The OMPi OpenMP/C Compiler
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have designed and implemented OMPi, a portable compiler for OpenMP/C. This paper presents an overview of our compiler and its supporting libraries. OMPi is a C-to-C translator that takes C code with OpenMP directives and produces equivalent multithreaded C code ready for execution on a multiprocessor. Our compiler is the only publicly available one that adheres to version 2.0 of the standard. OpenMP uses POSIX threads for portability, but its architecture allows targeting other thread libraries, as well. It includes platform-specific optimizations and a full POMP library implementation for instrumentation and performance monitoring.

A portable C compiler for OpenMP V.2.0
This paper presents an overview of OMPi, a portable implementation of the OpenMP API for C, adhering to the recently released version 2.0 of the standard. OMPi is a C-to-C translator which takes C code with OpenMP directives and produces equivalent C code which uses POSIX threads, similarly to other publicly available implementations. However, in contrast to the latter, OMPi is written entirely...
متن کاملNested Parallelism in the OMPi OpenMP/C Compiler
This paper presents a new version of the OMPi OpenMP C compiler, enhanced by lightweight runtime support based on user-level multithreading. A large number of threads can be spawned for a parallel region and multiple levels of parallelism are supported efficiently, without introducing additional overheads to the OpenMP library. Management of nested parallelism is based on an adaptive distributi...
متن کاملDesign and Implementation of OpenMP Compiler for λ Computing Environment
In recent years, the demand for the grid computing technology is arising, and it has been researched widely. In the existing grid computing environment, TCP/IP is usually used for communication between computing nodes. However, the packet processing of TCP/IP degrades network throughput and computing performance. Thus, we have proposed a new architecture called the λ computing environment, that...
متن کاملOpenMP 4.0 Device Support in the OMPi Compiler
OpenMP 4.0 represents a major upgrade in the language specifications of the standard. Important constructs for the exploitation of SIMD parallelism, the support for dependencies among tasks and the ability to cancel the operations of a team of threads have been added. What is arguably the most important addition, however, is the introduction of the device model. A variety of computational units...
