OpenMP Hello World
OpenMP hello world.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <omp.h>
main () {
int nthreads, tid;
/* Fork a team of threads with each thread having a private tid variable */
#pragma omp parallel private(tid)
{
/* Obtain and print thread id */
tid = omp_get_thread_num();
printf("Hello World from thread = %d\n", tid);
/* Only master thread does this */
if (tid == 0)
{
nthreads = omp_get_num_threads();
printf("Number of threads = %d\n", nthreads);
}
} /* All threads join master thread and terminate */
}
Since GCC supports OpenMP natively now you don't have to do anything crazy to compile this code:
$ gcc -fopenmp hello.c -o hello
