Hi,
I was wondering whether there are any plans for the parallelization of
GSL?
For example, I found this article on "Parallelization of GSL:
Architecture, Interfaces, and Programming Models" form 2004:
https://commerce.metapress.com/content/jtp50vjc1e3gwane/resource-secured/?target=fulltext.pdf&sid=medqeqrui2yyng45okahx345&sh=www.springerlink.com
I also found a message by Brian Gough from 2002 stating that it would
not fit the design of GSL (Message-ID:
<15656.48877.30970.694792@debian>).
Would there be any objections if one started to a few include OpenMP
directives in the code? They would not at all interfere with normal
usage of GSL in single-threaded calculations. If they should even be
optional for the use of GSL in OpenMP calculations, they could be
flagged by a run-time or compile-time (preferred for performance)
switch.
Thoughts?
Greetings,
Jochen
