Intel open sources OpenMP runtime
- shared4you 14y agoTried to compile with the Makefile they have, but it fails saying icc, ifort not found -- meaning they want this to work only with their own compiler. Is this intended or am I missing something?
- mpyne 14y agoGiven that it was just opensourced it's highly probably that it was developed only against Intel's own compiler. Those who want it to work with other compilers are now able to contribute code for that themselves, it's not Intel's responsibility to do that (though they certainly can if they wish).
- jlarocco 14y agoAccording to the README, gcc can be used by running "make compiler=gcc". But it also says it's only supported on Linux... It makes sense that they built it with their own compiler by default. In any case, I wonder if clang could use this to jump start its OpenMP support.
- rwbt 14y agoPlease Clang developers, we need OpenMP in Clang so bad!
- 65a 14y agoA lot of the FreeBSD ports that are stuck on GCC are stuck there because of OpenMP for sure, or at least lose performance on clang...OpenMP on clang would be nice indeed.
- jackinloadup 14y agoAs someone who isn't a compiler developer. What effect is this going to going to have?
- jensnockert 14y agoIf your code is using OpenMP, and this library is faster than your current OpenMP runtime, then using it might speed your code up a bit.
