== Limitations with the experimental version

The {dpcpp} implementation of this extension currently has some important
limitations. The application must be compiled in ahead-of-time (AOT) mode
using `-fsycl-targets=<special-target>` where `<special-target>` is one of the
limitations with the `if_architecture_is` free function. In order to use this
feature, the application must be compiled in ahead-of-time (AOT) mode using
`-fsycl-targets=<special-target>` where `<special-target>` is one of the
"special target values" listed in the link:../../UsersManual.md[users manual]
description of the `-fsycl-targets` option. These are the target names of the
form "intel_gpu_*", "nvidia_gpu_*", or "amd_gpu_*".

The two APIs `device::ext_oneapi_architecture_is` and the
`ext::oneapi::experimental::info::device::architecture` device descriptor are
currently supported only for Intel devices (both GPU and CPU). There is no
support yet for Nvidia or AMD devices.
