Supplement to Chapter 3: Support for parallel-programming models. Discuss how DOACROSS, DOPIPE, DOALL, etc. are implemented in packages such as Posix threads, Intel Thread Building Blocks, OpenMP 2.0 and 3.0.

Parallel-programming models

Loop-independent vs. loop-carried dependences

Loop-independent

Loop-carried dependences

DOALL

for    i:=2:N-1 do A(i):=[A(i-1) + A(i) + A(i+1)]/3; next i;
forall i:=2:N-1 do A(i):=[A(i-1) + A(i) + A(i+1)]/3;
for (i=2; i<=n; i+=2)
 s: a[i] = a[i-2];
for (i=3; i<=n; i+=2)
 s: a[i] = a[i-2];

DOACROSS

for    i:=2:N-1 do A(i):=[A(i-1) + A(i) + A(i+1)]/3; next i;
forall i:=2:N-1 do A(i):=[A(i-1) + A(i) + A(i+1)]/3;
for (i=1; i<=N; i++) {
 S: a[i] = a[i-1] + b[i] * c[i];}
for (i=1; i<=N; i++) {
  S1: temp[i] = b[i] * c[i];}
for (i=1; i<=N; i++) {
  S2: a[i] = a[i-1] + temp[i];}
