Before You Add Parallelism: Choose a Parallel Framework

After you decide on parallel sites and tasks, select a parallel framework so you can replace Intel® Advisor annotations with parallel framework code .

The available high-level parallel frameworks depend on the language whose code you will add parallelism to:

• For C/C++ native code, there are several choices as explained in Overview of Parallel Frameworks

• For Fortran native code, use OpenMP.

If you are not familiar with high-level parallel frameworks, read Overview of Parallel Frameworks

To use a different framework, read Using Other Parallel Frameworks.
