+OpenMP Command-Line Argument Reference
+======================================
+Welcome to the OpenMP in LLVM command line argument reference. The content is
+not a complete list of arguments but includes the essential command-line
+arguments you may need when compiling and linking OpenMP.
+Section :ref:`general_command_line_arguments` lists OpenMP command line options
+for multicore programming while :ref:`offload_command_line_arguments` lists
+options relevant to OpenMP target offloading.
+
+.. _general_command_line_arguments:
+
+OpenMP Command-Line Arguments
+-----------------------------
+
+``-fopenmp``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Enable the OpenMP compilation toolchain. The compiler will parse OpenMP
+compiler directives and generate parallel code.
+
+``-fopenmp-extensions``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Enable all ``Clang`` extensions for OpenMP directives and clauses. A list of
+current extensions and their implementation status can be found on the
+`support <https://clang.llvm.org/docs/OpenMPSupport.html#openmp-extensions>`_
+page.
+
+``-fopenmp-simd``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+This option enables OpenMP only for single instruction, multiple data
+(SIMD) constructs.
+
+``-static-openmp``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Use the static OpenMP host runtime while linking.
+
+``-fopenmp-version=<arg>``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Set the OpenMP version to a specific version ``<arg>`` of the OpenMP standard.
+For example, you may use ``-fopenmp-version=45`` to select version 4.5 of
+the OpenMP standard. The default value is ``-fopenmp-version=50`` for ``Clang``
+and ``-fopenmp-version=11`` for ``flang-new``.
+
+.. _offload_command_line_arguments:
+
+Offloading Specific Command-Line Arguments
+------------------------------------------
+
+.. _fopenmp-targets:
+
+``-fopenmp-targets``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+| Specify which OpenMP offloading targets should be supported. For example, you
+ may specify ``-fopenmp-targets=amdgcn-amd-amdhsa,nvptx64``. This option is
+ often optional when :ref:`offload_arch` is provided.
+| It is also possible to offload to CPU architectures, for instance with
+ ``-fopenmp-targets=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu``.
+
+.. _offload_arch:
+
+``--offload-arch``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+| Specify the device architecture for OpenMP offloading. For instance
+ ``--offload-arch=sm_80`` to target an Nvidia Tesla A100,
+ ``--offload-arch=gfx90a`` to target an AMD Instinct MI250X, or
+ ``--offload-arch=sm_80,gfx90a`` to target both.
+| It is also possible to specify :ref:`fopenmp-targets` without specifying
+ ``--offload-arch``. In that case, the executables ``amdgpu-arch`` or
+ ``nvptx-arch`` will be executed as part of the compiler driver to
+ detect the device arhitecture automatically.
+| Finally, the device architecture will also be automatically inferred with
+ ``--offload-arch=native``.
+
+``--offload-device-only``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Compile only the code that goes on the device. This option is mainly for
+debugging purposes. It is primarily used for inspecting the intermediate
+representation (IR) output when compiling for the device. It may also be used
+if device-only runtimes are created.
+
+``--offload-host-only``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Compile only the code that goes on the host. With this option enabled, the
+``.llvm.offloading`` section with embedded device code will not be included in
+the intermediate representation.
+
+``--offload-host-device``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Compile the target regions for both the host and the device. That is the
+default option.
+
+``-Xopenmp-target <arg>``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Pass an argument ``<arg>`` to the offloading toolchain, for instance
+``-Xopenmp-target -march=sm_80``.
+
+``-Xopenmp-target=<triple> <arg>``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Pass an argument ``<arg>`` to the offloading toolchain for the target
+``<triple>``. That is especially useful when an argument must
diff er for each
+triple. For instance ``-Xopenmp-target=nvptx64 --offload-arch=sm_80
+-Xopenmp-target=amdgcn --offload-arch=gfx90a`` to specify the device
+architecture. Alternatively, :ref:`Xarch_host` and :ref:`Xarch_device` can
+pass an argument to the host and device compilation toolchain.
+
+``-Xoffload-linker<triple> <arg>``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Pass an argument ``<arg>`` to the offloading linker for the target specified in
+``<triple>``.
+
+.. _Xarch_device:
+
+``-Xarch_device <arg>``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Pass an argument ``<arg>`` to the device compilation toolchain.
+
+.. _Xarch_host:
+
+``-Xarch_host <arg>``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Pass an argument ``<arg>`` to the host compilation toolchain.
+
+``-foffload-lto[=<arg>]``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Enable device link time optimization (LTO) and select the LTO mode ``<arg>``.
+Select either ``-foffload-lto=thin`` or ``-foffload-lto=full``. Thin LTO takes
+less time while still achieving some performance gains. If no argument is set,
+this option defaults to ``-foffload-lto=full``.
+
+``-fopenmp-offload-mandatory``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+| This option is set to avoid generating the host fallback code
+ executed when offloading to the device fails. That is
+ helpful when the target contains code that cannot be compiled for the host, for
+ instance, if it contains unguarded device intrinsics.
+| This option can also be used to reduce compile time.
+| This option should not be used when one wants to verify that the code is being
+ offloaded to the device. Instead, set the environment variable
+ ``OMP_TARGET_OFFLOAD='MANDATORY'`` to confirm that the code is being offloaded to
+ the device.
+
+``-fopenmp-target-debug[=<arg>]``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Enable debugging in the device runtime library (RTL). Note that it is both
+necessary to configure the debugging in the device runtime at compile-time with
+``-fopenmp-target-debug=<arg>`` and enable debugging at runtime with the
+environment variable ``LIBOMPTARGET_DEVICE_RTL_DEBUG=<arg>``. Further, it is
+currently only supported for Nvidia targets as of July 2023. Alternatively, the
+environment variable ``LIBOMPTARGET_DEBUG`` can be set to debug both Nvidia and
+AMD GPU targets. For more information, see the
+`debugging instructions <https://openmp.llvm.org/design/Runtimes.html#debugging>`_.
+The debugging instructions list the supported debugging arguments.
+
+``-fopenmp-target-jit``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+| Emit code that is Just-in-Time (JIT) compiled for OpenMP offloading. Embed
+ LLVM-IR for the device code in the object files rather than binary code for the
+ respective target. At runtime, the LLVM-IR is optimized again and compiled for
+ the target device. The optimization level can be set at runtime with
+ ``LIBOMPTARGET_JIT_OPT_LEVEL``, for instance,
+ ``LIBOMPTARGET_JIT_OPT_LEVEL=3`` corresponding to optimizations level ``-O3``.
+ See the
+ `OpenMP JIT details <https://openmp.llvm.org/design/Runtimes.html#libomptarget-jit-pre-opt-ir-module>`_
+ for instructions on extracting the embedded device code before or after the
+ JIT and more.
+| We want to emphasize that JIT for OpenMP offloading is good for debugging as
+ the target IR can be extracted, modified, and injected at runtime.
+
+``--offload-new-driver``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+In upstream LLVM, OpenMP only uses the new driver. However, enabling this
+option for experimental linking with CUDA or HIP files is necessary.
+
+``--offload-link``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Use the new offloading linker `clang-linker-wrapper` to perform the link job.
+`clang-linker-wrapper` is the default offloading linker for OpenMP. This option
+can be used to use the new offloading linker in toolchains that do not automatically
+use it. It is necessary to enable this option when linking with CUDA or HIP files.
+
+``-nogpulib``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Do not link the device library for CUDA or HIP device compilation.
+
+``-nogpuinc``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Do not include the default CUDA or HIP headers, and do not add CUDA or HIP
+include paths.

+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+We recommend taking a look at the OpenMP
+:doc:`command line argument reference <CommandLineArgumentReference>` page.
+
+Q: Why is my build taking a long time?
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+When installing OpenMP and other LLVM components, the build time on multicore
+systems can be significantly reduced with parallel build jobs. As suggested in
+*LLVM Techniques, Tips, and Best Practices*, one could consider using ``ninja`` as the
+generator. This can be done with the CMake option ``cmake -G Ninja``. Afterward,
+use ``ninja install`` and specify the number of parallel jobs with ``-j``. The build
+time can also be reduced by setting the build type to ``Release`` with the
+``CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE`` option. Recompilation can also be sped up by caching previous
+compilations. Consider enabling ``Ccache`` with
+``CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_LAUNCHER=ccache``.
