Supported OpenMP* Pragmas

This is a summary of the OpenMP* pragmas supported in the Intel® oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler. For detailed information about the OpenMP API, see the OpenMP Application Program Interface Version 5.1 specification, which is available from the OpenMP web site.

This topic has an alphabetical list of supported OpenMP pragmas and after that list, it shows categories for the supported OpenMP pragmas.

Alphabetical List of Supported OpenMP* Pragmas

The Intel oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler currently supports OpenMP* 5.0 Version TR4, and some OpenMP Version 5.1 pragmas. Supported pragmas are listed below. For more information about these pragmas, reference the OpenMP* Version 5.1 specification.

Intel-specific clauses, if any, are noted in the affected pragma description.

Pragma

Description

omp allocate

Specifies memory allocators to use for object allocation and deallocation.

omp atomic

Specifies a computation that must be executed atomically.

omp barrier

Specifies a point in the code where each thread must wait until all threads in the team arrive.

omp cancel

Requests cancellation of the innermost enclosing region of the type specified, and causes the encountering task to proceed to the end of the cancelled construct.

omp cancellation point

Defines a point at which implicit or explicit tasks check to see if cancellation has been requested for the innermost enclosing region of the type specified. This construct does not implement a synchronization between threads or tasks.

omp critical

Specifies a code block that is restricted to access by only one thread at a time.

omp declare reduction

Declares user-defined reduction (UDR) functions (reduction identifiers) that can be used as reduction operators in a reduction clause.

omp declare simd

Creates a version of a function that can process multiple arguments using Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) instructions from a single invocation from a SIMD loop.

omp declare target

Specifies functions and variables that are created or mapped to a device.

omp declare variant

Identifies a variant of a base procedure and specifies the context in which this variant is used.

omp dispatch

Determines if a procedure variant is called for a given procedure.

omp distribute

Specifies that the iterations of one or more loops should be distributed among the initial threads of all thread teams in a league.

omp distribute parallel for

Specifies a loop that can be executed in parallel by multiple threads that are members of multiple teams.

omp distribute parallel for simd

Specifies a loop that will be executed in parallel by multiple threads that are members of multiple teams. It will be executed concurrently using SIMD instructions.

omp distribute simd

Specifies a loop that will be distributed across the primary threads of the teams region. It will be executed concurrently using SIMD instructions.

omp flush

Identifies a point at which a thread's temporary view of memory becomes consistent with the memory.

omp for

Specifies a work-sharing loop. Iterations of the loop are executed in parallel by the threads in the team.

omp for simd

Specifies that the iterations of the loop will be distributed across threads in the team. Iterations executed by each thread can also be executed concurrently using SIMD instructions.

omp interop

Identifies a foreign runtime context and identifies runtime characteristics of that context, enabling interoperability with it.

omp loop

Specifies that the iterations of the associated loops can execute in any order or concurrently.

omp masked

Specifies a structured block that is executed by a subset of the threads of the current team.

omp master (deprecated; see omp masked)

Specifies a code block that must be executed only once by the primary thread of the team.

omp ordered

Specifies a block of code that the threads in a team must execute in the natural order of the loop iterations, or as a stand-alone directive, specifies cross-iteration dependences in a doacross loop-nest.

The following clauses are available as Intel-specific extensions to the OpenMP* specification:

  • ompx_monotonic

    Specifies a block of code in which the value of the new list item on each iteration of the associated SIMD loop(s) corresponds to the value of the original list item before entering the associated loop, plus the number of the iterations for which the conditional update happens prior to the current iteration, times linear-step.

    The value corresponding to the sequentially last iteration of the associated loop(s) is assigned to the original list item. Use with the simd clause.

  • ompx_overlap

    Specifies a block of code that has to be executed scalar for overlapping inx values and parallel for different inx values within SIMD loop. Use with the simd clause.

omp parallel

Specifies that a structured block should be run in parallel by a team of threads.

omp parallel for

Provides an abbreviated way to specify a parallel region containing only a FOR construct.

omp parallel for simd

Specifies a parallel construct that contains one for simd construct and no other statement.

omp parallel sections

Specifies a parallel construct that contains only a sections construct.

omp requires

Lists the features that an implementation must support so that the program compiles and runs correctly.

omp scan

Specifies a scan computation that updates each list item in each iteration of an enclosing SIMD loop nest.

omp scope

Defines a structured block that is executed by all threads in a team but where additional OpenMP* operations can be specified.

omp sections

Defines a set of structured blocks that will be distributed among the threads in the team.

omp simd

Transforms the loop into a loop that will be executed concurrently using SIMD instructions.

The following clause is available as Intel-specific extensions tothe OpenMP* specification:

  • ompx_assert

    Specifies that the compiler generates an error message if the loop is not vectorized for any reason.

Combined and Composites

OpenMP* Pragmas

Use these pragmas as shortcuts for multiple pragmas in sequence.

Combined constructs: These are shortcuts for specifying one construct immediately nested inside another construct. This kind of construct is semantically identical to that of explicitly specifying the first construct containing one instance of the second construct and no other statements.

Composite construct: These constructs are composed of two constructs but they do not have identical semantics to specifying one of the constructs immediately nested inside the other. This kind of construct either adds semantics not included in the constructs from which it is composed or the nesting of the one construct inside the other is not conforming.
