+<title>GOMP --An OpenMP implementation for GCC</title>
+</head>
+
+<body>
+
+<h1>Welcome to the home of <b>GOMP</b></h1>
+
+<p>The GOMP project is developing an implementation of
+<a href="http://www.openmp.org";>OpenMP</a>
+for the C, C++, and <a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/fortran";>Fortran 95</a>
+compilers in the <a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/";>GNU Compiler Collection</a>.
+As part of the <a href="http://www.gnu.org/";>GNU Project</a>, GOMP will 
+simplify parallel programming for all GNU system variants. This effort operates
+in an open environment to attract developers and ensure applicability across
+multiple architectures and applications.</p>
+
+<p>Traditionally, programmers have used architecture-specific methods to 
+effectively program tightly-parallelized computers&mdash;high band-width clusters,
+SMP machines, or multi-core processors. Parallel programming has thus been a
+time-consuming and arcane task.
+</p>
+
+<p>OpenMP offers a simple way of exploiting parallelism without interfering with
+algorithm design; an OpenMP program compiles and operates correctly in both
+parallel and serial execution environments. Using OpenMP's directive-based
+parallelism also simplifies the act of converting existing serial code to efficient
+parallel code.</p>
+
+<h2>Project goal</h2>
+<p>To remain relevent, free software development tools must support emerging
+technologies. By implementing OpenMP, GOMP will provide a simplified syntax tools for
+creating software targeted at parallel architectures. OpenMP's platform-neutral syntax
+meshes well with the portability goals of GCC and other GNU projects.</p>
+
+<p>The GOMP release will include a support library, libGOMP, and extensions to target
+language parsers. The initial focus is on implementing the basic syntax of GOMP in the
+C, C++, and Fortran 95 frontends, to be followed by specific implementations for
+different platforms. A long-term goal is the generation of efficient and small code
+for OpenMP applications.</p>
+
+<h2>Contributing</h2>
+<p>We encourage everyone to <a href="../../contribute.html">contribute changes</a>
+and help test GOMP.  Gomp is currently developed on a separate GCC branch (gomp-branch, based
+on mainline), and will be integrated into GCC after its efficacy is proven.
+We provide read access to our development sources for everybody with
+<a href="../../cvs.html">anonymous CVS</a>.</p>
