The OpenMP® Application Program Interface (API) standardizes directive-based multi-language high-level parallelism that is performant, productive, and portable.
The OpenMP API supports parallel programming in C, C++, and Fortran on a range of platforms. It is jointly defined by a group of major computer hardware vendors, software vendors, software developers, and the OpenMP community. The OpenMP API provides a portable, scalable programming model that gives parallel programmers a simple and flexible interface for developing parallel applications for platforms ranging from shared-memory and multicore systems to embedded systems and coprocessor/accelerator devices.
The OpenMP ARB is the non-profit corporation that owns the OpenMP API, maintains existing specifications, and produces new versions. The ARB helps to promote the OpenMP API and to organize and fund conferences, workshops, tutorials, and other related events.
