Forgive and delete if this is an inappropriate thread but this seems to be a place to commune as I learn to use OpenMP.
I just started to read the book and it seems rather good. Perhaps I will glean what I need as I go since I program in C as my hobby.
Anyway, I am here and I will check back here to see if there are others learning too.
The examples have been downloaded and I successfully compiled the chapter3 so that is a start.
Okay then, feel free to chat with me on OpenMP if that is allowed.
------------------------------
Currently I am pondering using threads to each call an instance of a function with an integer that is incremented in the parallel region.
This seems to be a reasonable place to start to me and what I believe will be the program structure.
I assume a shared integer incremented or a for loop can provide an instance of value a thread can take with it into its instance of that function.
I assume that each thread will have a copy of that function all to itself. Seems like a good way to increase work done.
To ask a question. Is that reasonable usage? I do have more to read but I'll toss that out for conversation.
