Phoronix: GCC 14 Compiler Might Have AMD RDNA3 GPU Support "Working For Most Purposes"

Earlier this month the GCC 14 compiler landed initial support for AMD RDNA3 "GFX11" graphics processors as part of the GNU Compiler Collection's OpenMP device offloading support for GPU compute. That initial support was rather basic but a follow-up patch has the possibility of making the RDNA3 (GFX11) support "working for most purposes" and will hopefully still be merged in time for the GCC 14.1 stable release...

Did FSR being open source help with this?

might be a super noob question. But what does this mean ?....

Is the compiling process offloaded to the card? Or is the code compiled for the particular GFX architecture such that it can be run on the card?
Most likely the second but i want to understand it clearly.

Your hunch was correct -- the second.
