Experimental Patch Brings Very Primitive AMD Instinct MI300 Support To GCC Compiler


With AMD continuing to be focused on their AMDGPU LLVM compiler back-end for their GPU compiler needs from compute to graphics shaders, the AMD GPU/accelerator hardware support within the GNU Compiler Collection 'GCC' has long taken a backseat and left to third-party firms to implement
