Does anyone have any opinions of the credibility of the following?
The following free unsupported OpenMP pre-processors have been used with gcc:
http://phase.hpcc.jp/Omni/home.html
http://www.it.kth.se/labs/cs/odinmp
In addition, of course, there exist commercial compilers which attempt to
support OpenMP with some compatibility with gcc on specific architectures,
such as Intel compilers for IA. Supporting OpenMP on popular OS such as
linux and Windows has proven to be a more ambitious undertaking than was
originally believed. I understand that quite recent changes in the glibc
pthreads libraries, for example, have been required.
