Work-Sharing Constructs Loop Construct

The document discusses loop work-sharing constructs in OpenMP. It explains that the loop construct specifies that loop iterations will be shared in parallel by all threads. It provides the syntax for the loop construct using #pragma omp parallel and #pragma omp for directives. The loop iterations can be split across threads using these pragmas. It also shows how the pragmas can be combined into a single #pragma omp parallel for directive.

 About Work-sharing constructs Work-sharing constructs
• There are three types worksharing
constructs
– loop construct
– sections construct
– single construct
• Restrictions
– Each worksharing region must be encountered
by all threads in a team or by none at all
– The sequence of worksharing regions and
barrier regions encountered must be the same
for every thread in a team.

 About Work-sharing constructs Loop Construct
 Loop work-sharing construct
• Loop Construct
– The loop construct specifies that the iterations
of one or more associated loops will be shared
in parallel by all threads.
• FOR
– Splits loop iterations into threads
– Must be in the parallel region
– Must precede the loop

FOR-Loop Construct
– Syntax with two pragmas
• Syntax
#pragma omp parallel
#pragma omp parallel
#pragma omp for
for(i=0; i<N; i++) #pragma omp for

{ i=0 i=3 i=6 i=9


Do_Work(i); i=1 i=4 i=7 i = 10
i=2 i=5 i=8 i = 11
}
• Example Implicit barrier

#pragma omp parallel


#pragma omp for
for(i = 0; i < 12; i++)
c[i] = a[i] + b[i]
