   <h1>OpenMP&reg;: Support for the OpenMP language</h1>
   <!--*********************************************************************-->

   <p>The OpenMP subproject of LLVM is intended to contain all of the
      components required to build an executing OpenMP program that are
      outside the compiler itself. Support for OpenMP 3.1 in Clang is in the
      process of being promoted into the Clang mainline, and can be
      found at <a href="http://clang-omp.github.io/">OpenMP/Clang</a>.
   </p>

   <p>Here you can find :-
     <ul>
       <li>
         the code for the runtime library against which
         code compiled by the OpenMP/Clang compiler must be linked before it
         can run. This code is also available
         at <a href="http://openmprtl.org/">openmprtl.org</a>; we intend to
         keep the different sites in sync.
       </li>
       <li>
         the library that supports offload to target devices (in
         "offload")
       </li>
       <li>
         the OpenUH test-suite which is being integrated.
       </li>
     </ul>
   </p>

   <p>Support for the parts of the OpenMP 4.0 language that are not
   associated with the "target" constructs are contained in the
   "runtime" directory. Support for offloading computation via the
   "target" directive is in the separate "offload" directory. That
   builds a library that provides the interfaces for transferring code
   and data to an attached computational device. Initial support here
   is for the Intel&reg Xeon Phi&#0153 coprocessor, but work is
   beginning to support other attached computing devices, and the
   design is intended to be general. The README.txt in the "offload"
   directory describes how to build the offload library.
   </p>

   <p>All of the code here is <a
      href="http://llvm.org/docs/DeveloperPolicy.html#license">dual licensed</a>
      under the MIT license and the UIUC License (a BSD-like license).
      The LICENSE.txt file at the top of the OpenMP project contains
      the license text and associated patent grants.
   </p>

   <!--=====================================================================-->
   <h2 id="goals">Features and Goals</h2>
   <!--=====================================================================-->

     <ul>
         <li>Correctness as defined by the
           <a href="http://www.openmp.org/mp-documents/OpenMP3.1.pdf">OpenMP
           3.1 standard (PDF)</a> now, and <a href="http://www.openmp.org/mp-documents/OpenMP4.0.0.pdf">OpenMP
           4.0 standard (PDF)</a> in the future.</li>
         <li>High performance.</li>
         <li>ABI compatibility with <a href="http://gcc.gnu.org">Gcc</a> and
         <a href="http://software.intel.com/en-us/intel-compilers">Intel's
         existing OpenMP compilers.</a>
         With this release we have restored compatibility with OpenMP
         3.1 code compiled by gcc 4.9, however we do not have support
         for OpenMP 4.0 code that uses task cancellation when compiled
         by gcc 4.9. How we will support such code remains a research issue.
         </li>
     </ul>

   <!--=====================================================================-->
   <h2 id="why">Why have the runtime code here?</h2>
   <!--=====================================================================-->

   <p>It makes sense to have the runtime sources in the same place
     (and with the same license) as the compiler.
   </p>

   <!--=====================================================================-->
   <h2 id="requirements">Platform Support</h2>
   <!--=====================================================================-->

   <p>The OpenMP runtime is known to work on
     <ul>
       <li>ARM&reg;&nbsp; architecture processors</li>
       <li>PowerPC&trade;&nbsp; processors</li>
       <li>32 and 64 bit X86
         processors when compiled with clang, with the Intel compiler
         or with gcc, and also the Intel&reg;&nbsp;Xeon Phi&trade; product family, when compiled with
         the Intel compiler.
       </li>
     </ul>
     Ports to other architectures and operating systems are welcome.
   </p>

   <p>A full OS and archiecture compatibility matrix is in
     <a href="README.txt">README.txt</a>
   </p>


   <!--=====================================================================-->
   <h2 id="dir-structure">Status</h2>
   <!--=====================================================================-->

    <p>The runtime can be built with gcc, icc or clang. However, note
    that a runtime built with clang cannot be guaranteed to work with
    OpenMP code compiled by the other compilers, since clang does not support
    a 128-bit float type, and cannot therefore generate the code used
    for reductions of that type (which may occur in user code compiled
    by the other compilers).
    </p>

    <p>The University of Houston has kindly contributed their test
    suite (in the "testsuite" directory). Integration and use of this
    for automatic testing is in progress.
    </p>

   <!--=====================================================================-->
   <h2>Get it and get involved!</h2>
   <!--=====================================================================-->

   <p>First please review our
      <a href="http://llvm.org/docs/DeveloperPolicy.html">Developer's Policy</a>.

   <p>To check out the code, use:</p>

   <ul>
   <li><code>svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/openmp/trunk openmp</code></li>
   </ul>

   <p>
      Next:
   </p>

   <ul>
     <li><code>cd openmp/runtime</code></li>
     <li><code>make compiler=gcc</code></li>
   </ul>

   <p>Full details of how to build are in the
     <a href="README.txt">README.txt</a>
     which also describes a CMake based build system which may be more
     convenient on some platforms and for porting to new platforms than
     the make and Perl based system.
