Final Public Comment Draft of OpenMP Version 6 Released
OpenMP has announced the final public comment draft of version 6.0 of the OpenMP API. Version 6.0 will be released in November 2024, and users are encouraged to comment on the proposed API.
This draft, released as Technical Report 13, outlines key features forthcoming in version 6, such as:
- Improved tasking support.
- Extended loop transformations.
- Support to parallelize basic arithmetic operations and user-defined operations in loops that follow well-defined patterns.
- Enhanced device support.
- Improved support for C and C++.
“The final public comment draft includes several new features that significantly expand the ability to exploit available parallelism by refining the ability to specify OpenMP task dependencies and through significant extensions to OpenMP device offload support,” says Bronis R. de Supinski, Chair of the OpenMP Language Committee.
