  I am not quite sure where to put it - generic, OpenMP/OpenACC language,
but settled for AMD GPU.
I am also not sure how to word it best, one wording variant is attached.

Comments - better suggestions?
OK?

The wording looks fine to me, but I'd put this either before or after 
the two existing <li> for AMD instead of sandwiched in the middle.
