+# `DO CONCURENT` mapping to OpenMP
+
+```{contents}
+---
+local:
+---
+```
+
+This document seeks to describe the effort to parallelize `do concurrent` loops
+by mapping them to OpenMP worksharing constructs. The goals of this document
+are:
+* Describing how to instruct `flang` to map `DO CONCURENT` loops to OpenMP
+  constructs.
+* Tracking the current status of such mapping.
+* Describing the limitations of the current implmenentation.
+* Describing next steps.
+* Tracking the current upstreaming status (from the AMD ROCm fork).
+
+## Usage
+
+In order to enable `do concurrent` to OpenMP mapping, `flang` adds a new
+compiler flag: `-fdo-concurrent-to-openmp`. This flag has 3 possible values:
+1. `host`: this maps `do concurent` loops to run in parallel on the host CPU.
+   This maps such loops to the equivalent of `omp parallel do`.
+2. `device`: this maps `do concurent` loops to run in parallel on a target device.
