Open-Source OpenMP* Runtime Library

Thank you for visiting this site. The development of the open-source OpenMP* runtime now happens in the context of LLVM*. Please visit http://openmp.llvm.org for source access, and use the openmp-dev@lists.llvm.org mailing list for discussions about the OpenMP* implementation.

Note that the LLVM* OpenMP* runtime is binary compatible with code compiled by the Intel(R) OpenMP* compilers, and we intend to maintain that property in the future.

We are excited to announce the next release of the Intel® OpenMP* Runtime Library at openmprtl.org. This release aligns with Intel® Parallel Studio XE 2017 Composer Edition

New Features:

  • OpenMP* 4.5 nonmonotonic modifier for schedule dynamic and guided support

Bug Fixes:

  • Hang when tasks with nested parallelism are used fixed
  • task depend for single thread improved
  • KMP_PLACE_THREADS environment variable renamed into KMP_HW_SUBSET with similar functionality
  • KMP_HW_SUBSET for disabled hyper-threading fixed
  • KMP_HW_SUBSET for KMP_AFFINITY=none is supported
  • Performance of single construct improved on Intel(R) Xeon Phi.
  • TAS lock backoff code improved for non-x86 architectures

Contributions:

25 February 2014, 1:50 am: Compiler flags

Dear all,

I am looking for flag option that used to generate intermediate representation of OpenMP* on icc, such as explain in (1.7.1 Work Sharing Example).

Also, is it possible to extend  icc compiler by adding new pragma (directive)?

Thanks in adavnce

Regards

Is there any way I can summon nCores with OpenMP?

14 February 2014, 1:14 am: __kmpc_push_num_threads bug?

I use __kmpc_push_num_threads for support num_threads clause. But it is segmentation fault when call __kmp_push_num_threads.

I debug with gdb and found that __kmp_threads is null. This is __kmpc_push_num_threads bug? or I miss anything?

kmp_runtime.c:7884
7884	    kmp_info_t *thr = __kmp_threads[gtid];
(gdb) p __kmp_threads
$1 = (kmp_info_t **) 0x0

Thank you
