@chapter Enabling OpenMP
To activate the OpenMP extensions for C/C++ and Fortran, the compile-time
flag @command{-fopenmp} must be specified. This enables the OpenMP directive
@code{#pragma omp} in C/C++ and @code{!$omp} directives in free form,
@code{c$omp}, @code{*$omp} and @code{!$omp} directives in fixed form,
@code{!$} conditional compilation sentinels in free form and @code{c$},
@code{*$} and @code{!$} sentinels in fixed form, for Fortran. The flag also
arranges for automatic linking of the OpenMP runtime library
(@ref{Runtime Library Routines}).
A complete description of all OpenMP directives accepted may be found in
the @uref{http://www.openmp.org, OpenMP Application Program Interface} manual,
version 3.0.

@node GOMP_CPU_AFFINITY
@section @env{GOMP_CPU_AFFINITY} -- Bind threads to specific CPUs
@cindex Environment Variable
@table @asis
@item @emph{Description}:
Binds threads to specific CPUs. The variable should contain a space- or
comma-separated list of CPUs. This list may contain different kind of
entries: either single CPU numbers in any order, a range of CPUs (M-N)
or a range with some stride (M-N:S). CPU numbers are zero based. For example,
@code{GOMP_CPU_AFFINITY="0 3 1-2 4-15:2"} will bind the initial thread
to CPU 0, the second to CPU 3, the third to CPU 1, the fourth to
CPU 2, the fifth to CPU 4, the sixth through tenth to CPUs 6, 8, 10, 12,
and 14 respectively and then start assigning back from the beginning of
the list. @code{GOMP_CPU_AFFINITY=0} binds all threads to CPU 0.
There is no GNU OpenMP library routine to determine whether a CPU affinity
specification is in effect. As a workaround, language-specific library
functions, e.g., @code{getenv} in C or @code{GET_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE} in
Fortran, may be used to query the setting of the @code{GOMP_CPU_AFFINITY}
environment variable. A defined CPU affinity on startup cannot be changed
or disabled during the runtime of the application.
If this environment variable is omitted, the host system will handle the
assignment of threads to CPUs.

argument. If the stacksize can not be set due to system constraints, an
error is reported and the initial stacksize is left unchanged. If undefined,
the stack size is system dependent.

@node Implementing MASTER construct
@section Implementing MASTER construct
@smallexample
if (omp_get_thread_num () == 0)
block
@end smallexample
Alternately, we generate two copies of the parallel subfunction
and only include this in the version run by the master thread.
Surely that's not worthwhile though...
@node Implementing CRITICAL construct
@section Implementing CRITICAL construct
Without a specified name,
@smallexample
void GOMP_critical_start (void);
void GOMP_critical_end (void);
@end smallexample
so that we don't get COPY relocations from libgomp to the main
application.
With a specified name, use omp_set_lock and omp_unset_lock with
name being transformed into a variable declared like
@smallexample
omp_lock_t gomp_critical_user_<name> __attribute__((common))
@end smallexample
Ideally the ABI would specify that all zero is a valid unlocked
state, and so we wouldn't actually need to initialize this at
startup.
@node Implementing ATOMIC construct
@section Implementing ATOMIC construct
The target should implement the @code{__sync} builtins.
Failing that we could add
@smallexample
void GOMP_atomic_enter (void)
void GOMP_atomic_exit (void)
@end smallexample
which reuses the regular lock code, but with yet another lock
object private to the library.
@node Implementing FLUSH construct
@section Implementing FLUSH construct
Expands to the @code{__sync_synchronize} builtin.
@node Implementing BARRIER construct
@section Implementing BARRIER construct
@smallexample
void GOMP_barrier (void)
@end smallexample
@node Implementing THREADPRIVATE construct
@section Implementing THREADPRIVATE construct
In _most_ cases we can map this directly to @code{__thread}. Except
that OMP allows constructors for C++ objects. We can either
refuse to support this (how often is it used?) or we can
implement something akin to .ctors.
Even more ideally, this ctor feature is handled by extensions
to the main pthreads library. Failing that, we can have a set
of entry points to register ctor functions to be called.
@node Implementing PRIVATE clause
@section Implementing PRIVATE clause
In association with a PARALLEL, or within the lexical extent
of a PARALLEL block, the variable becomes a local variable in
the parallel subfunction.
In association with FOR or SECTIONS blocks, create a new
automatic variable within the current function. This preserves
the semantic of new variable creation.
@node Implementing FIRSTPRIVATE LASTPRIVATE COPYIN and COPYPRIVATE clauses
@section Implementing FIRSTPRIVATE LASTPRIVATE COPYIN and COPYPRIVATE clauses
Seems simple enough for PARALLEL blocks. Create a private
struct for communicating between parent and subfunction.
In the parent, copy in values for scalar and "small" structs;
copy in addresses for others TREE_ADDRESSABLE types. In the
subfunction, copy the value into the local variable.
Not clear at all what to do with bare FOR or SECTION blocks.
The only thing I can figure is that we do something like
@smallexample
#pragma omp for firstprivate(x) lastprivate(y)
for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i)
body;
@end smallexample
which becomes
@smallexample
@{
int x = x, y;
// for stuff
if (i == n)
y = y;
@}
@end smallexample
where the "x=x" and "y=y" assignments actually have different
uids for the two variables, i.e. not something you could write
directly in C. Presumably this only makes sense if the "outer"
x and y are global variables.
COPYPRIVATE would work the same way, except the structure
broadcast would have to happen via SINGLE machinery instead.
@node Implementing REDUCTION clause
@section Implementing REDUCTION clause
The private struct mentioned in the previous section should have
a pointer to an array of the type of the variable, indexed by the
thread's @var{team_id}. The thread stores its final value into the
array, and after the barrier the master thread iterates over the
array to collect the values.
@node Implementing PARALLEL construct
@section Implementing PARALLEL construct
@smallexample
#pragma omp parallel
@{
body;
@}
@end smallexample
becomes
@smallexample
void subfunction (void *data)
@{
use data;
body;
@}
setup data;
GOMP_parallel_start (subfunction, &data, num_threads);
subfunction (&data);
GOMP_parallel_end ();
@end smallexample
@smallexample
void GOMP_parallel_start (void (*fn)(void *), void *data, unsigned num_threads)
@end smallexample
The @var{FN} argument is the subfunction to be run in parallel.
The @var{DATA} argument is a pointer to a structure used to
communicate data in and out of the subfunction, as discussed
above with respect to FIRSTPRIVATE et al.
The @var{NUM_THREADS} argument is 1 if an IF clause is present
and false, or the value of the NUM_THREADS clause, if
present, or 0.
The function needs to create the appropriate number of
threads and/or launch them from the dock. It needs to
create the team structure and assign team ids.
@smallexample
void GOMP_parallel_end (void)
@end smallexample
Tears down the team and returns us to the previous @code{omp_in_parallel()} state.
@node Implementing FOR construct
@section Implementing FOR construct
@smallexample
#pragma omp parallel for
for (i = lb; i <= ub; i++)
body;
@end smallexample
becomes
@smallexample
void subfunction (void *data)
@{
long _s0, _e0;
while (GOMP_loop_static_next (&_s0, &_e0))
@{
long _e1 = _e0, i;
for (i = _s0; i < _e1; i++)
body;
@}
GOMP_loop_end_nowait ();
@}
GOMP_parallel_loop_static (subfunction, NULL, 0, lb, ub+1, 1, 0);
subfunction (NULL);
GOMP_parallel_end ();
@end smallexample
@smallexample
#pragma omp for schedule(runtime)
for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
body;
@end smallexample
becomes
@smallexample
@{
long i, _s0, _e0;
if (GOMP_loop_runtime_start (0, n, 1, &_s0, &_e0))
do @{
long _e1 = _e0;
for (i = _s0, i < _e0; i++)
body;
@} while (GOMP_loop_runtime_next (&_s0, _&e0));
GOMP_loop_end ();
@}
@end smallexample
Note that while it looks like there is trickyness to propagating
a non-constant STEP, there isn't really. We're explicitly allowed
to evaluate it as many times as we want, and any variables involved
should automatically be handled as PRIVATE or SHARED like any other
variables. So the expression should remain evaluable in the
subfunction. We can also pull it into a local variable if we like,
but since its supposed to remain unchanged, we can also not if we like.
If we have SCHEDULE(STATIC), and no ORDERED, then we ought to be
able to get away with no work-sharing context at all, since we can
simply perform the arithmetic directly in each thread to divide up
the iterations. Which would mean that we wouldn't need to call any
of these routines.
There are separate routines for handling loops with an ORDERED
clause. Bookkeeping for that is non-trivial...
