+
+The options under the ``targets`` attribute control which targets are considered during a solve.
+Currently the options in this section are only configurable from the ``concretization.yaml`` file
+and there are no corresponding command line arguments to enable them for a single solve.
+
+The ``granularity`` option can take two possible values: ``microarchitectures`` and ``generic``.
+If set to:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+ concretizer:
+ targets:
+ granularity: microarchitectures
+
+Spack will consider all the microarchitectures known to ``archspec`` to label nodes for
+compatibility. If instead the option is set to:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+ concretizer:
+ targets:
+ granularity: generic
+
+Spack will consider only generic microarchitectures. For instance, when running on an
+Haswell node, Spack will consider ``haswell`` as the best target in the former case and
+``x86_64_v3`` as the best target in the latter case.
+
+The ``host_compatible`` option is a Boolean option that determines whether or not the
+microarchitectures considered during the solve are constrained to be compatible with the
+host Spack is currently running on. For instance, if this option is set to ``true``, a
+user cannot concretize for ``target=icelake`` while running on an Haswell node.
