This was one of the question asked at SC 08. I will try to answer that here. I will start and add more as I move through the various topics.
OpenMP 3.0 had better support for C++ in the following areas:
- Parallelization of RandomAccess Iterator loops with strict canonical operators
- Threadprivatization of static class members
- Unsigned loop control variable support
- Fully specify constructor call requirement in private/first/lastprivate/threadprivate
- better match with the C++0x memory model
For-Worksharing with Iterator loops:
We specifically enabled C++ RandomAccess iterators and C pointeres to be parallelized with explicit directives.
#include <vector>
void iterator_example()
{
std::vector<int> vec(23);
std::vector<int>::iterator it;
#pragma omp parallel for default(none) shared(vec)
for (it = vec.begin(); it < vec.end(); it++)
{
// do work with *it //
}
}
I will follow up with more examples.
