OpenMP specialty is a parallelization of loops. The loop construct enables the parallelization. #pragma omp parallel for for (...) { ... } OpenMP then takes care about all the details of the parallelization. It creates a team of threads and distributes the iterations between the threads. In this article, we explore how OpenMP schedules the iterations between the threads and how can we change this behavior. First, we examine different ways to specify a scheduling type of a loop. Then, we describe five different scheduling types. Scheduling We describe how a programmer can determine a scheduling
