Abstract

The purpose of this benchmark is to test the existence of certain optimization techniques in current OpenMP compilers. Examples are the removal of redundant synchronization constructs and effective constructs for alternative code. The effectiveness of the compiler generated code is measured by comparing different OpenMP constructs and compilers. If possible, we also compare with the hand coded “equivalent” solution.
