Already since 1998, the HPC team of the RZ is engaged in shared memory parallelization with OpenMP. Since then, OpenMP is used in production on the large SMP computers of the RZ with up to 144 cores. Recently, with the advent of multicore processors in the mass market OpenMP is gaining more and more steam.
Please find a short description of our OpenMP activities here (pdf, in German).
You can find some of our publications listed here(html) or here (pdf)
We are members of the OpenMP ARB, the cOMPunity, and actively participate at the International OpenMP Workshops IWOMP .
Christian Terboven, one of our HPC team members is running an interesting blog on OpenMP and C++ ...
You can use the following OpenMP compilers on our machinery:
You can find a detailled description of how to employ OpenMP on the RZ compute cluster in our HPC Primer. Please find any announcements of classes and course material of previous courses.
