\pagebreak \section{Asynchronous \code{target} Execution and Dependences} \label{sec:async_target_exec_depend} Asynchronous execution of a \code{target} region can be accomplished by creating an explicit task around the \code{target} region. Examples with explicit tasks are shown at the beginning of this section. As of OpenMP 4.5 and beyond the \code{nowait} clause can be used on the \code{target} directive for asynchronous execution. Examples with \code{nowait} clauses follow the explicit \code{task} examples. This section also shows the use of \code{depend} clauses to order executions through dependences.
