33 vendors and research organizations are
now collaborating to develop standard parallel programming
model
CEA has joined the OpenMP® ARB, a group of leading hardware and
software vendors and research organizations creating the standard
for the most popular shared-memory parallel programming model in
use today.
CEA is a prominent French government-funded research
organization and a key player in research, development and
innovation in four main areas: defense and security, low carbon
energies (nuclear and renewables), technological research for
industry, fundamental research in the physical sciences and life
sciences. It collaborates with academic institutions, industry
partners and international organizations to promote excellence,
scientific innovation and technological advancement.
“CEA is very pleased to join the OpenMP ARB. With our expertise,
we hope to contribute as much as possible to the evolution of the
standard for future generations of supercomputers, with a
particular emphasis on heterogeneous machines and portability,”
says Dr Adrien Roussel, HPC expert and CEA representative in the
OpenMP ARB.
“We welcome the addition of CEA to the OpenMP family,” says Dr
Michael Klemm, OpenMP ARB CEO. “Their history of innovation and
inventiveness will benefit the evolution of OpenMP.”
The OpenMP ARB now has 33 members, including, in addition to
CEA, the vendors AMD, Fujitsu, HPE, IBM, Intel, Micron, NEC,
NVIDIA, SAMSUNG, SIFIVE, and SUSE; the supercomputing centers TACC,
EPCC, BSC, CSC, and Leibniz Supercomputing Centres; the national
laboratories ANL, LANL, ORNL, LLNL, BNL, SANDIA, and LBNL; the
users NASA and NCSA; and the Universities of Basel, Bristol,
Delaware, Tennessee, Stony Brook, and RWTH Aachen.
About OpenMP
The OpenMP Architecture Review Board (ARB) has a mission to
standardize directive-based multi-language high-level parallelism
that is performant, productive, and portable. Jointly defined by a
group of major computer hardware and software vendors, the OpenMP
API is a portable, scalable model that gives parallel programmers a
simple and flexible interface for developing parallel applications
for platforms ranging from embedded systems and accelerator devices
to multicore systems and shared-memory systems. The OpenMP ARB owns
the OpenMP brand, oversees the OpenMP specification, and produces
and approves new versions of the specification. Further information
