The problem is the lack of dispatch buffers when thousands of loops with nowait, about 10 iterations each, are executed by hundreds of threads. We only have built-in 7 dispatch buffers, but there is a need in dozens or hundreds of buffers. The problem can be fixed by setting KMP_MAX_DISP_BUF to bigger value. In order to give users same possibility I changed build-time control into run-time one, adding API just in case. This change adds an environment variable KMP_DISP_NUM_BUFFERS and a new API function kmp_set_disp_num_buffers(int num_buffers). The KMP_DISP_NUM_BUFFERS envirable works only before serial initialization, because during the serial initialization we already allocate buffers for the hot team, so it is too late to change the number of buffers later (or we need to reallocate buffers for all teams which sounds too complicated). The kmp_set_defaults() routine does not work for this envirable, because it calls serial initialization before reading the parameter string. So a new routine, kmp_set_disp_num_buffers(), is created so that it can set our internal global variable before the library initialization. If both the envirable and API used the envirable wins.
