Community

»OpenMP.org Forums is where the community of OpenMP users in academia and industry can discuss, ask questions, and exchange information about OpenMP and OpenMP programming with experts. No question is too naïve or too trivial to be asked. You will need to register to be able to post topics to the forums, and it is free and open to everyone.
