Hi Tom,

the plugins enable the actual offloading to accelerator devices. Without 
the plugins, the OpenMP target pragmas should be ignored or you might 
get runtime errors if the tool chain is broken. In any case, you cannot 
use the accelerator with OpenMP without having the plugins.

Best
Joachim

     Hi,

     We currently aren't building the libomptarget plugins on Fedora, 
and I'm
     wondering if it would be beneficial for us to start building these
     plugins.
     Do these enable some functionality which wouldn't otherwise be
     available?

     Thanks,
     Tom
