OpenMP Reaches Into The Parallel Universe Of GPUs
OpenMP is probably the most popular tool in the world to parallelize applications running on processors, but ironically it is not a product, but rather a specification that those who make compilers and middleware use to implement their own ways of parallelizing code to run on multicore processors and now, GPU accelerators. …
