Beyond OpenMP Common Core Training, May 4, 2018
Speakers: Timothy Mattson, Intel; Helen He, NERSC Location: Berkeley Lab, Room 50B-1237. Berkeley, CA Time: 9:00am - 5:00pm PDT, May 4, 2018. Tutorial Description Most OpenMP programmers use only about 19 items from the language. We call these 19 items “the OpenMP Common Core”. Programmers may spend their entire OpenMP programming careers safely inside the common core. Well rounded OpenMP programmers, however, should be aware of what lays just beyond the common core. These less… Read More »

OpenMP Common Core: February 2018
Description OpenMP is the de facto standard for writing parallel applications for shared memory computers. Over 20 years of the development, with a specification over 350 pages now, OpenMP has grown into an intimidating API viewed by many as for “experts only”. Most OpenMP programmers, however, use around 19 items from the specification. We call these 19 items the “OpenMP Common Core”. By focusing on the common core, we make OpenMP what it was always meant to be; an easy API for… Read More »
