Abstract
As automatic parallelization functions are different among compilers, a serial code is often modified so that a particular target compiler can easily understand its code structure and data dependency, resulting in effective automatic optimizations. However, these code modifications might not be effective for a different compiler because the different compiler cannot always parallelize the modified code. In this paper, in order to achieve effective parallelization on various HPC systems, compiler messages obtained from various compilers on different HPC systems are utilized for the OpenMP parallelization. Because the message about one system may be useful to identify key loop nests even for other systems, performance portable OpenMP parallelization can be achieved. This paper evaluates the performance of the compiler-assisted OpenMP codes using compiler messages from various compilers. The evaluation results clarified that, when a code is modified for its target compiler, the compiler message given by the target compiler is the most helpful to achieve appropriate OpenMP parallelization.
