Topics

Here is a list of all topics with brief descriptions:

[detail level 12]

Basic Types	Types that are used throughout the runtime
Deprecated Functions	Functions in this group are for backwards compatibility only, and should not be used in new code
Startup and Shutdown	These functions are for library initialization and shutdown
Parallel (fork/join)	These functions are used for implementing #pragma omp parallel
Thread Information	These functions return information about the currently executing thread
Work Sharing	These functions are used for implementing #pragma omp for, #pragma omp sections, #pragma omp single and #pragma omp master constructs
Synchronization	These functions are used for implementing barriers
Thread private data support	These functions support copyin/out and thread private data
Statistics Gathering from OMPTB	These macros support profiling the libomp library
Tasking support	These functions support tasking constructs
User visible functions	These functions can be called directly by the user, but are runtime library specific, rather than being OpenMP interfaces
Atomic Operations	These functions are used for implementing the many different varieties of atomic operations
Wait/Release operations	The definitions and functions here implement the lowest level thread synchronizations of suspending a thread and awaking it
Processor Trace control	API from this group provides control over collection and analysis of Intel Processor Trace (Intel PT) data Information about Intel Processor Trace technology can be found here (Volume 3 chapter 35): https://software.intel.com/sites/default/files/managed/39/c5/325462-sdm-vol-1-2abcd-3abcd.pdf Use this API to mark particular code regions for loading detailed performance statistics
Threads	Give names to threads
Domains	Domains group
IDs	IDs group
String Handles	String Handles group
Task Group	Task Group
Tasks	A task instance represents a piece of work performed by a particular thread for a period of time
Markers	Markers represent a single discreet event in time
Metadata	The metadata API is used to attach extra information to named entities
Relations	Instances of named entities can be explicitly associated with other instances using instance IDs and the relationship API calls
Counters	Counters are user-defined objects with a monotonically increasing value
Legacy API
Collection Control	General behavior: application continues to run, but no profiling information is being collected
Threads	Threads group
Synchronization	Synchronization group
Events	Events group
Memory Accesses
Thread and Object States
Frames	Frames group
