+This library implements the agent-side runtime functionality required
+to run HSA finalized programs produced by the BRIG frontend.
+
+The library contains both the code required to run kernels on the agent
+and also functions implementing more complex HSAIL instructions.
+
+rt/workitems.c contains the runtime entry function that manages multiple
+work-item execution using fibers or simple for-loops (in case of work groups
+without barriers). Otherwise, the rest of the source files mostly contain
+functions that typically map directly to HSAIL instructions.
