13 Nov 2017 Denver - The OpenMP Architecture Review Board (ARB) has released Technical Report 6, the second preview for the future OpenMP API, version 5.0.
"Technical Report 6 demonstrates the importance of user feedback to the OpenMP specification", stated Bronis R. de Supinski, the Chair of the OpenMP Language Committee. "Users have indicated that several features are vitally important to them, such as multilevel memory support, deep copy, easy access to unified shared memory and a descriptive loop construct. As a result of that feedback, OpenMP 5.0 will include all of these major additions."
Technical Report 6 (TR6) extends Technical Report 4 (TR4), the previous preview of OpenMP 5.0 that was released one year ago. The key features that are added in TR6 include:
TR6 also improves several features added in TR4 such as OMPT and task reductions.
TR6 is an important milestone on the path to OpenMP 5.0. Users and implementers are encouraged to provide feedback on the proposed API. Feedback can be posted on the OpenMP Forum .
"This technical report provides a preview for the OpenMP community, our users, and the implementers to comment on the features planned for OpenMP 5.0", stated Michael Klemm, CEO of the OpenMP ARB. "Version 5.0 will be released in November 2018 and will be a major leap forward to ready the OpenMP programming model for exascale computing."
