Enabling OpenMP* in your Build Environment

OpenMP* is supported by certain versions of the Microsoft Visual C++* compiler, the GNU* compilers, and the Intel compilers:

• Most recent versions of the Microsoft Visual C++* compiler include OpenMP support.

• Certain editions of the Intel® Parallel Studio XE software suite includes the Intel® C++ Compiler and the Intel® Fortran Compiler, which supports the TASK feature introduced with OpenMP 3.0.

For information about OpenMP support for the GNU compilers, see your compiler help or the appropriate man page, such as gcc(1).

To enable OpenMP on the command line, specify the appropriate compiler option (see your compiler documentation), such as the -openmp option when using the Intel compilers.
