Hi, all, After I refer to the Intel paper titled "Threading Methodology : Principles and Practices" versin 2.0 published in 2003, I note the following message in the article mentioning:(from page 22, web site : http://cache-www.intel.com/cd/00/00/21/93/219349_threadingmethodology.pdf)
_____________________________________________________ OpenMP and thread libraries have mechanisms to create thread-local storage. Threads can safely access this storage without synchronization. Use the following declarations to create thread-local storage in different threading models: In OpenMP use threadprivate In Win32, use the TlsAlloc() function In Pthreads, use the pthread_key_create function __________________________________________________ >From the above description, I think that "gfortran with OpenMP" compiler can also implemented the TLS using Win32 threads or Pthreads. Please comment on the above implementation methods. Thanks.
