About:
libomp is the official runtime library implementation from the LLVM project for the OpenMP API. It enables the development of multi-platform, high-performance parallel applications in C, C++, and Fortran. This library provides the necessary threading support to execute parallel regions, manage threads, and handle synchronization efficiently.
Key Features:
  • Full support for the OpenMP 5.1 specification
  • Compatible with Clang, GCC, and MSVC compilers
  • Efficient thread management and tasking model
  • Supports heterogeneous offloading (e.g., to GPUs)
Use Cases:
  • Compiling scientific and engineering applications with parallel processing
  • Accelerating data-intensive computations on multi-core processors
  • Enabling offload capabilities for heterogeneous computing systems
Alternatives:
  • GOMP – The GNU OpenMP runtime, which is part of GCC and used when compiling with gcc/clang using the GNU toolchain.
  • Intel OpenMP Runtime (iomp5) – Intel's implementation, often used with Intel compilers (ICC/ICX) and optimized for Intel processors.
