPMD mode is the most generic mode and
+supports all currently available OpenMP features. The compiler will always
+attempt to use the SPMD mode wherever possible. SPMD mode will not be used if:
+
+ - The target region contains an `if()` clause that refers to a `parallel`
+ directive.
+
+ - The target region contains a `parallel` directive with a `num_threads()`
+ clause.
+
+ - The target region contains user code (other than OpenMP-specific
+ directives) in between the `target` and the `parallel` directives.
+
+Data-sharing modes
+------------------
+
+Clang supports two data-sharing models for Cuda devices: `Generic` and `Cuda`
+modes. The default mode is `Generic`. `Cuda` mode can give an additional
+performance and can be activated using the `-fopenmp-cuda-mode` flag. In
+`Generic` mode all local variables that can be shared in the parallel regions
+are stored in the global memory. In `Cuda` mode local variables are not shared
+between the threads and it is user responsibility to share the required data
+between the threads in the parallel regions.
+
+Features not supported or with limited support for Cuda devices
+---------------------------------------------------------------
+
+- Reductions across the teams are not supported yet.
+
+- Cancellation constructs are not supported.
+
+- Doacross loop nest is not supported.
+
+- User-defined reductions are supported only for trivial types.
+
+- Nested parallelism: inner parallel regions are executed sequentially.
+
+- Static linking of libraries containing device code is not supported yet.
+
+- Automatic translation of math functions in target regions to device-specific
+ math functions is not implemented yet.
+
+- Debug information for OpenMP target regions is not supported yet.

OpenMP Support in Clang
----------------------------------
-- ...
+- Clang gained basic support for OpenMP 4.5 offloading for NVPTX target.
+ To compile your program for NVPTX target use the following options:
+ `-fopenmp -fopenmp-targets=nvptx64-nvidia-cuda` for 64 bit platforms or
+ `-fopenmp -fopenmp-targets=nvptx-nvidia-cuda` for 32 bit platform.
+
+- Passing options to the OpenMP device offloading toolchain can be done using
+ the `-Xopenmp-target=<triple> -opt=val` flag. In this way the `-opt=val`
+ option will be forwarded to the respective OpenMP device offloading toolchain
+ described by the triple. For example passing the compute capability to
+ the OpenMP NVPTX offloading toolchain can be done as follows:
+ `-Xopenmp-target=nvptx62-nvidia-cuda -march=sm_60`. For the case when only
one
+ target offload toolchain is specified under the `-fopenmp-targets=<triples>`
+ option, then the triple can be skipped: `-Xopenmp-target -march=sm_60`.
+
+- Other bugfixes.
