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 ...

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- ...

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 ...

I’m James Reinders. A common question I get asked is “If I’m going to add parallelism to my program, how should I do it? What should I look for?” A seemingly simple question so let’s see if we can ...

One of the things to avoid when it comes to parallelism is working with raw threads. Abstraction offers a way around the issue, by avoiding the need to deal with low-level details of parallel systems, ...

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 ...
