I'm new to OpenMP. I wonder
if there are any special considerations
when running OpenMP on FreeBSD?
For example, I have this OMP parallelised
fortran program, nested do loops, compiled
with gfortran46. When I run it with 2 threads
on a 2-cpu box, I see in top(1):
PID UID PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE C TIME CPU COMMAND
63995 1001 89 0 57048K 34272K CPU1 1 1:06 55.08% dummy.sx{dummy.sx}
63995 1001 87 0 57048K 34272K RUN 1 1:02 52.39% dummy.sx{dummy.sx}
11 0 155 ki31 0K 32K RUN 0 376:58 51.46% idle{idle: cpu0}
11 0 155 ki31 0K 32K RUN 1 368:18 45.36% idle{idle: cpu1}
I wonder why, even after a minute of run time,
I still have nearly a whole cpu idle?
As a result the run time with 2 threads
is nearly identical to run time with 1 thread.
It's likely that I'm not using OMP correctly,
but I wanted to check if there are any
special FreeBSD related issues to bear
in mind when coding with OMP.
Thanks
