There seems to be something in the air.
I had the same idea two weeks ago. Well, to be honest, I had the idea as I
heard of OpenMP 3 years ago, but now I want to finally do it.
I want to first write a tutorial for MPICH for FPC and then take a closer
look on OpenMP, to get used to it and find out it advantages and
disadvantages. We don't need to make the same errors as the C and Fortran
compilers.

Right. AFAIK OpenMP is only a standard for C/C++ and Fortran. It's not an
implementation.

As soon as I done some more OpenMP experiments and made up my mind, I will
join. :)
