<div dir="ltr">All,<br><br>This is to announce availability of a full OpenMP 3.1 support implementation in Clang compiler.<br><br>The project is hosted there: <a href="http://clang-omp.github.com/">http://clang-omp.github.com/</a><br>
<br>It is based on clang 3.3 (and will be updated as new clang/llvm releases become available); also, we plan to eventually contribute everything to the clang trunk (initial patches have already been committed).<br><br>This implementation supports 3.1 version of OpenMP standard in full; it passes all OpenMP tests we tried with it so far (this includes OpenMP Validation Suite from OpenUH Research Compiler, SPEC OMP2012 and internal Intel test suites). Performance-wise, it demonstrates similar gains and scalability as other compilers with OpenMP support. (Sorry, I can’t be more specific here, as properly reporting performance results is a precise and laborious process. You are welcome to try clang compiler with OpenMP support on your own OpenMP programs, awe performance gains and share excitement with the community. :-))<br>
<br>The project was started by Mahesha HS (then at AMD), who created initial patch. After that, it was carried out by several Intel engineers; Alexey Bataev did most of the coding. Hal Finkel, Dmitry Gribenko and Doug Gregor contributed a lot with code reviews.<br>
<br>OpenMP in an evolving standard; thus, there is always something still left to be done, and your contributions (of any kind -- patches, code reviews, testing, bug reports) are very much welcome!<br><br>Yours,<br>Andrey Bokhanko<br>
