OpenMP 3.0 - A Preview of the Upcoming Standard
نویسنده
چکیده
The OpenMP 3.0 standard should be released for public comment by the time of this conference. OpenMP 3.0 is the first major upgrade of the OpenMP standard since the merger of the C and Fortran standards in OpenMP 2.5. This talk will give an overview of the new features in the OpenMP standard and show how they help to extend the range of problems for which OpenMP is suitable. Even with multi-core, the number of hardware cores in an SMP node is likely to be relatively small for the next few years. Further, a number of users want to use OpenMP, but need to scale to more cores than fit in a node, and do not want to mix OpenMP and MPI. Intel supports a production quality OpenMP implementation for clusters that provides a way out. This talk will briefly introduce Intel Cluster OpenMP, provide an overview of the tools available for writing programs, and show some performance data. R. Perrott et al.

A Microbenchmark Suite for OpenMP Tasks
We present a set of extensions to an existing microbenchmark suite for OpenMP. The new benchmarks measure the overhead of the task construct introduced in the OpenMP 3.0 standard, and associated task synchronisation constructs. We present the results from a variety of compilers and hardware platforms, which demonstrate some significant differences in performance between different OpenMP impleme...

متن کاملPerformance Characteristics of OpenMP Constructs, and Applications Benchmarks on a Large Symmetric Multiprocessor
With the increasing popularity of small to large-scale symmetric multiprocessor (SMP) systems, there has been a dire need to have sophisticated, and flexible development and runtime environments for efficient and rapid development of parallel applications. To this end, OpenMP has emerged as the standard for parallel programming on shared-memory systems. It is very important to evaluate the perf...
متن کاملEvaluating OpenMP 3.0 Run Time Systems on Unbalanced Task Graphs
The UTS benchmark is used to evaluate task parallelism in OpenMP 3.0 as implemented in a number of recently released compilers and run-time systems. UTS performs parallel search of an irregular and unpredictable search space, as arises e.g. in combinatorial optimization problems. As such UTS presents a highly unbalanced task graph that challenges scheduling, load balancing, termination detectio...
