SUSE and University of Delaware Join the OpenMP Effort
SUSE and the University of Delaware have joined the OpenMP ARB, a group of leading hardware and software vendors and research organizations creating the standard for the most popular shared-memory parallel programming model in use today.
OpenMP @ SC18 Dallas, TX.
Join us in Dallas, TX. for SuperComputing 2018 where we will be celebrating the latest OpenMP 5.0 specification. In addition we have a packed agenda of other OpenMP events, inc. booth talks, BOF, tutorials, and papers. more
IEEE Article: The Ongoing Evolution of OpenMP
This paper presents an overview of the past, present and future of the OpenMP application programming interface (API). While the API originally specified a small set of directives that guided shared memory fork-join parallelization of loops and program sections, OpenMP now provides a richer set of directives that capture a wide range of parallelization strategies that are not strictly limited to shared memory.
OpenMP ARB Releases Preview of OpenMP 5.0 for Public Review
Austin, Texas – July 24, 2018 - The OpenMP® Architecture Review Board (ARB) has released Technical Report 7, the final preview and public comment draft for the future OpenMP® API, version 5.0. Version 5.0 will represent a major leap forward to ready the OpenMP programming model for Exascale computing. Users and implementers are encouraged to provide feedback on the proposed API. Feedback can be posted on the OpenMP Forum.
TR7 – OpenMP 5.0 Draft Now Available for Public Discussion
This Technical Report is the public comment draft for the OpenMP Application Programming Specification version 5.0 that augments the OpenMP API Specification version 4.5 with support for C11, C++14/17, and Fortran 2008, for concurrent loops, improved worksharing constructs, task reductions, runtime interfaces for first-party (OMPT) and for third-party tools (OMPD), major extensions to the device constructs, memory allocation features, improved task dependencies, and several clarifications and corrections.
