Provides links to functions used in the OpenMP API.

The Visual C++ implementation of the OpenMP standard includes the following functions and data types.

For environment execution:

Function	Description
omp_set_num_threads	Sets the number of threads in upcoming parallel regions, unless overridden by a num_threads clause.
omp_get_num_threads	Returns the number of threads in the parallel region.
omp_get_max_threads	Returns an integer that is equal to or greater than the number of threads that would be available if a parallel region without num_threads were defined at that point in the code.
omp_get_thread_num	Returns the thread number of the thread executing within its thread team.
omp_get_num_procs	Returns the number of processors that are available when the function is called.
omp_in_parallel	Returns nonzero if called from within a parallel region.
omp_set_dynamic	Indicates that the number of threads available in upcoming parallel regions can be adjusted by the run time.
omp_get_dynamic	Returns a value that indicates if the number of threads available in upcoming parallel regions can be adjusted by the run time.
omp_set_nested	Enables nested parallelism.
omp_get_nested	Returns a value that indicates if nested parallelism is enabled.

For lock:

Function	Description
omp_init_lock	Initializes a simple lock.
omp_init_nest_lock	Initializes a lock.
omp_destroy_lock	Uninitializes a lock.
omp_destroy_nest_lock	Uninitializes a nestable lock.

omp_set_dynamic

Indicates that the number of threads available in upcoming parallel regions can be adjusted by the run time.

void omp_set_dynamic(
   int val
);

Parameters

val
A value that indicates if the number of threads available in upcoming parallel regions can be adjusted by the runtime. If nonzero, the runtime can adjust the number of threads, if zero, the runtime won't dynamically adjust the number of threads.

Remarks

The number of threads will never exceed the value set by omp_set_num_threads or by OMP_NUM_THREADS.

Use omp_get_dynamic to display the current setting of omp_set_dynamic.

The setting for omp_set_dynamic will override the setting of the OMP_DYNAMIC environment variable.

For more information, see 3.1.7 omp_set_dynamic function.

Example

// omp_set_dynamic.cpp
// compile with: /openmp
#include <stdio.h>
#include <omp.h>

int main()
{
    omp_set_dynamic(9);
    omp_set_num_threads(4);
    printf_s("%d\n", omp_get_dynamic( ));
    #pragma omp parallel
        #pragma omp master
        {
            printf_s("%d\n", omp_get_dynamic( ));
        }
}

omp_set_lock

Blocks thread execution until a lock is available.

void omp_set_lock(
   omp_lock_t *lock
);

Parameters

lock
A variable of type omp_lock_t that was initialized with omp_init_lock.

Remarks

For more information, see 3.2.3 omp_set_lock and omp_set_nest_lock functions.

Examples

See omp_init_lock for an example of using omp_set_lock.

omp_set_nest_lock

Blocks thread execution until a lock is available.

void omp_set_nest_lock(
   omp_nest_lock_t *lock
);

Parameters

lock
A variable of type omp_nest_lock_t that was initialized with omp_init_nest_lock.

Remarks

For more information, see 3.2.3 omp_set_lock and omp_set_nest_lock functions.

Examples

See omp_init_nest_lock for an example of using omp_set_nest_lock.

omp_set_nested

Enables nested parallelism.

void omp_set_nested(
   int val
);

Parameters

val
A nonzero value enables nested parallelism, while zero disables nested parallelism.

Remarks

OMP nested parallelism can be turned on with omp_set_nested, or by setting the OMP_NESTED environment variable.

The setting for omp_set_nested will override the setting of the OMP_NESTED environment variable.

Enabling the environment variable can break an otherwise operational program, because the number of threads increases exponentially when nesting parallel regions. For example, a function that recurses six times with the number of OMP threads set to 4 requires 4,096 (4 to the power of 6) threads. Except with I/O-bound applications, the performance of an application generally degrades if there are more threads than processors.

Use omp_get_nested to display the current setting of omp_set_nested.

For more information, see 3.1.9 omp_set_nested function.

Example

// omp_set_nested.cpp
// compile with: /openmp
#include <stdio.h>
#include <omp.h>

int main( )
{
    omp_set_nested(1);
    omp_set_num_threads(4);
    printf_s("%d\n", omp_get_nested( ));
    #pragma omp parallel
        #pragma omp master
        {
            printf_s("%d\n", omp_get_nested( ));
        }
}

Remarks

For more information, see 3.1.1 omp_set_num_threads function.
