This fall will mark twenty years since the publication of the v1.0 specification of OpenMP Fortran. From early loop parallelism to a heterogeneous, exascale future, OpenMP has apparently weathered ...

Systems built from commodity hardware such as servers, desktops and laptops often contain so-called general-purpose processors (CPUs)—processors that specialize in doing many different things ...

The OpenMP* API for shared memory parallelism has been around for two decades. Back in 1997, the first version of the OpenMP (Open Multi-Processing) specifications attempted to provide an easy way to ...

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The OpenMP Architecture Review Board (ARB) is pleased to announce Version 6.0 of the OpenMP API Specification, a major upgrade of the OpenMP ...

One of the things to avoid when it comes to parallelism is working with raw threads. Abstraction offers a way around the issue, by avoiding the need to deal with low-level details of parallel systems, ...

OpenMP is the unsung backbone of parallel computing, powerful, portable, and surprisingly simple. Used everywhere from aerospace to AI, it lets developers tap into multicore and GPU performance with ...

In this video, Markus Eisenbach and Dmitry Liakh from ORNL present: Intro to OpenMP, Part 1. This video was recorded as part of the “Introduction to HPC” workshop that took place at ORNL from June ...

Most of the legacy code that needs porting to newer systems is serial code, meaning that the code runs on a single processor with only one instruction executing at a time. Modern OpenVPX boards ...

I’m James Reinders. A common question I get asked is “If I’m going to add parallelism to my program, how should I do it? What should I look for?” A seemingly simple question so let’s see if we can ...
