<h1>OpenMP®: Support for the OpenMP language</h1>
|
|
<!--*********************************************************************-->
|
|
|
|
<p>The OpenMP subproject of LLVM is intended to contain all of the
|
|
components required to build an executing OpenMP program that are
|
|
outside the compiler itself. Support for OpenMP 3.1 in Clang is in the
|
|
process of being promoted into the Clang mainline, and can be
|
|
found at <a href="http://clang-omp.github.io/">OpenMP/Clang</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Here you can find :-
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
the code for the runtime library against which
|
|
code compiled by the OpenMP/Clang compiler must be linked before it
|
|
can run. This code is also available
|
|
at <a href="http://openmprtl.org/">openmprtl.org</a>; we intend to
|
|
keep the different sites in sync.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
the library that supports offload to target devices (in
|
|
"offload")
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
the OpenUH test-suite which is being integrated.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Support for the parts of the OpenMP 4.0 language that are not
|
|
associated with the "target" constructs are contained in the
|
|
"runtime" directory. Support for offloading computation via the
|
|
"target" directive is in the separate "offload" directory. That
|
|
builds a library that provides the interfaces for transferring code
|
|
and data to an attached computational device. Initial support here
|
|
is for the Intel® Xeon Phi™ coprocessor, but work is
|
|
beginning to support other attached computing devices, and the
|
|
design is intended to be general. The README.txt in the "offload"
|
|
directory describes how to build the offload library.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>All of the code here is <a
|
|
href="http://llvm.org/docs/DeveloperPolicy.html#license">dual licensed</a>
|
|
under the MIT license and the UIUC License (a BSD-like license).

|
|

|
|
<h2 id="goals">Features and Goals</h2>
|
|
<!--=====================================================================-->
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Correctness as defined by the
|
|
<a href="http://www.openmp.org/mp-documents/OpenMP3.1.pdf">OpenMP
|
|
3.1 standard (PDF)</a> now, and <a href="http://www.openmp.org/mp-documents/OpenMP4.0.0.pdf">OpenMP
|
|
4.0 standard (PDF)</a> in the future.</li>
|
|
<li>High performance.</li>
|
|
<li>ABI compatibility with <a href="http://gcc.gnu.org">Gcc</a> and
|
|
<a href="http://software.intel.com/en-us/intel-compilers">Intel's
|
|
existing OpenMP compilers.</a>
|
|
With this release we have restored compatibility with OpenMP
|
|
3.1 code compiled by gcc 4.9, however we do not have support
|
|
for OpenMP 4.0 code that uses task cancellation when compiled
|
|
by gcc 4.9. How we will support such code remains a research issue.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<!--=====================================================================-->
|
|
<h2 id="why">Why have the runtime code here?</h2>
|
|
<!--=====================================================================-->
|
|
|
|
<p>It makes sense to have the runtime sources in the same place
|
|
(and with the same license) as the compiler.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<!--=====================================================================-->
|
|
<h2 id="requirements">Platform Support</h2>
|
|
<!--=====================================================================-->
|
|
|
|
<p>The OpenMP runtime is known to work on
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>ARM® architecture processors</li>
|
|
<li>PowerPC™ processors</li>
|
|
<li>32 and 64 bit X86
|
|
processors when compiled with clang, with the Intel compiler
|
|
or with gcc, and also the Intel® Xeon Phi™ product family, when compiled with
|
|
the Intel compiler.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
Ports to other architectures and operating systems are welcome.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>A full OS and archiecture compatibility matrix is in
|
|
<a href="README.txt">README.txt</a>
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<!--=====================================================================-->
|
|
<h2 id="dir-structure">Status</h2>
|
|
<!--=====================================================================-->
|
|
|
|
<p>The runtime can be built with gcc, icc or clang. However, note
|
|
that a runtime built with clang cannot be guaranteed to work with
|
|
OpenMP code compiled by the other compilers, since clang does not support
|
|
a 128-bit float type, and cannot therefore generate the code used
|
|
for reductions of that type (which may occur in user code compiled
|
|
by the other compilers).
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The University of Houston has kindly contributed their test
|
|
suite (in the "testsuite" directory). Integration and use of this
|
|
for automatic testing is in progress.

|
|
|
<p>First please review our
|
|
<a href="http://llvm.org/docs/DeveloperPolicy.html">Developer's Policy</a>.
|
|
|
|
<p>To check out the code, use:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><code>svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/openmp/trunk openmp</code></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Next:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><code>cd openmp/runtime</code></li>
|
|
<li><code>make compiler=gcc</code></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>Full details of how to build are in the
|
|
<a href="README.txt">README.txt</a>
|
|
which also describes a CMake based build system which may be more
|
|
convenient on some platforms and for porting to new platforms than
|
|
the make and Perl based system.
