From Designing and Building Parallel Programs 2: openMP Shared Memory Programming Language DoD Modernization Tutorial -- 1995-1998. by Ian Foster, Gina Goff, Ehtesham Hayder, Chuck Koelbel(Some foils prepared by Kuck & Associates, Inc.)
Based on fork-join parallelism in shared memory
  • Threads start at beginning of parallel region, come back together at end
  • Close to some hardware
  • Linked from traditional languages
Very good for sharing data and incremental parallelization
Unclear if it is feasible for distributed memory
