% This is the introduction for the OpenMP Examples document.
|
||
% This is an included file. See the master file (openmp-examples.tex) for more information.
|

%
|
||
% When editing this file:
|
||
%
|
||
% 1. To change formatting, appearance, or style, please edit openmp.sty.
|
||
%
|
||
% 2. Custom commands and macros are defined in openmp.sty.
|
||
%
|
||
% 3. Be kind to other editors -- keep a consistent style by copying-and-pasting to
|
||
% create new content.
|
||
%
|
||
% 4. We use semantic markup, e.g. (see openmp.sty for a full list):
|
||
% \code{} % for bold monospace keywords, code, operators, etc.
|
||
% \plc{} % for italic placeholder names, grammar, etc.
|
||
%
|
||
% 5. Other recommendations:
|
||
% Use the convenience macros defined in openmp.sty for the minor headers
|
||
% such as Comments, Syntax, etc.
|
||
%
|
||
% To keep items together on the same page, prefer the use of
|
||
% \begin{samepage}.... Avoid \parbox for text blocks as it interrupts line numbering.
|
||
% When possible, avoid \filbreak, \pagebreak, \newpage, \clearpage unless that's
|
||
% what you mean. Use \needspace{} cautiously for troublesome paragraphs.
|
||
%
|
||
% Avoid absolute lengths and measures in this file; use relative units when possible.
|
||
% Vertical space can be relative to \baselineskip or ex units. Horizontal space
|
||
% can be relative to \linewidth or em units.
|
||
%
|
||
% Prefer \emph{} to italicize terminology, e.g.:
|
||
% This is a \emph{definition}, not a placeholder.
|
||
% This is a \plc{var-name}.

This collection of programming examples supplements the OpenMP API for Shared
|
||
Memory Parallelization specifications, and is not part of the formal specifications. It
|
||
assumes familiarity with the OpenMP specifications, and shares the typographical
|
||
conventions used in that document.
|
||
|
||
\notestart
|
||
\noteheader – This first release of the OpenMP Examples reflects the OpenMP Version 4.0
|
||
specifications. Additional examples are being developed and will be published in future
|
||
releases of this document.

|
||
|
||
The OpenMP API specification provides a model for parallel programming that is
|
||
portable across shared memory architectures from different vendors. Compilers from
|
||
numerous vendors support the OpenMP API.
|
||
|
||
The directives, library routines, and environment variables demonstrated in this
|
||
document allow users to create and manage parallel programs while permitting
|
||
portability. The directives extend the C, C++ and Fortran base languages with single
|
||
program multiple data (SPMD) constructs, tasking constructs, device constructs,
|
||
worksharing constructs, and synchronization constructs, and they provide support for
|
||
sharing and privatizing data. The functionality to control the runtime environment is
|
||
provided by library routines and environment variables. Compilers that support the
|
||
OpenMP API often include a command line option to the compiler that activates and
|
||
allows interpretation of all OpenMP directives.
|
||
|
||
Complete information about the OpenMP API and a list of the compilers that support
|
||
the OpenMP API can be found at the OpenMP.org web site
