llvm dev - May 2021 - Code owner for openmp offloading

Hello all,

I would like to extend my support for this nomination.

For the past two years, Johannes has been providing leadership and consultation
for enabling OpenMP and OpenACC support in Flang. This has led to the creation
of the OpenMP IRBuilder for code-sharing between the Clang, Flang and MLIR
projects for OpenMP and OpenACC. Johannes is our primary contact from the core
OpenMP team.

We recently started work on supporting the target constructs in OpenMP (and
OpenACC) in Flang and MLIR. Plan is to reuse the code and infrastructure that is
there in clang/llvm. Johannes being the code owner will be an acknowledgement of
his great contributions as well as will enable faster decision making and
progress in this area.

Thanks,
Kiran

Subject: [llvm-dev] Code owner for openmp offloading

Hello LLVM,

Openmp target offloading (GPUs, at present) has turned into a substantial
project in it's own right with mostly orthogonal concerns to openmp host.
There's been a multiyear effort to get nvidia and amdgpu targets running,
with host + device + clang + llvm code implemented, weekly calls and annual gsoc
students.

I would like to propose a code owner for openmp target offloading. Specifically
I would like to nominate Johannes, as in my opinion he's been doing that
role for the last couple of years anyway, and is a reliable choice for first
point of contact for new contributors.

Objections? Support? Other?

Thanks all,

Jon

I haven’t heard any objections, and this make sense to me.  Unless there is an
objection in the next 48 hours, please make it so.  Congratulations Johannes,
and thank you for all your past and future hard work!
