Openmp is a compilerside solution for creating code that runs on multiple coresthreads.
The \mp in openmp stands for \multiprocessing, another term for sharedmemory parallel computing. There is a restriction on which types of statements you can use with the atomic construct, and you can only protect a single statement. This tutorial includes both c and fortran example codes and a lab exercise. Fortran90 examples of parallel programming with openmp. The directives allow the user to mark areas of the code, such as do, while or for loops, which are suitable for parallel processing.
