Latest update (11-09 12:00): Meta explains its LLDB architecture for debugging across CPUs and GPUs

Overview: Meta says it built a vendor-neutral accelerator plugin architecture in lldb-server to debug applications that span CPUs and GPUs. The design keeps shared debugger infrastructure separate from hardware-specific device control, and represents the CPU and GPU as separate LLDB targets within one debugging session.

GPU support activates only when the application uses a supported GPU runtime. CPU-only applications continue through the existing native path.
