OpenMP
The
OpenMP Application Program Interface API supports multi-platform Shared memory
Multiprocessing programming for in
C/
C++ and
Fortran on many architectures, including
Unix platforms and
Windows platforms.
Jointly defined by a group of major computer hardware and software vendors, OpenMP is a portable, scalable model that gives programmers a simple and flexible interface for developing parallel applications for platforms ranging from the desktop to the supercomputer.
Often a so-called mixed-mode parallel programming, using both OpenMP and MPI (Message Passing Interface), is used for programming Computer clusters.
