• OpenMP Program starts like any sequential program: single threaded

• To create additional threads user starts a parallel region

  • Additional slave threads are launched to create a team
  • Master thread is part of the team
  • Threads “go away” at the end of the parallel region: usually sleep or spin

• Repeat parallel regions as necessary

  • Fork-join model
