@cindex Introduction
This manual documents the usage of libgomp, the GNU Offloading and
Multi Processing Runtime Library. This includes the GNU
implementation of the @uref{https://www.openmp.org, OpenMP} Application
Programming Interface (API) for multi-platform shared-memory parallel
programming in C/C++ and Fortran, and the GNU implementation of the
@uref{https://www.openacc.org, OpenACC} Application Programming
Interface (API) for offloading of code to accelerator devices in C/C++
and Fortran.
Originally, libgomp implemented the GNU OpenMP Runtime Library. Based
on this, support for OpenACC and offloading (both OpenACC and OpenMP
4's target construct) has been added later on, and the library's name
changed to GNU Offloading and Multi Processing Runtime Library.

@chapter Enabling OpenMP
To activate the OpenMP extensions for C/C++ and Fortran, the compile-time
flag @command{-fopenmp} must be specified. This enables the OpenMP directive
@code{#pragma omp} in C/C++ and @code{!$omp} directives in free form,
@code{c$omp}, @code{*$omp} and @code{!$omp} directives in fixed form,
@code{!$} conditional compilation sentinels in free form and @code{c$},
@code{*$} and @code{!$} sentinels in fixed form, for Fortran. The flag also
arranges for automatic linking of the OpenMP runtime library
(@ref{Runtime Library Routines}).
A complete description of all OpenMP directives accepted may be found in
the @uref{https://www.openmp.org, OpenMP Application Program Interface} manual,
version 4.5.

values @code{MASTER}, @code{CLOSE} and @code{SPREAD} can be used to specify
the thread affinity policy for the corresponding nesting level. With
@code{MASTER} the worker threads are in the same place partition as the
master thread. With @code{CLOSE} those are kept close to the master thread
in contiguous place partitions. And with @code{SPREAD} a sparse distribution
across the place partitions is used.
When undefined, @env{OMP_PROC_BIND} defaults to @code{TRUE} when
@env{OMP_PLACES} or @env{GOMP_CPU_AFFINITY} is set and @code{FALSE} otherwise.

@node OMP_PLACES
@section @env{OMP_PLACES} -- Specifies on which CPUs the theads should be placed
@cindex Environment Variable
@table @asis
@item @emph{Description}:
The thread placement can be either specified using an abstract name or by an
explicit list of the places. The abstract names @code{threads}, @code{cores}
and @code{sockets} can be optionally followed by a positive number in
parentheses, which denotes the how many places shall be created. With
@code{threads} each place corresponds to a single hardware thread; @code{cores}
to a single core with the corresponding number of hardware threads; and with
@code{sockets} the place corresponds to a single socket. The resulting
placement can be shown by setting the @env{OMP_DISPLAY_ENV} environment
variable.
Alternatively, the placement can be specified explicitly as comma-separated
list of places. A place is specified by set of nonnegative numbers in curly
braces, denoting the denoting the hardware threads. The hardware threads
belonging to a place can either be specified as comma-separated list of
nonnegative thread numbers or using an interval. Multiple places can also be
either specified by a comma-separated list of places or by an interval. To
specify an interval, a colon followed by the count is placed after after
the hardware thread number or the place. Optionally, the length can be
followed by a colon and the stride number -- otherwise a unit stride is
assumed. For instance, the following specifies the same places list:
@code{"@{0,1,2@}, @{3,4,6@}, @{7,8,9@}, @{10,11,12@}"};
@code{"@{0:3@}, @{3:3@}, @{7:3@}, @{10:3@}"}; and @code{"@{0:2@}:4:3"}.
If @env{OMP_PLACES} and @env{GOMP_CPU_AFFINITY} are unset and
@env{OMP_PROC_BIND} is either unset or @code{false}, threads may be moved
between CPUs following no placement policy.

@node GOMP_CPU_AFFINITY
@section @env{GOMP_CPU_AFFINITY} -- Bind threads to specific CPUs
@cindex Environment Variable
@table @asis
@item @emph{Description}:
Binds threads to specific CPUs. The variable should contain a space-separated
or comma-separated list of CPUs. This list may contain different kinds of
entries: either single CPU numbers in any order, a range of CPUs (M-N)
or a range with some stride (M-N:S). CPU numbers are zero based. For example,
@code{GOMP_CPU_AFFINITY="0 3 1-2 4-15:2"} will bind the initial thread
to CPU 0, the second to CPU 3, the third to CPU 1, the fourth to
CPU 2, the fifth to CPU 4, the sixth through tenth to CPUs 6, 8, 10, 12,
and 14 respectively and then start assigning back from the beginning of
the list. @code{GOMP_CPU_AFFINITY=0} binds all threads to CPU 0.
There is no libgomp library routine to determine whether a CPU affinity
specification is in effect. As a workaround, language-specific library
functions, e.g., @code{getenv} in C or @code{GET_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE} in
Fortran, may be used to query the setting of the @code{GOMP_CPU_AFFINITY}
environment variable. A defined CPU affinity on startup cannot be changed
or disabled during the runtime of the application.
If both @env{GOMP_CPU_AFFINITY} and @env{OMP_PROC_BIND} are set,
@env{OMP_PROC_BIND} has a higher precedence. If neither has been set and
@env{OMP_PROC_BIND} is unset, or when @env{OMP_PROC_BIND} is set to
@code{FALSE}, the host system will handle the assignment of threads to CPUs.

@item @emph{Description}:
Determines how long a threads waits actively with consuming CPU power
before waiting passively without consuming CPU power. The value may be
either @code{INFINITE}, @code{INFINITY} to always wait actively or an
integer which gives the number of spins of the busy-wait loop. The
integer may optionally be followed by the following suffixes acting
as multiplication factors: @code{k} (kilo, thousand), @code{M} (mega,
million), @code{G} (giga, billion), or @code{T} (tera, trillion).
If undefined, 0 is used when @env{OMP_WAIT_POLICY} is @code{PASSIVE},
300,000 is used when @env{OMP_WAIT_POLICY} is undefined and
30 billion is used when @env{OMP_WAIT_POLICY} is @code{ACTIVE}.
If there are more OpenMP threads than available CPUs, 1000 and 100

@node GOMP_RTEMS_THREAD_POOLS
@section @env{GOMP_RTEMS_THREAD_POOLS} -- Set the RTEMS specific thread pools
@cindex Environment Variable
@cindex Implementation specific setting
@table @asis
@item @emph{Description}:
This environment variable is only used on the RTEMS real-time operating system.
It determines the scheduler instance specific thread pools. The format for
@env{GOMP_RTEMS_THREAD_POOLS} is a list of optional
@code{<thread-pool-count>[$<priority>]@@<scheduler-name>} configurations
separated by @code{:} where:
@itemize @bullet
@item @code{<thread-pool-count>} is the thread pool count for this scheduler
instance.
@item @code{$<priority>} is an optional priority for the worker threads of a
thread pool according to @code{pthread_setschedparam}. In case a priority
value is omitted, then a worker thread will inherit the priority of the OpenMP
master thread that created it. The priority of the worker thread is not
changed after creation, even if a new OpenMP master thread using the worker has
a different priority.
@item @code{@@<scheduler-name>} is the scheduler instance name according to the
RTEMS application configuration.
@end itemize
In case no thread pool configuration is specified for a scheduler instance,
then each OpenMP master thread of this scheduler instance will use its own
dynamically allocated thread pool. To limit the worker thread count of the
thread pools, each OpenMP master thread must call @code{omp_set_num_threads}.
@item @emph{Example}:
Lets suppose we have three scheduler instances @code{IO}, @code{WRK0}, and
@code{WRK1} with @env{GOMP_RTEMS_THREAD_POOLS} set to
@code{"1@@WRK0:3$4@@WRK1"}. Then there are no thread pool restrictions for
scheduler instance @code{IO}. In the scheduler instance @code{WRK0} there is
one thread pool available. Since no priority is specified for this scheduler
instance, the worker thread inherits the priority of the OpenMP master thread
that created it. In the scheduler instance @code{WRK1} there are three thread
pools available and their worker threads run at priority four.

@node CUDA Streams Usage
@chapter CUDA Streams Usage
This applies to the @code{nvptx} plugin only.
The library provides elements that perform asynchronous movement of
data and asynchronous operation of computing constructs. This
asynchronous functionality is implemented by making use of CUDA
streams@footnote{See "Stream Management" in "CUDA Driver API",
TRM-06703-001, Version 5.5, for additional information}.
The primary means by that the asychronous functionality is accessed
is through the use of those OpenACC directives which make use of the
@code{async} and @code{wait} clauses. When the @code{async} clause is
first used with a directive, it creates a CUDA stream. If an
@code{async-argument} is used with the @code{async} clause, then the
stream is associated with the specified @code{async-argument}.
Following the creation of an association between a CUDA stream and the
@code{async-argument} of an @code{async} clause, both the @code{wait}
clause and the @code{wait} directive can be used. When either the
clause or directive is used after stream creation, it creates a
rendezvous point whereby execution waits until all operations
associated with the @code{async-argument}, that is, stream, have
completed.
Normally, the management of the streams that are created as a result of
using the @code{async} clause, is done without any intervention by the
caller. This implies the association between the @code{async-argument}
and the CUDA stream will be maintained for the lifetime of the program.
However, this association can be changed through the use of the library
function @code{acc_set_cuda_stream}. When the function
@code{acc_set_cuda_stream} is called, the CUDA stream that was
originally associated with the @code{async} clause will be destroyed.
Caution should be taken when changing the association as subsequent
references to the @code{async-argument} refer to a different
CUDA stream.

@chapter OpenACC Library Interoperability
@section Introduction
The OpenACC library uses the CUDA Driver API, and may interact with
programs that use the Runtime library directly, or another library
based on the Runtime library, e.g., CUBLAS@footnote{See section 2.26,
"Interactions with the CUDA Driver API" in
"CUDA Runtime API", Version 5.5, and section 2.27, "VDPAU
Interoperability", in "CUDA Driver API", TRM-06703-001, Version 5.5,
for additional information on library interoperability.}.
This chapter describes the use cases and what changes are
required in order to use both the OpenACC library and the CUBLAS and Runtime
libraries within a program.
@section First invocation: NVIDIA CUBLAS library API
In this first use case (see below), a function in the CUBLAS library is called
prior to any of the functions in the OpenACC library. More specifically, the
function @code{cublasCreate()}.
When invoked, the function initializes the library and allocates the
hardware resources on the host and the device on behalf of the caller. Once
the initialization and allocation has completed, a handle is returned to the
caller. The OpenACC library also requires initialization and allocation of
hardware resources. Since the CUBLAS library has already allocated the
hardware resources for the device, all that is left to do is to initialize
the OpenACC library and acquire the hardware resources on the host.
Prior to calling the OpenACC function that initializes the library and
allocate the host hardware resources, you need to acquire the device number
that was allocated during the call to @code{cublasCreate()}. The invoking of the
runtime library function @code{cudaGetDevice()} accomplishes this. Once
acquired, the device number is passed along with the device type as
parameters to the OpenACC library function @code{acc_set_device_num()}.
Once the call to @code{acc_set_device_num()} has completed, the OpenACC
library uses the context that was created during the call to
@code{cublasCreate()}. In other words, both libraries will be sharing the
same context.

@center Use Case 1
@section First invocation: OpenACC library API
In this second use case (see below), a function in the OpenACC library is
called prior to any of the functions in the CUBLAS library. More specificially,
the function @code{acc_set_device_num()}.
In the use case presented here, the function @code{acc_set_device_num()}
is used to both initialize the OpenACC library and allocate the hardware
resources on the host and the device. In the call to the function, the
call parameters specify which device to use and what device
type to use, i.e., @code{acc_device_nvidia}. It should be noted that this
is but one method to initialize the OpenACC library and allocate the
appropriate hardware resources. Other methods are available through the
use of environment variables and these will be discussed in the next section.
Once the call to @code{acc_set_device_num()} has completed, other OpenACC
functions can be called as seen with multiple calls being made to
@code{acc_copyin()}. In addition, calls can be made to functions in the
CUBLAS library. In the use case a call to @code{cublasCreate()} is made
subsequent to the calls to @code{acc_copyin()}.
As seen in the previous use case, a call to @code{cublasCreate()}
initializes the CUBLAS library and allocates the hardware resources on the
host and the device. However, since the device has already been allocated,
@code{cublasCreate()} will only initialize the CUBLAS library and allocate
the appropriate hardware resources on the host. The context that was created
as part of the OpenACC initialization is shared with the CUBLAS library,
similarly to the first use case.
@smallexample
dev = 0;
acc_set_device_num(dev, acc_device_nvidia);
/* Copy the first set to the device */
d_X = acc_copyin(&h_X[0], N * sizeof (float));
if (d_X == NULL)
@{
fprintf(stderr, "copyin error h_X\n");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
@}
/* Copy the second set to the device */
d_Y = acc_copyin(&h_Y1[0], N * sizeof (float));
if (d_Y == NULL)
@{
fprintf(stderr, "copyin error h_Y1\n");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
@}
/* Create the handle */
s = cublasCreate(&h);
if (s != CUBLAS_STATUS_SUCCESS)
@{
fprintf(stderr, "cublasCreate failed %d\n", s);
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
@}
/* Perform saxpy using CUBLAS library function */
s = cublasSaxpy(h, N, &alpha, d_X, 1, d_Y, 1);
if (s != CUBLAS_STATUS_SUCCESS)
@{
fprintf(stderr, "cublasSaxpy failed %d\n", s);
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
@}
/* Copy the results from the device */
acc_memcpy_from_device(&h_Y1[0], d_Y, N * sizeof (float));
@end smallexample
@center Use Case 2
@section OpenACC library and environment variables
There are two environment variables associated with the OpenACC library
that may be used to control the device type and device number:
@env{ACC_DEVICE_TYPE} and @env{ACC_DEVICE_NUM}, respecively. These two
environement variables can be used as an alternative to calling
@code{acc_set_device_num()}. As seen in the second use case, the device
type and device number were specified using @code{acc_set_device_num()}.
If however, the aforementioned environment variables were set, then the
call to @code{acc_set_device_num()} would not be required.
The use of the environment variables is only relevant when an OpenACC function
is called prior to a call to @code{cudaCreate()}. If @code{cudaCreate()}
is called prior to a call to an OpenACC function, then you must call
@code{acc_set_device_num()}@footnote{More complete information
about @env{ACC_DEVICE_TYPE} and @env{ACC_DEVICE_NUM} can be found in
sections 4.1 and 4.2 of the @uref{https://www.openacc.org, OpenACC}
Application Programming Interface”, Version 2.0.}

@node Implementing MASTER construct
@section Implementing MASTER construct
@smallexample
if (omp_get_thread_num () == 0)
block
@end smallexample
Alternately, we generate two copies of the parallel subfunction
and only include this in the version run by the master thread.
Surely this is not worthwhile though...
@node Implementing CRITICAL construct
@section Implementing CRITICAL construct
Without a specified name,
@smallexample
void GOMP_critical_start (void);
void GOMP_critical_end (void);
@end smallexample
so that we don't get COPY relocations from libgomp to the main
application.
With a specified name, use omp_set_lock and omp_unset_lock with
name being transformed into a variable declared like
@smallexample
omp_lock_t gomp_critical_user_<name> __attribute__((common))
@end smallexample
Ideally the ABI would specify that all zero is a valid unlocked
state, and so we wouldn't need to initialize this at
startup.
@node Implementing ATOMIC construct
@section Implementing ATOMIC construct
The target should implement the @code{__sync} builtins.
Failing that we could add
@smallexample
void GOMP_atomic_enter (void)
void GOMP_atomic_exit (void)
@end smallexample
which reuses the regular lock code, but with yet another lock
object private to the library.
@node Implementing FLUSH construct
@section Implementing FLUSH construct
Expands to the @code{__sync_synchronize} builtin.
@node Implementing BARRIER construct
@section Implementing BARRIER construct
@smallexample
void GOMP_barrier (void)
@end smallexample
@node Implementing THREADPRIVATE construct
@section Implementing THREADPRIVATE construct
In _most_ cases we can map this directly to @code{__thread}. Except
that OMP allows constructors for C++ objects. We can either
refuse to support this (how often is it used?) or we can
implement something akin to .ctors.
Even more ideally, this ctor feature is handled by extensions
to the main pthreads library. Failing that, we can have a set
of entry points to register ctor functions to be called.
@node Implementing PRIVATE clause
@section Implementing PRIVATE clause
In association with a PARALLEL, or within the lexical extent
of a PARALLEL block, the variable becomes a local variable in
the parallel subfunction.
In association with FOR or SECTIONS blocks, create a new
automatic variable within the current function. This preserves
the semantic of new variable creation.
@node Implementing FIRSTPRIVATE LASTPRIVATE COPYIN and COPYPRIVATE clauses
@section Implementing FIRSTPRIVATE LASTPRIVATE COPYIN and COPYPRIVATE clauses
This seems simple enough for PARALLEL blocks. Create a private
struct for communicating between the parent and subfunction.
In the parent, copy in values for scalar and "small" structs;
copy in addresses for others TREE_ADDRESSABLE types. In the
subfunction, copy the value into the local variable.
It is not clear what to do with bare FOR or SECTION blocks.
The only thing I can figure is that we do something like:
@smallexample
#pragma omp for firstprivate(x) lastprivate(y)
for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i)
body;
@end smallexample
which becomes
@smallexample
@{
int x = x, y;
// for stuff
if (i == n)
y = y;
@}
@end smallexample
where the "x=x" and "y=y" assignments actually have different
uids for the two variables, i.e. not something you could write
directly in C. Presumably this only makes sense if the "outer"
x and y are global variables.
COPYPRIVATE would work the same way, except the structure
broadcast would have to happen via SINGLE machinery instead.
@node Implementing REDUCTION clause
@section Implementing REDUCTION clause
The private struct mentioned in the previous section should have
a pointer to an array of the type of the variable, indexed by the
thread's @var{team_id}. The thread stores its final value into the
array, and after the barrier, the master thread iterates over the
array to collect the values.
@node Implementing PARALLEL construct
@section Implementing PARALLEL construct
@smallexample
#pragma omp parallel
@{
body;
@}
@end smallexample
becomes
@smallexample
void subfunction (void *data)
@{
use data;
body;
@}
setup data;
GOMP_parallel_start (subfunction, &data, num_threads);
subfunction (&data);
GOMP_parallel_end ();
@end smallexample
@smallexample
void GOMP_parallel_start (void (*fn)(void *), void *data, unsigned num_threads)
@end smallexample
The @var{FN} argument is the subfunction to be run in parallel.
The @var{DATA} argument is a pointer to a structure used to
communicate data in and out of the subfunction, as discussed
above with respect to FIRSTPRIVATE et al.
The @var{NUM_THREADS} argument is 1 if an IF clause is present
and false, or the value of the NUM_THREADS clause, if
present, or 0.
The function needs to create the appropriate number of
threads and/or launch them from the dock. It needs to
create the team structure and assign team ids.
@smallexample
void GOMP_parallel_end (void)
@end smallexample
Tears down the team and returns us to the previous @code{omp_in_parallel()} state.
@node Implementing FOR construct
@section Implementing FOR construct
@smallexample
#pragma omp parallel for
for (i = lb; i <= ub; i++)
body;
@end smallexample
becomes
@smallexample
void subfunction (void *data)
@{
long _s0, _e0;
while (GOMP_loop_static_next (&_s0, &_e0))
@{
long _e1 = _e0, i;
for (i = _s0; i < _e1; i++)
body;
@}
GOMP_loop_end_nowait ();
@}
GOMP_parallel_loop_static (subfunction, NULL, 0, lb, ub+1, 1, 0);
subfunction (NULL);
GOMP_parallel_end ();
@end smallexample
@smallexample
#pragma omp for schedule(runtime)
for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
body;
@end smallexample
becomes
@smallexample
@{
long i, _s0, _e0;
if (GOMP_loop_runtime_start (0, n, 1, &_s0, &_e0))
do @{
long _e1 = _e0;
for (i = _s0, i < _e0; i++)
body;
@} while (GOMP_loop_runtime_next (&_s0, _&e0));
GOMP_loop_end ();
@}
@end smallexample
Note that while it looks like there is trickiness to propagating
a non-constant STEP, there isn't really. We're explicitly allowed
to evaluate it as many times as we want, and any variables involved
should automatically be handled as PRIVATE or SHARED like any other
variables. So the expression should remain evaluable in the
subfunction. We can also pull it into a local variable if we like,
but since its supposed to remain unchanged, we can also not if we like.
If we have SCHEDULE(STATIC), and no ORDERED, then we ought to be
able to get away with no work-sharing context at all, since we can
simply perform the arithmetic directly in each thread to divide up
the iterations. Which would mean that we wouldn't need to call any
of these routines.
There are separate routines for handling loops with an ORDERED
clause. Bookkeeping for that is non-trivial...
