OpenMP 3.0: WHAT IS NEW?
Alex DURAN
The
OpenMP
Architecture Review Board released the new 3.0 specification last May
after several years of work. This talk will present the main features
that have been introduced to the language and how to use them by means
of examples. In particular, the introduction of task parallelism has
changed part of the underlying model of OpenMP. The addition of task
parallelism to the language opens the possibility of using OpenMP in a
number of new kinds of applications other than traditional scientific
applications. The design and integration of this task parallelism was
not made without difficult trade-offs. We will analyze the implications
of these trade-offs for the OpenMP programmers through the use of
several examples. These examples will show common problems of
programming with tasks and their solutions.
Dr. Alex
Duran is a Senior
Researcher at the Programming Models group of the Barcelona
Supercomputing Center. He does research in runtime adaptive techniques
for parallel languages. He is also a Compunity member in the OpenMP
Language Committee.
