OpenMP is probably the most popular tool in the world to parallelize applications running on processors, but ironically it is not a product, but rather a specification that those who make compilers ...

Systems built from commodity hardware such as servers, desktops and laptops often contain so-called general-purpose processors (CPUs)—processors that specialize in doing many different things ...

OpenMP is the unsung backbone of parallel computing, powerful, portable, and surprisingly simple. Used everywhere from aerospace to AI, it lets developers tap into multicore and GPU performance with ...

OpenMP.org has posted the slides and audio from a day-long tutorial on Hybrid MPI and OpenMP Parallel Programming from SC13. OpenMP is the de facto standard for writing parallel applications for ...

Because the August issue's theme is programming, I thought I should cover some of the more-advanced features available in OpenMP. Several issues ago, I looked at the basics of using OpenMP, so you may ...

I have a question regarding nested OpenMP for-loops in applications where the outer-most for-loop is poorly load balanced. Suppose you have a double for-loop like so (it may not always be so explicit- ...

In this video from GoParallel, Jeff Cogswell from Slashdot Media walks through a quick tutorial on Timing Your Parallel Loops in OpenMP. When you need to time how long an OpenMP program runs, you can ...

Most of the legacy code that needs porting to newer systems is serial code, meaning that the code runs on a single processor with only one instruction executing at a time. Modern OpenVPX boards ...
