Examples of libraries suitable for hosting within the `parallel-libs` subproject are runtime libraries and parallel math libraries. The initial candidates for inclusion in this subproject are StreamExecutor and libomptarget which would live in the `streamexecutor` and `libomptarget` subdirectories of `parallel-libs`, respectively.</span></div><br><div style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:"ubuntu mono";vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;background-color:transparent">The `parallel-libs` project will host a collection of libraries where each library may be dependent on other libraries from the project or may be completely independent of any other libraries in the project. The rationale for hosting independent libraries within the same subproject is that all libraries in the project are providing related functionality that lives at the intersection of parallelism and compiler technology. It is expected that some libraries which initially began as independent will develop dependencies over time either between existing libraries or by extracting common code that can be used by each. One of the purposes of this subproject is to provide a working space where such refactoring and code sharing can take place.</span></div><br><div style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:"ubuntu mono";vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;background-color:transparent">Libraries in the `parallel-libs` subproject may also depend on the LLVM core libraries.
