The OpenMP* application programming interface turns 20 this year―and we’re celebrating in the new issue of The Parallel Universe, Intel’s quarterly magazine that explores inroads and innovations in software development.
We asked Michael Klemm (the current CEO of the OpenMP Architecture Review Board, or ARB) and some of his colleagues to give an overview of the newest features in the specification―particularly, enhancements to task-based parallelism and offloading computations to specialized accelerators. Learn why OpenMP remains the gold standard for portable, vendor-neutral parallel programming directives.
