Parallelization with OpenMP

OpenMP defines a collection of compiler directives, library routines, and environment variables that can be used to specify shared-memory parallelism in C, C++ and Fortran programs. This functionality collectively defines the specification of the OpenMP Application Program Interface (OpenMP API). This specification provides a model for parallel programming that is portable across shared memory architectures from different vendors. Compilers from numerous vendors support the OpenMP API.
