Intel has posted a video tutorial on the use of the OpenMP 4.0 SIMD pragmas. http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/performance-essentials-with-openmp-40-vectorization A series of seven videos covering performance essentials using OpenMP 4.0 Vectorization with C/C++. It provides an overview of why explicit vector programming methods are crucial to getting performance on modern many core platforms. [...]
Michael Wong, CEO of OpenMP ARB, reflects on Supercomputing 13 and recent OpenMP advances: I attended Supercomputing in my third year as OpenMP CEO to both represent IBM and OpenMP. This was a big year for us as we closed with many milestones in what I call a Significant Paradigm [...]
A new article, "Full Throttle: OpenMP 4.0" by Michael Klemm, Senior Application Engineer, Intel and Christian Terboven, Deputy Head of HPC Group, RWTH Aachen University, appears in the current issue of Intel's Parallel Universe magazine. “Multicore is here to stay.” This single sentence accurately describes the situation of application developers and the [...]
Intel's Tim Mattson's Introduction to OpenMP video tutorial is now available. Outline: Unit 1: Getting started with OpenMP --Module 1: Introduction to parallel programming --Module 2: The boring bits: Using an OpenMP compiler (hello world) --Discussion 1: Hello world and how threads work Unit 2: The core features of OpenMP [...]
Michael Wolfe, at PGI, writes about programming standards for the next generation of HPC systems. Having just returned from SC13, one burning issue is the choice of a standard approach for programming the next generation HPC systems. While not guaranteed, these systems are likely to be large clusters of nodes [...]
Videos of the five in-booth talks and the Birds of a Feather session at Supercomputing 2013 (November 2013, Denver CO) are now »online.
The first release of the OpenMP 4.0 API Examples document is now available and can be downloaded from the Specifications page. This is a work in progress -- additional examples are under development and will be released in later editions.
