Any use of parallel functionality requires additional compiler
|
| 5 |
|
|
and runtime support, in particular support for OpenMP. Adding this support is
|
| 6 |
|
|
not difficult: just compile your application with the compiler
|
| 7 |
|
|
flag <code class="literal">-fopenmp</code>. This will link
|
| 8 |
|
|
in <code class="code">libgomp</code>, the
|
| 9 |
|
|
OpenMP <a class="link" href="http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libgomp/">GNU implementation</a>,
|
| 10 |
|
|
whose presence is mandatory.
|
| 11 |
|
|
</p><p>
|
| 12 |
|
|
In addition, hardware that supports atomic operations and a compiler
|
| 13 |
|
|
capable of producing atomic operations is mandatory: GCC defaults to no
|
| 14 |
|
|
support for atomic operations on some common hardware
|
| 15 |
|
|
architectures. Activating atomic operations may require explicit
|
| 16 |
|
|
compiler flags on some targets (like sparc and x86), such
|
| 17 |
|
|
as <code class="literal">-march=i686</code>,
|
| 18 |
|
|
<code class="literal">-march=native</code> or <code class="literal">-mcpu=v9</code>. See
|
| 19 |
|
|
the GCC manual for more information.

|
| 21 |
|
|
To use the libstdc++ parallel mode, compile your application with
|
| 22 |
|
|
the prerequisite flags as detailed above, and in addition
|
| 23 |
|
|
add <code class="constant">-D_GLIBCXX_PARALLEL</code>. This will convert all
|
| 24 |
|
|
use of the standard (sequential) algorithms to the appropriate parallel
|
| 25 |
|
|
equivalents. Please note that this doesn't necessarily mean that
|
| 26 |
|
|
everything will end up being executed in a parallel manner, but
|
| 27 |
|
|
rather that the heuristics and settings coded into the parallel
|
| 28 |
|
|
versions will be used to determine if all, some, or no algorithms
|
| 29 |
|
|
will be executed using parallel variants.
|
| 30 |
|
|
</p><p>Note that the <code class="constant">_GLIBCXX_PARALLEL</code> define may change the
|
| 31 |
|
|
sizes and behavior of standard class templates such as
|
| 32 |
|
|
<code class="function">std::search</code>, and therefore one can only link code
|
| 33 |
|
|
compiled with parallel mode and code compiled without parallel mode
|
| 34 |
|
|
if no instantiation of a container is passed between the two
|
| 35 |
|
|
translation units. Parallel mode functionality has distinct linkage,
|
| 36 |
|
|
and cannot be confused with normal mode symbols.

|
| 38 |
|
|
only specific algorithms need to be parallel-aware, individual
|
| 39 |
|
|
parallel algorithms can be made available explicitly. These
|
| 40 |
|
|
parallel algorithms are functionally equivalent to the standard
|
| 41 |
|
|
drop-in algorithms used in parallel mode, but they are available in
|
| 42 |
|
|
a separate namespace as GNU extensions and may be used in programs
|
| 43 |
|
|
compiled with either release mode or with parallel mode.
|
| 44 |
|
|
</p><p>An example of using a parallel version
|
| 45 |
|
|
of <code class="function">std::sort</code>, but no other parallel algorithms, is:
|
| 46 |
|
|
</p><pre class="programlisting">
|
| 47 |
|
|
#include <vector>
|
| 48 |
|
|
#include <parallel/algorithm>
|
| 49 |
|
|
|
| 50 |
|
|
int main()
|
| 51 |
|
|
{
|
| 52 |
|
|
std::vector<int> v(100);
|
| 53 |
|
|
|
| 54 |
|
|
// ...
|
| 55 |
|
|
|
| 56 |
|
|
// Explicitly force a call to parallel sort.
|
| 57 |
|
|
__gnu_parallel::sort(v.begin(), v.end());
|
| 58 |
|
|
return 0;
|
| 59 |
|
|
}
|
| 60 |
|
|
</pre><p>
|
| 61 |
|
|
Then compile this code with the prerequisite compiler flags
|
| 62 |
|
|
(<code class="literal">-fopenmp</code> and any necessary architecture-specific
|
| 63 |
|
|
flags for atomic operations.)
