[Gomp-discuss] Architecture

[Lars Segerlund]

  Is there any activity here ?

 I would like a to do a little call for action :-) , since there is an 
existing standard for omp for FORTRAN and C it might be nice get started 
 with a plan for the patches necessary for gcc to understand these 
extensions.

 I would like to suggest three things, first that we start from the 
tree-ssa branch, and extend the 'tree' with the common primitives 
necessary for pthread processing.

 Second that we extend the frontends to accept a minimum of the 
necessary directives.

 Third, that ge generate library or direct pthread calls depending on 
the current system in the backend.

 Also some model of the architecture is needed, shall we use a pthread 
pool ? and pthread reuse ? or how are we to progress ?

 The nice thing here is that the tree-nodes are really the place to do 
the processing on pthread level, and also that the frontends don't have 
to know so much about omp.

 Comments ? Lars Segerlund.
